Definitely BOTH!!!!

Hannibal:

Definitely BOTH!!!!

Sure. . . . .Who would prefer a stalk illiterate?

ahn ahn , no now.

I've dated a guy who's very book smart. He was additional help when time for assignments came. Very helpful. In fact, I think he's good marriage material because he would be more likely not to cheat, he'll just stay home et. al. Though lacked street smarts in everyway possible, i'm surprised though because he's spent of his time in Nigeria. I know Nigerian men have a lot of things under thier sleeves

But I think that not all men have the total package, so sometimes sha, its good if couples can balance each other out. Somethings are just oblivious to some people.

U won't be happy if he gets fleeced off $1,000,000 by cheap fraudsters.

LOL!!!!


Now u're talking about common sense,

if i had to choose one, i will pick book smart over street smart. reason being that one can be tutored on how to be street smart.

I think that Common sense and Street Smarts are two different things.

I'm not sure what the difference is, but i know they're two different definitions.

@ jaquan I agreet to an extent.


But I think that street smarts is better learned thru experience.

@madamkoko
true talk.
But street smarts hardly puts food on the table. but book smarts definetely does and i am speaking from experience.

you are absolutely RIGHT!!!

I think that women sometimes find men who are book smart BORING.

SO lots of men who are book smart, don't start getting marriage options until after théy've made wealth.

Sorry to say but most men who are book smart are not the most attractive/they don't dress well/don't have much social skills until later in life.

Pls correct me if i'm wrong.

you never lie.

I was beginning to agree with you up until I read your comment about unattractive, whatever.
You're confusing them with nerds don't you think?

It's good to have both.

Definitely book smart! Let me handle the street, please.

I think some of the men that want street smartness in their women will change their minds if they knew the skills that qualify a woman as street smart.
I can mess around with a street smart woman at arm's length, but no I dont want one for a wife and closeup under me like that.

Are you joking?

You can NOT be tutored on street smartness that is an innate ability, they don't teach it in university.

That is what differentiates Leaders from Managers.

Natural leaders have an innate street smartness. Managers are those you can train and teach to be pseudo-leaders, relying on formal process to learn how to be smart.

Mandela - Leader
Kofi Annan - Manager

Jose Mourinho - Leader
Steve McLaren - Manager

Jay-Z - Leader
Tony Yayo - Fool

@ post


both, both, both

If i had to choose one, it would definately be BOOK SMART because experience and crazy people would force one to become street smart.

Now, that is a terrible, terrible sweeping generalisation!

ROTFLMAO!!!

I want both.

No one really makes it in Life without having the two.

Nelson Mandela & co n co Read.
if thats not book, i dont know what else is.

@ post

a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.

I'll choose streetsmart any day, if I had to choose one

When Ms Streetsmart has to meet an accountant tomorrow
She studies everything she needs to hold a conversation with him, I get the good deal
She can hold an interesting conversation with people of all trades

Streetsmart people get the booksmarts to do the jobs for them
Take a look at M.K.O's boardroom and see what I'm saying

The world has stopped looking for booksmart people now

Really, says who? the world will always need booksmart people, being street smart is also an advantage so if you have both, then youv'e made it.

@Eldee,
Plsssss
The Streetsmart cannot do without Books.

So, you cant cancel out the Bookies

Lol _{that was a clever post. se you know the abnormal p[i]e[/i]nis getting more turned on each passing second. if only i had known you were this clever.}

HOW ARE YOU ETHANOATE ION.I GUESS YOU ARE A FELLOW CHEMIST.cAN i MEET YOU

Oya! Acid someone for you oh!!!

Acetate anion. Aren't you missing something? You're an anomaly that cannot exist in isolation and nothing more than a convenience - a figment of the imagination.

You should be a salt. Go find yourself a cation somewhere.



Of course the best mix is both, but if I had to choose, I'd choose a bookie with a hyperactive imagination.
That'll beat streetsmarts everytime.

Yeah . . . they still need 'em but not like before
That's why universities have braod internship programs, student unions, campuses, to enlighten you about what you need to survive in the outside world

That's why sumone that studied Pharmacology can now work as an accountant
A streetsmart person will master any field in one month

The fact that you read books does not make you booksmart
A booksmart person has commited almost half of his life to studying one thing
He knows everything about that one thing

A streetsmart person tries knows one thing about everything

Gamine:

Oya! Acid someone for you oh!!!

Oh God! please no.  The erected nose just bacame dejectedly limp and comatose.
