I love a smart man, but not a smart mouth.

Ummm, I hate to always take the thread off track, but smart mouth can do wonders sometimes.

Sorry, couldn't help it. It's in my nature.

The sexiest thing about a man is his mind. I love a man that is intelligent, yet humorous. If he can make me laugh, that is the biggest turn on of all, and I like quick, clever humor not slapstick. Also, I don't enjoy someone, who believes he is smarter than everyone else and looks down on people. A smart, caring, witty man; who is modest; is my kind of man.

As long as I'm sexually satisfied in bed, I don't care if they have an IQ of 20!

Being good in bed, overrides everything else!

That is nice, but you can't spend all of your time in bed. Eventually, you have to have a conversation. Also, a smart person knows how to figure out how to satisfy their partner.

Conversation is easy to come by, transformative sex which can leave you breathless is always hard to come by.

different people like different things.

But intelligence (and not defined as academia, plenty of academic people are fools at everyday life) in terms of wisdom, knowing how the world works, etc. is a big turn on. Plenty of people say that intelligence means jack, and it's hollow to judge somebody on it, but we judge all the while on looks, social status/class, educational level, religion, race, interests/hobbies, etc. and none of these have a total bearing on an individual. So what gives, what is the true difference, eh?

I couldn't see myself dating a woman who had no interest in the big picture, or how the world operated. That is a part of my personality, and something that would be necessary in any potential date.

I think the real root of this attitude is pop culture, which is hardly based on logical grounds anyhow. Pop culture is just said, not meant.

No.

I like people who stop and think and say "Umm" from time to time.

Despite being a really nice person, if they were just plain stupid, would it attract you?

Good post. I feel the same.

I don't mind stupid people though, they are what they are and if they're nice people, I can deal with it.

In my personal life though I always gravitate towards educated/clever people. They inspire and invigorate the mind.
