I've been looking at people's replies on different forum posts. There are some very intelligent people on here, some of the writing is fantastic. Is it a bit weird that it's a little bit of a turn on?

In response to the second part:

- Of course not! The main reason people demand socials is to see it there's a mental connection first.

In response to the first part:

- 'Some' is the right word. There are a lot more crazies in my opinion. Have you read any of the threads talking about the economy, bareback or immigration?

It's a bit relative too. About a third of my work colleagues have a PhD so I don't think of myself as anything other than average. But then you read some threads and there are people who consider themselves scholars because they are the first of their blood line that can read and recite a newspaper...

For me a turn on is someone who is not afraid to use a dictionary when s/he encounters a word s/he doesn't know.

Apparently it's wrong to find the mind attractive...

Or is it only ok if it's an intelligent mind?

I'm not sure of the rules any more..

I think your not allowed to find one particular feature attractive but I could be wrong..Seems the rules are very bendy

There was a rather cringe worthy moment on question time last week where an enlightened member of the audience told the panel they should stop reading newspapers and "start watching the internet" because newspapers were heavily edited.

He then sat back in his chair looking pleased with himself...

I think Forres Gump nailed it when he said "stupid is as stupid does".

There was a business called "Long Term Capital Management" that was full of 'geniuses' and nobel prize winners (albeit in economics, which is like winning best personality in a beauty pageant). Anyway, why are they famous? Because they put their ideas into practice and became America's largest bankruptcy at the time.

If that's what geniuses do then I'll take stupid please...

It was meant to be condescending to anyone who thinks that reading and reciting a newspaper makes them more intelligent than me. I described myself as "average". If you think that's unjustified then yeah, personal taste...

I can't help but feel that we live in a world gone mad with many rules making no sense at all & gone way beyond bendy & more boarding on insanity ! So I'm not one for following rules unless they sit right in my head .

I prefer to live by & follow my own , not always the easiest path but the right one for me !

I go by three main rules 1) Not doing anything that insults my own soul 2) Not knowingly doing anything to hurt another living being 3) Being true to myself & standing by my beliefs & decisions whether folk like it or not !

"If you don't know what a sapiosexual is, then you obviously are not sapiosexual. You'd know what it was otherwise. "

Er no, because sapiosexual means being attracted to intelligence, it doesn't necessarily mean sapiosexuals themselves are intelligent or well educated and it doesn't mean they necessarily have an extensive vocabulary, or know that particular word.

I don't think intelligence is anything to do with manners.

A lot of very intelligent people are too divorced from the real world to have any concept of manners.

Manners are a social construct and are nothing to do with intelligence or cognitive ability.

Ooh good angle. I (husband) can honestly say that I've found myself very attracted to some people that may not be considered conventionally attractive, mainly due to their social skills - which I'm counting as part of intelligence. Unfortunately, the Mrs is all about the eye candy so it leads to some interesting debates...

I tried to write a response based on what I consider attractive but it's too complicated to put succinctly in a post like this.

I find intelligence attractive but I need to know someone to some extent to be attracted that way, and it rarely happens on here.

Therefore, I usually look for eye candy. That causes a variety of difficulties of its own.

I've seen lots of people who contribute regularly to the forum called intelligent by others and I'm left scratching my head thinking really? I just think they talk a load of Bollocks, personally. It's definitely down to your personal tolerance for bull shit and your ability to decipher if someone is just spouting words or if they have anything interesting to say.

This is a perfect example of why manners are not linked to intelligence.

They could be considered alongside emotional intelligence, but I consider that more a learned skill rather than a capability with which one is born.

Intelligence, in my view, is an ability to learn, to deduce, to imagine and/or to adapt. It can manifest in a variety of ways. Intelligent isn't the same as educated.

Intelligent and stupid are exact opposites of one another so that statement makes no sense as you have written it.

If you mean, for example, that people who are well educated yet lack common sense exist in all walks of life, I would agree.

You need to be more precise.

The only way for someone to be both intelligent and stupid is when making relative comparisons. You could, perhaps, say that someone is intelligent when compared with person A but stupid by the standards of person B. Even then it's a bit of a stretch.

It's like describing someone as both tall and short.

I love deep conversations and putting the world to rights. I consider myself to be an educated and intelligent woman, and I love feeling like ive 'met my match' when we get talking. I love learning from people, and when things are explained to me by someone who is passionate, that's how I learn.

That being said, I'd love a clever mind as part of the whole package.

Vacuous is fine for the short term, but it seldom works for me.

Intelligence isn't a prerequisite, however an interesting and exciting mind is. I'm a firm believer that eroticism is born and developed in the mind. Mutually intriguing and excited people can stimulate each other to an amazing extent way before they meet.

Excite the mind and the body will follow.

A world of my own

I am a sapuosexual. I used to have it on my profile but got bored of all the 'what does that mean messages'

Intelligence is hugely sexy. Someone that can turn on my mind is a must.

For me that also includes a good imagination. Someone who can capture that and take you on that sort of journey is very powerful.

The forum is full of people expressing their opinions. Some are well evidenced and some are not. Opinions for me are not always a sign of intelligence or education, they are often emotionally or culturally driven

I know people who would be considered to be intelligent who use their intelligence to belittle, correct you constantly and hammer their own opinions home because they feel that yours have no value. I also know people with phds with no social skills whatsoever.

A good balance of intellectual and emotional intelligence with a degree of empathy and humility is what I find attractive...but I am aware that this is purely my own opinion...

I value intelligence and find it important in my daily relationships. I also appreciate it when it's evidenced on the forum because I like informed conversation.

But for NSA sex I'll take the eye candy, please.

"The forum is full of people expressing their opinions. Some are well evidenced and some are not. Opinions for me are not always a sign of intelligence or education, they are often emotionally or culturally driven

I know people who would be considered to be intelligent who use their intelligence to belittle, correct you constantly and hammer their own opinions home because they feel that yours have no value. I also know people with phds with no social skills whatsoever.

A good balance of intellectual and emotional intelligence with a degree of empathy and humility is what I find attractive...but I am aware that this is purely my own opinion... "

I think everyone on here would like to consider themselves intelligent. Some say they consider themselves average but I doubt anyone would say they are of below average intelligence.

It's very unlikely, statistically, that everyone on here is of average or above average intelligence though.

Still, what different people consider as intelligent will vary according to their experiences, peer group, family and many other factors. We're not all using the same criteria.

It always makes me when people claim to be "proffesional" though

I love learning for the sake of it - but I'm limited in what I can teach myself. While I can learn things related to my main subject area (i.e. within humanities) relatively well, I could never teach myself maths of physics.

I adore learning, and enjoy reading in many subjects outside of my vocational necessities, but there are may things in life for which I haven't got a clue. Any kind of engineering and I am as useful as a gibbering baboon.

In any case, emotional intelligence is more important than facts and figures.

I wouldn't say I look for intelligence per se. Intelligence can come in many forms. Some people who appear to be quite clever can actually be incredibly dull. It's more the case I don't like being around moron's or people that aren't on my wavelength. I like being around people I can learn something from. Someone who'll make you think about something in a different way. They can teach you something. That can be attractive.

So basically I want someone who's not an idiot, has a good sense of humour and has enough humility in themselves to not come across as a total know-it-all. That I can find attractive. That I can be drawn to. Someone who is (or thinks they are) intelligent and likes to make you aware of it at every opportunity is not attractive at all. Humility and humour along side the so called intelligence is key. Otherwise you're just an intelligent moron.

I certainly think that's true for me.

Someone can be and brilliant person, clever, have similar interests to me. But all they have to do is say something sexist, homo/transphobic, racist, classist, or just treat another person poorly, or use language that makes me uncomfortable, and they're out.

It's important someone is on my wavelength. If they're not on my wavelength, I don't really want to get naked with them.

I stopped seeing someone because,although he had an English Masters and had written books and blogs and can cook really well,I found conversation with him difficult. He had nothing to talk about except what he had done in his life; his work,his online blog,his books,his mother. The conversation never went off on a tangent and if I tried to steer it in a different direction he clammed up and suggested we went to bed. He was rather good in bed though,but not enough to keep me going back. I like people who have done a lot in their lives,I won't deny that I like hearing about their adventures,but I like to get a word in now and then. I'm not particularly knowledgeable and love hearing stories. That is what turns my head,but I like talking about Zombie apocalypse escape plans and what would you do if you could live on Mars.

Graphic Novel: A term employed by people too embarrassed to admit they read comics.

If we're being pedantic, graphic novels are written and published as a single, full-length narrative. If it was originally published as a series of monthly floppies, it's technically not a graphic novel. As critically lauded and worthwhile as the likes of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns are, they're not graphic novels. They're comics.

Most people are going to be about average - whether forum average differs much to site or real world average, I don't feel able to tell. I do like intelligence in others, it's attractive. But our individual understanding of what it is differs. It's not knowledge, which some still assume it is imo.

And it's not just about fast mental speed - there are brilliant minds out there who are measured and may be somewhat slower due to some decline, affect etc.

It's better to be comfortable as you are and not get into comparing yourself to others.

in a way i do think the biggest sex organ we all have is the brain.... but there is a huge diffenence in what i call academic smarts and real life smarts....

people may be academically way more gifted than me and i am always learning from others who know more on subjects than me... but there are also people who can take those smarts and use it in real life applications and situations....

because half to fun of people on here for me is that i can butt heads with people on different subjects.... not everyone does fluff..... and thats what makes the place interesting...

"I stopped seeing someone because,although he had an English Masters and had written books and blogs and can cook really well,I found conversation with him difficult. He had nothing to talk about except what he had done in his life; his work,his online blog,his books,his mother. The conversation never went off on a tangent and if I tried to steer it in a different direction he clammed up and suggested we went to bed. He was rather good in bed though,but not enough to keep me going back. I like people who have done a lot in their lives,I won't deny that I like hearing about their adventures,but I like to get a word in now and then. I'm not particularly knowledgeable and love hearing stories. That is what turns my head,but I like talking about Zombie apocalypse escape plans and what would you do if you could live on Mars. "

I'd open a chippy on mars , them martians can't get enough of pie chips and mushy peas ....they're mad for it !

I don't much buy in to the different types of intelligence thing - either you're clever or you're not, or possibly somewhere between.

"I've been looking at people's replies on different forum posts. There are some very intelligent people on here, some of the writing is fantastic. Is it a bit weird that it's a little bit of a turn on?"

Intelligence should never be confused with knowledge .

Knowledge is only a small part of the measure of intelligence .

An intelligent person knows when & how to use their knowledge at a specific time .

I know plenty of highly read people who are thick as Fook .

Though it comes in quite a few forms, intelligence is very much a turn on for me. Even more so when that intelligence can be expressed in an elegant, almost demure way.

That's not to say that a lack of intelligence is a turn-off, however. No, what turns me off is a lack of intelligence combined with a certain thoughtlessness. If you're not particularly intelligent, at least be a respectful person

Well said! I think a successful fab meet needs to stimulate the mind first. There are so many cock photos on here, I need to find something extra in the profile to make me want to meet them. A well written or well thought out profile is an instant turn on.

"The forum is full of people expressing their opinions. Some are well evidenced and some are not. Opinions for me are not always a sign of intelligence or education, they are often emotionally or culturally driven

I know people who would be considered to be intelligent who use their intelligence to belittle, correct you constantly and hammer their own opinions home because they feel that yours have no value. I also know people with phds with no social skills whatsoever.

A good balance of intellectual and emotional intelligence with a degree of empathy and humility is what I find attractive...but I am aware that this is purely my own opinion... "
