Yes, I crave that as much as an emotional and sexual connection.
I need a woman who can stimulate my mind and challenge me, educate and help me grow.

Yes for me it's 60/40 with physical connection and intellectual connection. I enjoy talking to girls about interests and really like learning new things about people (both men and women). But to be able to have a great relationship with a women you no doubt have to have some sort of emotional connection, I notice this the older I become.
I do, I don't want an air head for a partner I want someone I can relax and joke around with but also have seriously discussions about politics, science and the like with as well.
Men normally do not crave an intellectual connection with a woman, they prefer beauty, body and her willingness to sex. Contrarily, woman mostly love/like an intellectual man.
I'd much rather have a deep emotional connection to be honest. Intellectual subjects like politics and science have never been my thing. I'm a hopeless romantic through and through.
biologically, intelligence falls low on the scale of attraction that said, commonality and some amount of intellect is important for long-term compatibility
Maybe but a lot seem to crave just having a buddy to do things with that you share a like of. I suppose it depends on how big of a nerd or geek they are.

we dont just want sex. Why are men always labeled as only wanting 'sexual connections' with women. Like look how many female, waste of time sluts u see on a regular bases. Obviously when it comes to serious relationships we want intellectual compatibility.

I think we should shoot for a connection in every level we can, where we can't we compromise. If it gets hard to stand, then leave. But I've never dated so wtf do I know.
Yeah see for me I have it to have it to be attracted romantically to them - and Yeah seriously - and my reasoning goes something like "I identify a lot with my intellect so if someone doesn't crave that how could they truly like me"
That's totally fine, people are different after all, intellectual people are virtually drama free and more authentic which is always a plus, what fields of study are you into?
Just about everything tbh - I honestly do stuff like read physics textbooks out of interest, even though I'm not amazing at science. Or stuff like family history... or sociology...
It's a bonus I suppose. Mostly I want 2 things from a woman: Mutual respect and a strong connection, and that includes sex-we must connect on a few things and one of them MUST be sex.
I think most people desire someone with the same level of intellect. So, a man who is highly intelligent, will probably pursue a woman who is around his level and vice-versa

I do crave that, many men do not but I think it's actually more important to men/more men crave it.
I found that intellectual women (not only thinking about the field their job is in) are quite rare, even among the educated women.

Perhaps not all men, but it is something that I treasure about my girlfriend.

they are not mutually exclusive in my opinion. try emotionally connecting with an intellectually vacant person :)
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind 😊

I prefer an intellectual connection with a woman rather than superficialities.
Men crave an everything connection with a woman.
Intellectual, Emotional, Physical, Mental, Spiritual, everything.
It was very important to me when I was dating. I was looking for someone I could imagine talking with for the next 40 years.
Do women even know how to have an intellectual conversation with a man and still be interested in him?
Because it's been shown women get quite board when men try to treat them as human beings rather than sex dolls.
Intellectual connection? No. Whenever I meet a woman as smart as me, she usually ends up having some kind of complex.
Hmm I can imagine that but I know plenty of brilliant girls who seem just fine to me.
I have yet to meet a smart girl who doesn't think she's better than everyone else.
Oh I see. I have lol.
I don't crave it, but it would be nice, but not too much that it over rides the romantic side of the relationship

That's nice, physics is my favourite, I love making people go nuts explaining quantum mechanics to them, always fun lol
Hahahaha :)
I don't like people who can't talk about anything other than reality tv. I like intellectual conversations.
