I have always found intelligent men attractive, and am now engaged to one. I call my Common Tator the most intelligent man I've ever met. He has taught me so much, sometimes I feel like I'm Eliza and he's Henry Higgins...:)
Dumb men are a turn off.
Smart men are sexy!
You're engaged to Common Tator? Seriesly?
Congratulations! I agree with you on Common Tator's intellect. I noticed that some time ago. To me, he's in the top dozen of smarties here. Good on ya! :)
"Dumb men are a turnoff. Smart men are sexy!"
I'm with you on this one. Nothing is as exciting or mesmerising as a really smart man. Witty, clever, wise, deep-thinking...yowzah!
It's good you feel that way, but the stone cold truth is that most women do not agree with you.
I make no claims to being smart, but I have always been perceived as being smart, which in this case amounts to the same thing. I can tell you honestly that my reputation for intellect was always my biggest handicap with women.
(Mrs. P. says she sees things differently, of course, but we were good friends for many years before we ever dated, which dominates her perceptions.)
Other physics geeks widely have the same experience. We would call it "The Wall": the invisible barrier that would fall in front of a girl's face the moment she discovered that a physics nerd was hitting on her. We could see it in their faces.
I myself did fairly well with women, but only because I was persistent, bold and in decent physical shape. I succeeded in spite of my reputed intellect, not because of it.
Isn't that "enry iggins"? Luckily, I have my wife, who puts me through enormous trials and struggles with her balance of logic and emotion, whom He granted me to balance my logic and most times, lack of emotion. Men/women....such a delicate yet powerful balance. Who knew?

What?!!! Is this another Freeper marriage!??!
Congratulations, both of you. And many wishes for a long and happy life together. :)
When I just exclaimed to my husband, "Oh my goodness, two Freepers are engaged," he said, "Well, now they'll argue about who gets the computer." ;)
All I can say is, I hope you have a registry at Best Buy. ;)
I'm happy for you!
I couldn't agree more! Testosterone and brains, in the right balance, is a very sexy combination. Dumb men don't have anything I want.

Heartfelt congratulations to both of you!
I have heard that men with major cash flow are also sexy to most women. The anecdotal evidence for this fact of life is overwhelming.
Oh by the way, there is no better football than the annual game between Ohio State and Michigan.
Go Blue!
