Does intelligence turn you on?

I am a bit of a nerdy geek sometimes, so intelligent men definitely are a turn on to me. In fact, I am usually bored and disinterested in a man who has no interests except golf, sports, fishing, hunting, motorcycles, cars, etc. Not saying that these men are not intelligent, I just rarely have anything to talk to them about.

Intelligence is actually a necessity for me.

Same here. I find that the more intelligent, the more profound their capable of in their emotions.

It gets often times confused with book learning.

Agreed. But often times, the two are mutually inclusive.

I'm talking about common sense and creative thinking. That's the stuff that I need to feel mentally stimulated.

Same. Otherwise, I get emotionally turned off....

Ginger, to look into other people's minds would be like a bad acid trip in many cases. You really wouldn't want to go there because it would make Freddy Kruger look like Elmo, get what I'm sayin?

You can't possibly know what goes on in the depths of the human mind.

Ted Kasinski was a brilliant man, get my point!

Being attracted to someone is either physical or emotional. It has nothing to do with intellectual attraction until you get to know that person.

We are creatures of a biophysical and genetic nature...period. Are primary reactions are based on those concepts. Everything else after that is a learned or acquired response to external stimulation.

"intelligence if combined with humour an warmth is the biggest turn on of all. all sex is really in the mind. "

OK...if that's true then why do most women say that most men think with their d**ks first? Sorry, love! You can't have it both ways...

And a man can be humorous and warm without a P.H.D.! I gaduated magna cum laude from the University of Hard Knocks and Stupid Mistakes years ago! I majored in Foot-In-Mouth Extraction.

Beauty without intelligence is like a gold ring in a pigs nose.

Oh gosh yes! Intelligence and a sense of humor. I love that in a woman ! I've said it several times in these forums...."sure she's beautiful, but if she can't string two words together...." Tho, to be honest, I've really not dated a woman who was "dumb", everyone has intelligence of some manner. It may not be 'book learnin'', but they'll have knowledge of things that I don't. So it's a learning experience!

Okay, yes, I'm a nerd. I have been all my life, even when it wasn't a 'cool' thing to be. I had a slide rule and knew how to use it, no pocket protector though and I think I only had tape on my glasses once. (basketball accident).

However, "snobby" intelligence IS a turn off.

But, yeah, intelligent women? Bring'em on!

Intelligence: knowing how and why it's raining
Wisdom: knowing to get OUT of the rain

You are right on that one... most men don't like to be wrong (I don't think women like it either, to be honest) .... and yes, a lot of men tend to feel threatened (I don't date women, so can't say about them) by an intelligent woman.

HOWEVER.... if she is the type who "will have you know".... then she may be intelligent, but she isn't very wise.
