| Does intelligence turn you on?
Posted: 6/17/2008 7:28:17 PM | Intelligence counts big with me, too. 
I could sum up my girlfriend preference like this - smarts and heart makes a tasty tart. 
I like a woman who can outsmart me. (Some will tell you that's not difficult.)

Posted: 7/8/2008 3:56:01 PM | Woman´s intelligence
I know what u mean.. ...My sister´s Godmother is such a beautiful and smart woman and she told me once... "You should begin to act like a little silly girl " and I asked why... She told me... Man doesn´t want suchhhh a beautiful lady that could left them for other guy .. They prefer the ugly ones, the normal ones or the exotic ones for staying their lifetime.. And at the same time not tooooo smart cause they could be feel intimitated ...
The other day i read a book that was called "Man prefer silly woman" and it says.. Woman are so smart that pretend to be silly in order to get what they want.. so be carefull guys with the silly ones hahaha.
Anyways.. i know i´m smart but i don´t show it often all the time hahah.. not because i play the silly role but because i prefer not to open my mouth and say comments about some issues.. hahah
Man´s intelligence...
Intelligence.. such a great quality in mannnnnnnn... Hey.. i love a guy with whom i could talk about everythinggggggggg... | |

But it is just one part of the package...
Equally important traits are looks, humor, compassion, and humility. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 5:53:11 PM | | Absolutely- intelligence turns me on! I love when a guy can teach me things and challenge me. Don't be intimidated-We all have something to learn from each other as everyone is a student/teacher. | |

I dated this really intelligent girl ... felt a bit intimidated. I know it is kind of old school but I did not want to date her again ... frequency mismatch I suppose. Was it foolish of me?
Two words; Man up.

Posted: 7/9/2008 10:21:18 AM | | It depends on how you are measuring intelligence. Common sense, avid reader, stands behind his beliefs with good reasoning, tolerance in other's beliefs, takes interest in world affairs, etc. reflect an intelligent person in my opinion. I work with a few teacher's who have master degrees, phd's, etc. and have difficulty with spelling and common grammar rules. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 10:30:52 AM | | Not only is intelligence a huge turn-on for me, but it is a requirement in a partner. I need mental stimulation just as much as emotional and sexual. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 10:40:28 AM | | I'm not necessarily turned on by intelligence, but I am very much turned OFF by people who are constantly trying to prove how intelligent they think they are. Especially if that includes them trying to prove they are more intelligent than you. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 10:43:57 AM | Yes, absolutely it does! If I know that the man is intelligent...it will also lead to good communication, which is a must for me!
Intelligence doesn't mean that the guy has to have 3 college degrees. I know college grads who can't put 2 sentences together, in a row. Intelligence comes from maturity, having the ability to think before one speaks, and a confidence in himself! Many men are intimidated by a female who is an intelligent gal, but.....that's too bad, because some of the nicest gals I know are intelligent enough to be able to give a MAN everything he needs. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 11:03:02 AM | | Glad to see that everyone is a brainophile. :) I know I certainly love it when a woman is brainy (if I may use such a goofy term). Some of the most attractive women I know are not because they're gorgeous, it's because they're smart, classy, and they know it. | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 12:59:08 PM | | Of course it does.. I hate not being able to have a conversation with someone about things, exchange thoughts and ideas. The mind is always the sexiest muscle... even though it isn't a muscle :) | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 2:13:04 PM | OP; you mean to say you dated someone who was CLEVER than you...
I always find stupidity a turn off. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 11:27:41 AM | A smart, capable woman is very sexy too me. However, smart doesn't always mean educated. I love educated women. But if she doesn't have common sense, then thats a turn off.

Posted: 7/10/2008 12:05:14 PM | Intelligence turns me on....if you make me want to read up on something...love you! Lol
But if you are arrogant and condescending....not attractive.
I like a man to be on my level or smarter than me...otherwise I get quickly bored and frustrated. And I dislike feeling like I need to dumb down so he can feel comfortable. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 12:14:55 PM | | Sure it does, OP! There are other factors of course, such as warmth, kindness, and a deliciously dry sense of humor, but intelligence is a major plus. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 3:57:41 PM | Some people don't give others enough credit for who they are or what they have done, education and degrees as we know can be a bit slighted to their credit or deceiving of someone. Show me a person who has applied themselves and is what they consider successful, happy and I would say they are intelligent. I have walked into many offices and I looked at their war walls covered in plaques and diplomas. I call them this because it looks like they have saved the world, yes I know some have to have certain diplomas visible. I actually have to burp when I see this, am I to be intimidated by this show of prowess. During many interviews it takes but minutes for them to realise how miniscule all their plaques and degrees really are. Some have even removed most of their credentials from their war walls upon my return visit. JMO, I think Farmers are some of the most intelligent people I have ever met. | |

Short answer, YES
Although as previously pointed out, there are many forms of intelligence but the form I refer to is the ability to learn combined with EQ. I have met people with a more limited ability to learn and although great people, just not the right chemistry for long term. As stated in my profile "Education and continual learning are a part of your lifestyle". I believe the OP used a great term
frequency mismatch . | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 10:51:13 AM | | Intelligent individuals need intellectual stimulation or challenges, otherwise they get bored. I can't say I'm that intelligent as the next person, but I quickly get turned off if the conversasion becomes mundane and not stimulating. | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 3:09:19 PM | wow; you should never feel that way; there are some brilliant female minds and I love them. Its fun to talk to someone and even be humbled at times due to their intelligence.
What most women want is respect and honesty and to be loved. It takes a very secure man to be able to have someone that smart and if you are secure, you will have no problems with it. Dumbing someone because they are smart, is dumb!;) | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 4:00:27 PM | Intelligence turns me on, but it defends ,if a person is flauting his knowledge on spaceship etc.. his schools,his career non stop and I have to listen to it that I can't participate on talking ,I 'll be intimidated too. No it was not foolish of you to be intimidated. And it is too bad for that girl ,if she use her emotional intelligence to have a good vibes with you ,she'd find her happiness in you. I don't blame you if you don't want to go out with her again. But don't get discourage,there are a lot of girls out there. Good Luck. Vannili | |
