Intelligent Minds

Hello! So before I write about the kiddie birthday party I went to yesterday, I just want to write this. I am just a simple private person, not one to divulge much of my imperfect life. But one thing I want to say is that I like making friends.
I make friends with everybody and I talk with everybody. But I appreciate people who are deep and can really converse well. People who can just go up the notch to understand your point of view and vice versa. People who will question or challenge you to think are the most fun. I do not enjoy the company of shallow and superficial people. Shallow people are like bees in my head whose senseless and nonsense buzzes are noises to my ear. Superficial people are those who will only talk to you because you are cute, pretty or sexy and hot and those who are just that, a figure with no character. And when you fall into these categories, you are adored even if your brain is just empty. Sorry to be rude but I have noticed that everywhere.
And so far, I have seen a couple of members here who are really interesting and worth the time talking with. Intelligent minds arouse me and they amuse me. Please know I appreciate the time and the conversations. I need beautiful minds, not faces, to initiate my curiosity. I crave for quality conversations.
Thats all! Good day to all. Thank you.

What is imperfect or perfect? Everything is relatively in this world we live in. What you call perfect might be imperfect to me and my world, and vice versa. Each country or city tends to have their own standard of perfection too, do you know that? What considered as perfect in Hollywood, might not be approved in London etc.

Very interesting post and perspective on making friends and what you look for in discussions. You might enjoy this quote about intellect that I found by Plutarch-The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Hi DB! Thank you for the kind words. I guess I am getting you g to divulge myself with petty and cheap talks. I dont long to have many friends, just a few true friends are enough. Those whom I can bare my soul and just be the real me. The mind is always fuelled with curiosity, and that curiosity ignites the fire everytime we want to learn, discover and find about something. And I am always thrilled to find conversations that will arouse my curiosity.

There's nothing wrong with conversations, but then I'm not very good at it these days.
My mom's good with talking to people even though who are not that friendly with her.
Have a nice day.

That is okay. I am really not a picky person. I talk with everyone but I know when the converstance has no depth and substance. I get bored easily. I want to meet you mom and talk to her. She looks interesting.

you can find many users here who can fit to your likes. although there are some who can be rude or cannot accept defeats when a discussion arises, it is already in one's own perception if he should or should not accept the friendship or interaction offered by this person.

@mlgen1037 oh, so you meant in this site. i believe there are some users here who are of the bullying and bashing types of personality. don't mind them, if i may advise. they are not the ones paying for us, or you. and don't interact with them anymore. you will only be STOOPING DOWN TO THEIR LOWLY LEVELS. hahaha

You’re right, Ingrid. I have observed some here. And they can really get out of line sometimes.

That quote in the image though...that's totally true. It's similar to how they say "Ignorance is bliss", but as far as what you was saying in your post. I totally agree. Conversing with intelligent and original minds rather, are like finding gems in a cave. The deeper the mind, the more interested and invested I get, even to the point that I've drowned in before. But the majority always seem so shallow that I barely even get my feet wet.

Absolutely. That is the reason why I wrote this discussion. Plus shallowness and superficiality are traits that are too fleeting or just never last. Waste of time. Plus a brain that is empty are just that, emplty and I have no time for those people. They dont let you think and make you all the more stupid!

That is the most important thing, that you can express your opinions and respect each others’ views and the exchange of ideas. Those are priceless.

I am not intelligent but I am keen in learning.
I am not too much of a conversationalist but I like learning.
My sister is a good conversationalist. But I think I am more of the writer,
I am much better I think in expressing myself in writing.
And I am here because I learn a lot of things by reading.
Experiences of people from different background and culture. I like learning.
