Intellect turns me on

[Danugh]

It does in general but i saw this guy and physically he utterly repulsed me , but then i heard him speak and i got tuned the f_ _ k on.

He had such a brilliant mind i was just soaking up everything he was saying.

So i befriended him on the spot and now when i look at him i find him so attractive now.

Thats why people need to look beyond the physical and get to know a person because you cant judge a book by its cover.

I know what you are saying, beauty does not stop at looks, glad you found that out too

I loved helping my boyfriend revise for his maths exam. Watching him do equations and talk maths made me scarily horny.

With intellect you can achieve anything. It should be put on an even higher pedestal than looks in the media.

Geeks. =]

Naah, j/k. I know what you mean.

Ok, lemme ask you, does intellect turn you on more, or humor?

I love guys that can make me laugh, laugh at themselves and anything, I dunno know why, but it turns me on. I love witty comebacks and smart-ass remarks (jokingly of course). I think it's a confidence thing, kind of like a "fuckit life is good" mentality. My two cents.

intellect is definitly a turn on for me... and stupidity is a definite no....
you could be hotter then brent everett... but the moment you say something stupid is the moment i walk away...
i also agree with DaMindCandy on the humor... it can't cope with stupidity but it does give you a lot of points

I enjoy intellect and I enjoy humor; probably humor wins. I use humor every chance I get, but it's not a confidence thing - it's just the opposite. I use it to hide my insecurity and to laugh at myself. I think I have a way with words, a quick mind, and an offbeat/demented sense of humor - some of the few talents nature gave me. I really haven't found a 'following' for these, however. My boss does appreciate me for these, though.

I absolutely completely agree -
in fact, I have a really good friend who lives across the water (the UK)...
he's absolutely brilliant..perfectly date-able material..not the best looker but pfft at that, neither am I..I'd date him (and even so, i would never have sex with him, again that would potentially wreck things even more) except it would potentially wreck the relationship (and I don't care to test that theory) and we both know that..

intelligence will get my attention
well-placed sarcasm will get my attention
wit will get my attention
as for looks..i'll look at them and say 'show me something else, get my attention some other way'..

as for stupidity - i have a low tolerance for stupidity. Ever feel like punching someone in the face for being stupid and wasting your time? i get that a lot.

i really hate the whole preoccupation that society has with looks
i'm not a posterboi, i'm not a twink so people tend to look through me rather than at me. even on the net, on personals sites etc, everyone looks for sex.
but i say: after sex, the guy leaves, then what? that's rather empty.

it's one of those things that i can't really get used to.

I been saying that looks are not that important since day one to my friends. We all age. I don't look like I did when I was 20 years old....or when I was 10 years old. Sure I'm a big guy and I think I'm average looking. But nobody's interested because they can't get past what the media has said the average person should look like. Oh well, all I can say is for those of you who are young, hung and very cute....enjoy it well you can because there will be a time when looks won't save you and then us intelligent, fun-loving, humours guys will get the spotlight!

 

[cocktales]

I wish I had said those ^^^^ words; for they speaketh the truth!

Bravo! Bravo!!

 

[teh_nathan]

Yes, looks fade - enjoy it while you've got it.

 

[DarkNeko]

Intelligence is really sexy. I love geeks.

 

[conrad]

Fortunately, some bright guys know they are not bright in all areas of life. There's something to be said for having a "down to earth" type teacher to show a bright one the "real" facts of life. I am still grateful for those first delightful lessons.

 

[metta]

Big time. Even better....an intelligent guy who also takes care of himself (eats healthy, works out regularly, good basic cleaning habits, but not obsessively) and is not conceited.

 

[teh_nathan]

Damn. I'm 30 lbs overweight :\

Damn. I'm 30 lbs overweight :\

More of you to love

 

[teh_nathan]

That's very sweet of you to say (if that's not one of the nicest things anyone has said to me this week, I don't know what is), but it really makes me insecure and I'm trying to lose it somehow. Oh to be back at 160# again...

<- have some hugs

More of you to love

I find a man that's intelligent much more attractive than someone that's just pretty. Of course there are physical attributes in a man I like better than others, but I've met and interracted with men that aren't necessarily handsome in the classic sense, but have had a high level of intelligence, been humorous, quick-witted, relaxed and comfortable and confident in their own skin. Those traits can make a man that's not necessarily blessed looks wise become incredibly attractive. Men that look concerned every time I use words with more than one syllable are just plain boring.

Sexiness is a mindset rather than something you see in the mirror. This is why this skinny ideal in the media these days is just sad to look at. By - particularly women - following this trend of being a size zero it just looks like that's all they have to offer. Anyone can go on a crash diet and lose a shitload of weight but it doesn't make us anything other than thin. It doesn't make someone more talented at their trait, it gives the illusion of "the perfect body" - well, I don't know about you guys, but I prefer a cushion to a bikerack.

 

[teh_nathan]

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be THIN thin; I just don't want to be overweight.
I was rail thin at 140lbs
I was okay at 160.
I'm NOT okay at 190.

I don't particularly like the whole looks thing that society tries to shove down our throats either.

THIN thin isn't healthy.
