Bah, humbug. Women loathe and fear intelligent men - they are boring nerds. Go to any University campus - there at any given time you will find 3 thousand women stalking the football team and zero women in the philosophy club.

Thus, I conclude the best things you can do to attract women are lift weights and get a lobotomy.
Women are quite smitten with loud, aggressive, neaderthal simpletons who are certain to use and abuse them.

I don't know why this is so, it just is.

It's not as much intelligence that I find Captivating is the expression of intelligence.

I find most scientists to be a bit of a bore (or arrogant to those who are not as intelligence), no matter how smart they are.

I was head of the Chemistry Club, and in the Chess Club. I've been known to ask potential dates for credentials proving their intelligence. You might note I am also quite attractive. The other credential is that the man must be able to keep up with me physically.

Intelligent and Fit. I accept only the best of both.

Perhaps that's because many of the "neanderthals" playing football are also on the Dean's list? They realize it is quite possible to exercise their bodies as well as their brains? Perhaps the women prefer men who are physically and mentally fit? Perhaps the philosophy club boys should consider getting up off their brilliant asses and doing something more than philosophizing about how horrible and stupid women and athletic men are? Who knows? They might even learn something.

Intelligence balanced with common sense is captivating, and sexy.
Wisdom to balance the knowledge. (rare trait)
The mind is the greatest erogenous zone, and will entertain you longer than the physical.
The physical body will eventually slow down, but the mind will remain active and engaging.
To build a long lasting realtionship the mind must be a foundation stone.

Maybe, but probably not. I think women love these "neanderthals" because they are masculine, aggressive and have a drive to win. The person on the team that women love most are often the QB and they are considered a team leader, someone who carries much of their team on their shoulders, a man of responsibility. It is his decisions and ability that shape some of the outcome of the game.

I think people need to stop generalizing football players as dumb jocks. They may not be the smartest people in the world, but they can be charismatic and many women love a man who takes charge much of the time.

How to get women to think you're intelligent:

1) Be good-looking
2) Be attractive.
3) Pay lots of attention to her.
4) Say little enough to allow her to fill in the blanks with her own fantasies

If you're smart enough to sign your name in a checkbook and avoid wearing different shades of black at the same time, most women will think you are friggin' Steven Hawking.

Wow! You have us wimmens all figured out, don't you? We're a simple bunch. Oh, and I'm quite confident I'd never mistake you for Stephen Hawking even if you were smart enough to sign your name in a checkbook.

I think I'm a fairly intelligent person (and I've been told twice I was brilliant...Lord only knows what made them think that), with a broad range of interests. I'm not an IQ elitist, but I much more enjoy conversation with a woman that I feel is on an equal level or above with me than one who is not. We don't have to have the same interests, but be should be able to discuss what interests we have in a manner that is not condescending or patronizing.

I think women prefer to bamboozle a man with sex and
sex appeal. It's simple, and it works! Now suddenly,
as with me, if sex isn't the be-all, end-all, and I consider
intelligence Sexy, now it can get really convoluted and
messy! The woman, doesn't know where she stands
anymore! She has lost that most prized ability to control!
Just my thoughts, on my own experiences!

NOT ONLY THAT! But I think as well. The more dialogue
that takes place, the more likely the guy WILL get himself
into HOT WATER! Whether the discussions, are about
social issues, politics, you name it, you will find something
where you don't agree! Damn, how does one go back to
hand gestures and simple grunts?

Food for thought. Yes, I have met the scholastic intellegence. Is it "real" intellegence? All though I do hold a high respect for these individulas that can consume mass amounts of information, I question this as true intellegence. I question the current standards for measuring this. I feel it is a mockery on the whole. Analytical types are indeed intellegent by traditional standards. In my experience, they lack severally in seeing things outside of certain realms of thought making them blind to the whole.

^^^^^^Yes, I see it here from time to time.

Very, very smart people! They write extremely well,
and yet I often don't have a clue what they are trying
to say, because often their focus, is just too sharp!
One has to read every few words, seven times and then
finally, you can't even digest the entire piece!

Absolutely. I'd like to be with someone with whom I can have an intellectual conversation. If someone isn't capable of that, things get very boring.

My experience has been no.

In a friend they might accept it. In a lover only if he can translate his intelligence into a decent career.

I think people seek similar intelligence levels in mates just as their physical beauty is almost always similar (plus or minus one point on a scale of 1 to 10). Intelligence is about pattern recognition ability, inference, and deduction and has little to do with trivial facts or being interesting. First impressions last about 20 seconds after which a decision has been made about your IQ and disposition. People avoid me and I avoid them if we determine an IQ mismatch occurs. I certainly want no interaction with people posting with substandard grammar and spelling errors. Its kind of like going back to second grade again. It would be excruciatingly boring.

I was discussing world events and how easily peace could be brought to the Middle East and this was obviously turning her on more and more as she turned to the guy next to me and proceeded to make out with him and then leave...Screw that International Politics course I said...I am never going to get a good mark from Professor Smyth...she gets distracted way to easily when I am asked a question

'Wow! You have us wimmens all figured out, don't you? We're a simple bunch.'

Boring anecdotal evidence aside...

Yes, actually. Just watch what the wimmens folk DO and ignore what they say.
Once you stop listening to the words, lies, contradiction, illogic, and rather start to think
like a behavioural scientist, wimmens appear about as predictable as an ant colony.

I don’t know why men find the behaviour and motivations of wimmenfolk to be such a mystery.

When I sit across from a man who not only is intelligent but articulate and passionate of which he speaks my heart warms and my pulse quickens. I can only express regret to those who believe women only want intelligent men if that makes them have more $$.

You sound bitter. By this logic one could conclude that all men just want eye candy on their arms, and only for status symbol. I happen to not adhere to this illogic. Men are equally as (un)predictable as women.

Perhaps it takes more than an impressive IQ/Fit body to attract interest beyond a few dates or casual relationship.

I'll be the first to admit I am a snob when picking a potential long-term mate. I want a man who can stimulate my mind, perform admirably in bed, be able to keep up with me in my day to day activities, and retain a life of their own without me. Money is not an issue for me insofar as they can support themselves, and not need my help to get by. I have more than enough money of my own, thank you very much.

Protector? I know of few men stronger/fitter than myself. Provider? No, I do very well as is, and better than most people in general on my own talents. I search for (and have) an equal companion in my important aspects of life. Brain, brawn, sense of adventure, humour, and inquisitive zest for life. The rest is negotiable.

Believe me, it is hard to find someone near my own perfection.

And if you believe that ... Any guy that says he hasn't fanasized about 2 women is lying. Any guy that says
"Intelligence is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than physical looks is lying."

Conversely I know 2 guys that are very sucessful with women.
One: is a very good looking drug addict, a user-bad boy type, women keep the guy alive
Two: 6'4" neanderthal whose IQ is lower than his shoe size (granted he has big feet but he's stilll stupid)

Intellegence means little to no one no matter what they say.

Logic and reasoning is a sound basis from which to make a decision.... e motion (energy in motion) is not a sound basis from which to make a decision.

Emotion is either for appreciation or entertainment!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
example: using logic to buy a car (I have x amount to spend- I will buy what I can afford)
vs
using e motion to buy a car (Oh GOD I love it! - Get in debt up to my eyeballs)

.... using e motion to find a mate ends up in Divorce Drama and Heartache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coincidence, happenstance, serendipity, fate, or the hand of god brings the right person to us ... be at ease; not dis-ease... just "Be" ing... why struggle? relax and float!
