Posted: 6/7/2008 7:48:18 PM | "Talk nerdy to me" LOL good one
Intelligence is VERY attractive to me. For one thing, I've found that bright men are usually witty and never boring! We can make each other laugh and hold each other's interest in a conversation. That's a good start. If there is a significant disparity in intelligence between my date and me, I find myself getting frustrated with the effort it takes to communicate. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 8:30:18 PM | I could care less if the man has a piece of paper (or sheepskin) to prove his intelligence. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom & lots of people can regurgitate data & still not have a clue what it means. Heck, I can do that! But someone who has learned many things because they are truly interested in something is like an all-you-can-eat buffet to me! It's just really fun to talk about crazy things with anyone, romantic intentions or not; male or female. I just have a good time with anyone who can talk about anything that's interesting & almost everything is interesting to me. I prefer someone who can talk about a lot of different things & not just one or 2 things. As interesting as I find 4-wheeling to be (on a rare occasion), I don't really want to spend the rest of my life talking about not much more than that. I also like to spend my time with people who have a very high EQ (emotional quotient) & not to leave out well developed social skills that go beyond just simple EQ. If there isn't a big heart to go with a broad mind then you generally wind up with ineffecient communications & I'm all about communication.
So in short...yep! Intelligence, in the myriad of flavors, is hot stuff to me! Seduce my mind & heart & the rest is all yours. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 8:32:59 PM | Oh, yeah. The brain being the biggest sex organ & all (thanks Heff, U rich perv).
For real, my best loves...well, laugh all the time during warm-up/or just living/sharing...
then B4 sex & after sex...ok, a few times During, but somebody usually falls out of bed or
breaks the bed, or something like that, & that's called "funnynus coitus interrupt-us" , according to the New Sexual Medical Encyclopedia...(oops! forgot that won't be out till next year).
Seriously, I LOVE women smarter than me (Ok, that would be 100% of women, or something). Well, to start with with, they know what they want, they know what I want, & they know how to manipulate me to get what they want, so that I also get what I want.
Lost you, huh? Not really, I know. But that one works. Although, I definitely only prescribe this method for "professional/advanced/mature" would-be trysts/couples.

Posted: 6/7/2008 8:57:08 PM | Like many of the previous posters---stupidity turns me off.
I enjoy being with intellegent people. I don't mind if a man is more intellegent than I am---but if he talks down to me or thinks he needs to "teach" me about the world because I must be stupid if I don't have the same IQ as he---well, let's just say there won't be a second date.
There are many types of intellegence and all should be valued. The only true reason a person puts another person down is to lift themself higher because they are feeling inferiour. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 8:57:51 PM | Absolutely a great feature as I like an intelligent conversation. However, I like great sex too so that's a toss up for me. LOL
I'll take both how's that? | |

Yes, the humor part. I forgot to mention that. The dry, under the radar humor is my favorite....the kind where you have to really be paying attention & have enough going on to get it. But the wild kind where you're falling out of the bed laughing over even the goofiest of things is good too. Besides, having a great sense of humor requires some intelligence.
Cold, dry intelligence can be boring zzzzzzzzz. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 9:32:14 PM | Not so sure if intelligence turns me on or ignorance just turns me off. On the other hand what is intelligence? One of the smartest people I ever met was a 58 year old African-american janitor who had dropped out of school. He couldn't talk about James Joyce's "Ulysses", but he was way more intelligent than most people I've met.
One thing that cracks me up is that alot of women think the silent type man is deep in thought when he is probably just too intimidated to speak. You want to know what the silent type is thinking? This is what is going on in his mind--"Gee, you sure do look purty". | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 9:38:09 PM | Yes it is part of what attracts me to a person.
Intelligence can manifest itself in many ways though,humour,quick wit,finding something funny to laugh about,when other's might be put off.
How they listen to you,and the feedback you get from them and vice/versa. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 10:40:38 PM | "In Like Flint", became a popular phrase. Dates us late baby-boomers. Flint was the coolest of the Hollywood secret agents. We're grateful for James Coburn, his arthritis battle was not his coolest role.
Batgirl's got her head on right. I'd crack her up. Alas, not allowed to communicate w/ppl
who might please each other. That's life! | |

Momarks: "talk nerdy to me"
OMG that's funny. But also, true! Smart catches my interest always. But it has to be combined with a sense of fun and a kind heart, or it can actually be a turn-off. With a sense of humor and a curious mind, the conversation can go anywhere and everywhere.
I worked in commercial construction for over 20 years, and I've had really interesting conversations on jobsites with people who may not have been super smart, but had skill and passion about what they did, and if you engage them in explaining and showing off what they do, they are only too pleased to do so. I have never been shy about asking the stupid question, even when I think I know a little about something, because the answers sometimes surprise me with how little I actually knew. Expertise and passion is sexy to me, too.

I thought it was in like Flynn? But I can't remember what it refers to, so maybe not.

Posted: 6/9/2008 10:44:01 AM | | Definitely! An intelligent person has so much more to offer; but at the same time it depends on how they use it and if there's anything more to them than brain capacity. Their are many forms of intelligence. | |

Because I am an uber nerd, I need intelligence to get me going.
You just said that because of all the "talk nerdy to me" posts. lol
I love women that are smarter than me! Of course, they're all smarter than me so that doesn't really narrow it down much. | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 2:34:11 PM | No, it doesn't "turn me on". However, I find it a very attractive personal trait.
General stupidity in a person leads me to find other places to be... I have a low tolerance for stupid folk, no matter their IQ or level of schooling they have reached.
I have also met some intelligent women who wasted little time in letting me know how smart they were. 
This behavior quickly overcame any attraction I may have felt. | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 3:03:42 PM | ^^^^^^Yes but in 30 billion years the earth will only rotate every 40 days and the moon will remain stationary over one area of the world.....I calculated this by knowing the moon is moving away from the earth 6cm every year, and we all know as the world slows gravity will decrease, I would show everyone the formula but it takes up two pages | |

Intelligent conversation can be a turn on, for sure!! If it's a topic that we both have a bit to contribute to the discussion...that's how connections, bonds are formed. To have some-know-it-all shove his intelligence down my throat is not a turn on!!!
league, as long as the moon and stars still shine brightly for those lazy summer star-gazing nights, that's enough to keep this girl happy!! Show me where Orion's Belt is, I keep forgetting! | |

So you are telling us that the world will end in a few billion years?
Quick ladies, lets have sex before it happens! There is no point in waiting  | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 10:31:59 PM | It seems as if everyone is jumping on the intelligence bandwagon. While I'm certainly not against dating intelligent women (I have), high intelligence is by no means a necessary trait. Here are a few reasons why I feel as such.
1.) Intelligence does not equal conversational ability. I'm sure most people have met the extremely intelligent person who is unable to hold normal conversation. Sure they may have a doctorate in chemistry, but try talking about something outside her field and its dry, boring and awkward. On the flip side, I've met several average intelligence women that can carry on intriguing and engaging conversation.
2.) I've found intelligence to be far less important than qualities like empathy, reliability, wisdom, understanding, and caring. I'd take someone who can recognize when I'm upset and know how to cheer me up over someone who perfectly understands Einstein's theory of relativity. High intelligence can do much to advance mankind, but in my experience does little to advance a relationship.
4.) Intelligence is uncontrollable. Our IQs don't really change over time. You cannot resolve to increase it, or work on it. It is the most judgmental criteria on which to evaluate someone. People can lose weight and put on make-up to increase their appearance. People can attend self help and help improvement seminars to increase interpersonal skills. People can get better jobs to make more money, or wear nicer clothes, or get a better car for greater material displays. People just can't change their IQ. Sure they can go to school and take classes, but that only increases knowledge; not intelligence. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 10:45:07 PM | | Intelligence is a must - in fact, I cannot be interested in dating a woman who's not quite bright (and likewise, have no interest in potential male & female friends who aren't). Life is too short... we need to be able to learn from one another. | |
