10 Reasons We're Loving "The Flip Side" Videos

These YouTube gems are flipping the bar scene and dating as we know them on their heads.

Can You Meet An Intellectual In A Bar?

Sure, a lounge is a great place to meet singles, but will they be high-brow?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I finally watched the MTV trash hit Jersey Shore (like how I used "trash" instead of "smash"?), but I'm having a harder and harder time believing that you can find someone who would qualify as an "intellectual" in a bar or lounge or club scenario. Not everyone is interested in dating, chatting or fooling around with an "intellectual." Let's be clear, a smarty and an intellectual are not the same thing (no son los mismos cosas). A smart person is good at figuring things out and solving problems (if not getting in adventures). An intellectual is generally smart and knowledgeable (generally called book smarts*). And they're generally in the know about stuff like current events, literature, the arts and usually one specific area of science. Periodically, an intellectual, particularly the male of the species, can trend towards blowhardism.

There are so many variables: the atmosphere, the sound level, the person, not to mention the many no man's lands you can beach the conversation onto. It's no wonder that many of these interactions go bust. So while perfecting the casual, sexy bar chat is a fine science far too complicated to cover in just one blog post, we at Love Buzz can help get you started on the right track by answering the age-old question of, what went wrong with my conversation?
