Do you find 'smart' as attractive?

Like you, I find smart person attractive. In my own experience, I am married to an achiever.... a scholar, an engineer who graduated with honors (cumlaude). I can say that he is smarter than me. There are times that he criticized me...corrected my grammar but in a nice way and not in the front of other people. I do not get offended. In fact, I appreciated it because I knew that it is for my own good. But, if ever he will do it in front of other people which will make me look stupid.... that would be a different story. :)

smart can be attractive... if intellect and common sense are used in ways that motivates rather than degrades. making the other person look stupid is a negative point against him. i don't mind dating someone smarter, because i know i can hold my own. but i prefer guys i can converse with. i feel comfortable if we could talk about a variety of things, not only the things he's good at.

Yes i do find smart as attractive.. I choose intelligence over the physical looks since the latter deteriorates for some time. But when it comes to dating and having someone to be with for the rest of my life, i dont have very specific qualifications at all. Probably i am inclined more to guys who are smart handling his life. Good etiquette would be a nice plus as well.

I am always fascinated with men who... has the brains - one who can speak out yet not arrogant, one who can carry himself with confidence yet is still humble.. i am also attracted with men who has skills.. one who is good at things.. I would want someone who can match me - i am someone who is outspoken and do speak my mind, so i want someone who can challenge what i think, one who can make me think and one who will teach me more so i could learn and vice versa..and also ones who i could also teach and so he can learn.

I agree with you but then they have to make me laugh. In saying that a blonde in a short skirt is not bad either

Of course! I have noticed that all the girls I have dated and have crush on are intellectual ladies. I would love to date someone who is smarter than me, so I can learn new things and improve myself.

I have a "crush" on a quasi-celebrity with whom I am also something like friends (he recognizes me on the street and leaves comments on my Facebook LOL). Part of my crush on him is based on his looks - intense eyes that change from deep brown to honey gold, long, slender artist's hands, perfect height (for me), fit - but a larger part is on the inside. I consider myself to be a fairly brilliant person (humble, too, ) and normally it doesn't bother me when someone I know is more intelligent because ordinarily they are more intelligent in an area I don't care to know about, like maths or science or computers. Mat, on the other hand, is a brilliant writer, very well-read... in short, smarter in all of the areas I tend to excel. But, while this intimidates me to no end, I also think being able to dialog with him in these areas would push me to learn more. I took the scenic route through your questions but I think I hit them all.

I find women who are very intelligent, very sexy. I think the mind is an attractive feature. Having someone with the same level of intellect, and can hold her own in discussions wouldn't be boring in a relationship. Specially if you could match this intelligence to compliment each other.

I won't mind to date someone who is smarter than me. Actually, I am a quite stupid person, and I also need my partner or spouse smarter than me in certain areas. I might be smart in other areas. So, that might make us equal. None of us will intimidate each other right? That sounds much fair.

intelligence and knowing what you want if an amazingly attractive trait. Someone that i can talk to at an intellectual level and learn from is just so great.

Heres my opinion, yes it truly does matter. I have found in my experience that without intellegents looks mean nothing. For example i dated this girl awhile back hot as all hell but stupid as sin right. I was like hell yah a stupid hot girl score! wrong wrong wrong I got so fusterated I just left the relationship because she was so stupid. So yes intellegents means soo much!
