Don’t Be a Gold-Digger — Be an Intelligence-Digger Instead
The brain is much more valuable than money
The topic of gold-digging is controversial. Dating isn’t straightforward either: while many of us strive to find a happy and loving relationship, some are looking to use others. Gold isn’t the only thing you can “dig” for — there is also comfort, entertainment, sex, shelter, reputation — and many other things.
At the same time, there are good traits one might “dig” for — one of them is intelligence. I believe everyone should be an intelligence-digger, regardless of gender.
Intelligence-Digger 101
The easiest way to explain who an intelligence-digger is is to use me as an example. I, Joanna, am a self-proclaimed intelligence-digger — nice to meet you. I’m not interested in how much money the guy has — although a complete lack of motivation, employment history or career prospects probably would not be acceptable. Instead, I “dig” for actively utilized brains. In other words, I’m looking for an intelligent and smart guy.
Similarly, I don’t have many other criteria on my priority list. I’m not digging for reputation, because I don’t see a partner as a shiny accessory. Using someone for sex is not my intention either, although I have to clarify right away: I’m not a slut-shamer.
