I believe people can compliment each otherboth people can be good at diffrent things and still enjoy each other

Capt. Kirk would have had her already

i think a woman who has her life together and going in the right direction, with some knowledge in various areas is very attractive to me,but i can compromise with a hot dumb bimbo too.

true

For me, it's crucial -- 10 out of 10. 10 out of 9, maybe.


Do most people look for mates that are of similar intelligence to themselves?


I've been trying to, for years --

From now on I'm picking dumb ones. That way I can just trick them into submission and if I put their helmet on backwards... they can't see their way to the door.

Would love a nerd of my own.

I didn't realize HOW MUCH I needed intelligent conversation and comprehension with a mate. I'm no genius, but this one sweet, nice, affectionate, good-looking man..... I HAD to call it off!!! After doing our thing, there really wasn't any intelligent conversation to sustain us and he just wasn't involved in much with regard to thinking or being creative or discussing or discourse. It was torture for me to just try to have a discussion much more than the weather or sports. He just didn't have the capacity for more and even those subjects were limited. I really seriously got bored silly with him. But VERY NICE, VERY GOOD-LOOKING, etc. I remember when we met thinking he had to be too good to be true!!!!

For me, VERY. I am attracted to those of similar intelligence level to me, but it doesn't have to be in the same area. Often, I prefer it to be in an area I am weaker in. I like the balance.

Intelligence is not as important to me as being honest, sincere, caring, loyal, considerate and humorous. Intelligence and Looks rank below the above mentioned things.

I think it is very important, if you are intelligent and you cant talk to or understand the person you are with, then you really dont have a relationship. So I would think most people look for someone close to themselves in intelligence!

ok, all kidding aside

I prefer someone who is not necessairly intelectual but passionate about understanding things in their world.
Someone who can express their thoughts with care and excitement and cause me to enjoy hearing them
Someone who can laugh at themselves and at me and things in this crazy world.

I tend to be attracted to guys who are intelligent for the mostpart.

It's very important for me.

I know I'm no Einstein lol but I've been with women who are less than averagely intelligent (jeez that sounds mean but it's the truth) and it was clear that it would never last.

I need an equal.

In an ideal world. Very. In a practical setting, something more than a blank stare would be nice when I show what I do and it would be really nice to appreciate and encourage someone for their talents or potential for growth, in a relationship or friendship.



People tend to seek out others at their own level but let's not let it be the defining factor of who is better than who. That's a personal character issue, usually almost totally unrelated to intelligence. The closest I've gotten is to admire the talents of others but in entirely seperate fields and usually in one area of discipline. There's a buffet I go to in this town because I've discovered friendly and intelligent life.

I think that is equally as important as just intelligence!

Most of the women I have been with have been intimidated by the fact that I use words with more than two syllables.

it's actually kinda funny when I say something at work and one of the guys I work with says " What the hell did you just say??? "

We do not have to be have Intellectual compatability, as long as the person with the least intellect is not the one who wants to lead intellectual.
