Which is more atractive to you, a great body or intelligence? If you had to choose between two lovers, one looked perfect but was not very smart and the other looked plain but was very intelligent which would you choose?
Personally I go for the brains. A smart man is a huge turn on for me.

Well for a true long term relationship i'd definitly go for the smarter one because looks fade away but just for a short term thing just to have fun i'd chose looks but in a real situation i'd want a little of both because smart people make u feel dumb sometimes and hot people make u feel ugly. So a little in between would be perfect.

You're right about the smart thing.
Although if they both that's perfect as you need to feel attracted to your partner and just "being" smart sadly doesn't cut it in this world.
I think it's better to be smarter but you know.

That's great to hear!
I think more people should look deeper with in because you get someone who fancies themself and they become a player or already are. (except not all)
Generally smarter people treat everyone kinder :)

Depends, am I looking for a partner or someone to satisfy an itch? Obviously for a long term partner, I want brains. Beauty & biceps fade, but intelligence will last. But if you're single, I see nothing wrong with a good romp based only on physical attraction. When my ex & I broke up (after 10 years together) I had a cheap & mostly meaningless fling with someone signifigantly younger than myself based only on being physically attractive to him. It was fun, without any complications & exactly what I needed at that time in my life.
It's almost like television. I am much more apt to be found watching the Discovery channel, History Channel or even the Sci Fi channel; but sometimes South Park or Family Guy is hella funny!

The brains.. the brawn might be fun for a short period of time, but eventually the novelty would wear off and you'd want something more substantial.
My favorite part of intimacy is lying in the afterglow after making in love, talking about things that are important to me and my partner, and if we're on a trip or out to dinner and have nothing to talk about, his body does me absolutely no good. :)

Usually smart person not a nerd person is attractive on their own way. Something in their eyes is just attractive. I rather have a smart person also as a lover. Hey love not all about kissy-kissy goo goo...relationship need more ingredient just good looking. Better if you can have both!LOL

I have been fortunate to have dated both and the one I married was the one with the brains - a huge turn on for me too. He's focussed on our future, determined to reach our family goals and always has a plan for everything. Not only that I have decent quality conversations with him and he is not into himself, but into my son and me :)
