Intelligence is something that is funny, you know. You can't tell if someone is intelligent unless you take some time to get to know them. At least a few minutes, lol. And then there is like the Know-it-all-type, the inquisitive-type, the quiet-type, and the play-it-off-like your-smarter-then-them-when-they're-smarter-than-you-type (watch out for them), the witty-type, the sarcastic-type, the artsy-type and so on.
But with intelligence, comes individuality; and what makes them different - makes them attractive. They know something you don't - and vice versa, you can learn from them, they learn from you. It's a beautiful thing.
Also, an intelligent person may know a lot, and say a little. And it's more of a challenge to get the knowledge out of them, and it's a more far interesting journey for the road less traveled, when the world is consumed by looks and outward appearance vs. Inner passion and the beauty of reflection.
Rest assured that smart guys are probably looking for smart girls. I look for a woman who can look at a differing view with minimal bias, reading a lot (of course), enjoyment of information and ideas instead of typical entertainment, personal principles that show long-term planning instead of instant gratification, and of course, appreciation for things that have nothing to do with her own life. What's really hard to find is another person who actually verifies the information they read by looking up the original sources, which is frightening when you think about it.
My Grandma used to say "10% of people think, 10% think they think, and the other 80% would rather die than think. " And sadly, there's a bit of truth to that.

To me what makes a girl seem intelligent is just that she's well aware and informed of the world around her, she's a well rounded person and she has a dynamic mind and can hold dynamic conversations. She doesn't have to be terribly book smart, or have a vast knowledge of the legal system, or be able to carry out a long winded debate about politics.
We've all been on dates with those people who are so dreadfully one sided and flat in character, and wondered how that person could live with themselves without dying of boredom. Its not pleasant.
Intelligence is _very_attractive to me. I've known a few extremely pretty girls who became a lot less attractive to me after I realized they were kinda shallow and uninformed.
Intelligent people usually have some offbeat, unusual interests. There's nothing wrong with watching American Idol, but smart people often are very curious, and will search out uncommon subjects.
Smart people also tend to look at the world in an unusual way, and have a unique point of view.
She sees beyond what her eye allows her to. She is not afraid to go outside of the box or to be herself. One could have a deep conversation with her, and she knows exactly what she is talking about. She knows what she wants in life. She speaks with confidence. She remains mysterious without being shady. She's sexy but remains a lady. That's what makes a girl intelligent.
I think that a girl is intelligent if she is well-informed, reads a decent amount, has a good grasp of logic, and is willing to challenge her mind and her assumptions. A girls is, in my opinion, a good conversationalist when she can carry on a conversation about a variety of subjects.
