“Since joining chemistry.com, I’ve conversed with two men: one an aspiring writer and former local politician, the other a CEO of his own company.”
My comely female mole on Chemistry.com is a little hottie, a 4.0 grad student at an Ivy, and loves men to death. Obviously, these men have no taste whatsoever.
“I’m sad, however, that neither men sought to pursue the conversation beyond a few interchanges. One stopped emailing after I sent (at his request) a follow up photo, which reminded me that physical attraction is a key player in relationships. Lack of it can stop things cold.”

Why does a 4.0 at an Ivy need to be reminded how important physical attraction is?
You’re looking for romantic partners on that site, not study buddies, no?
Anyway, I think in those situations it’s very rude to just “go silent” as these men did. If you’ve had a decent interchange, the other person at very least deserves a gentle but honest response. “I enjoyed our conversations; you’re an interesting person. I don’t think I can pursue this further right now..”
But people are such chickenshits.
Why not both?
A hot study partner…now that’s my idea of heaven.
But you’re right, perhaps grad school has me unduly focused on the brain. I forgot there’s more to me that people are looking at.
It does? I’ve been going about this all wrong!!
I am such a chicken shit.
