Are you attracted to intelligence? - Page 2

dixiechik · 07-14-2010, 05:01 PM

Intelligence who knows? You can be the biggest dumbass on earth but class and self respect it a must.

Sergeant Pepper · 07-14-2010, 05:02 PM

Somehow I manage to find the most intelligent. Apparently, I am.

just my opinion

Totally agree. My husband hated school...but I have never managed to beat him in a game of chess. Ever. It's one of my favourite things about him

Yes, I can play. Have taught it, even. No comments from the peanut gallery.

I don't do the dumb thing. There is nothing that is a bigger turn off... well... except slime in personal spots... but really... that rarely happens, right?

sexychitchat(m) · 07-14-2010, 05:18 PM

no not at all persoanality and humor goes a long way with me

woedude74 · 07-14-2010, 05:21 PM

Ok, I guess i should revisit my initial post. I am not saying I need a frickin' rocket scientist, or a chick genetically engineering a cure for blue balls... but a strong enough grasp of concepts so that we can effectively communicate would be nice... probably required.

Big O · 07-14-2010, 05:28 PM

I agree with Rex. Intelligence comes in all forms. Book smarts to street smarts. I am better with street smarts. As long as I can carry on a conversation with a woman and she can peak my interest in what she talks about then yes, It is attractive to me.

SirFox · 07-14-2010, 05:30 PM

I am afraid that I become bored easily so the lady in question has to have street smarts but also be intelligent and be culturally viable..and curious....

So ya mean like, um, 2 + 2 = 4 (unless you're an accountant) does it for you

wan2b · 07-14-2010, 05:46 PM

I have yet to find a women who hasn't out smarted me in one way or another. I'll take a clever one who can make believe anything that I want her to be.

Loves2Flirt · 07-14-2010, 05:51 PM

I love a man who has some intelligence, but not TOO smart that he can't let loose and have fun. For me, humor is sooooooooo sexy.

redcat · 07-14-2010, 05:52 PM

The best humor, has roots in reality. Intelligence, in it's many forms, may be utilized in pure, raw humor.

And appreciation of such humor, takes intelligence as well.

I hope you're laughing.

cougarmomma · 07-14-2010, 06:10 PM

I'm attracted to a man with some intelligence sure. I look more for his overall personality and how he treats me. Could be the smartest guy in the world but if he doesn't treat me well, then I'm not attracted to him.

lawdog. · 07-14-2010, 06:27 PM

As long as they can converse and make sense, I'm good

PA Loverboy · 07-14-2010, 06:30 PM

Intelligence? Sure, I love a woman that can hold a conversation on a number of different subjects. And has a good sense of humor & sharp wit.
But over-educated or high-brow? Big turnoff. I work with a lot of these types every day, I truly pity their husbands or boyfriends.

likesbuttons · 07-14-2010, 06:33 PM

smart ,witty and a bit arrogant.....yes may i have some more...

Tempest · 07-14-2010, 06:45 PM

Very much so. I love a good debate. Or just hearing someone be able to speak intelligently about what makes them happy. Or mad for that matter... But it has to be mixed with a good dose of humor.

drkcloud · 07-14-2010, 07:21 PM

EasyGrin · 07-14-2010, 07:27 PM

Intelligence and confidence are an excellent mix

Simply Just Me(f) · 07-14-2010, 07:37 PM

Yes.. intelligence is good.. makes for an interesting conversation(even sometimes when its over my head).. .. but so is humor very important.. and then mixed with confidence makes a deadly combination .......

~***~ · 07-14-2010, 07:40 PM

Yes. I love being able to have a good conversation with someone that has some intelligence. But someone too smart can be obnoxious!
