I want girls to feel the confidence you get from being smart. They get so many messages that tell them the most important thing is to be beautiful.

There are a lot of girls I've found attractive, but we could never date. If a girl can make me laugh, that's really attractive to me. I have a soft spot for southern girls who are sweet, like Taylor Swift!

Yeah, it's tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it's true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.

Guys usually like my sense of humor, and I am pretty down to earth. And I'm a driven person.

I'm attracted to women who are smart and funny and ambitious and have lives of their own and great families. Isn't that what attracts anyone?

I like guys who are confident but not cocky, who are comfortable with themselves, and who know what they want.

Girls especially are fond of exchanging confidences with those whom they think they can trust; it is one of the most charming traits of a simple, earnest-hearted girlhood, and they are the happiest women who never lose it entirely.

I always read that men don't like intelligent girls, but I've always found the reverse.
