Smarter please, I get wet when a man is smart.

If I see him reading, watching documentaries, having some serious conversations I have no idea about.

That is sexually stimulating for me.

[Juxtapose]

Really? Usually whenever I want to get into deep or more intellectual discussions people tune the fuck out unless it's a special interest of theirs. People are uninterested in new things so I appreciate your willingness to explore new concepts.

[Opinion Owner]

@Juxtapose I am not interested either, I just get sexually stimulated 🤣

[Juxtapose]

That's fascinating. What about certain new subjects you don't understand but the man likes intrigues your stimulation? Is it because it makes him seem deep and capable?

[debbiedenise]

You too? Not a bigger turn on than a smart man.

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

More, pleeease. I'm proud to be a sapiosexual. 😂

[debbiedenise]

Oh girl! Me too.

Well, hello there, lovebirds in the making! I must say, the brain is one sexy organ, isn't it? In the colorful world of relationships, finding that sweet spot of intellectual match-up is like dancing in the rain – exhilarating and slightly challenging. Personally, I’d vote for a partner with a similar level of smarts. Why, you ask? It's all about balance. Having someone on the same wavelength allows for those deep, meaningful pillow talks that can last until the sun comes up. Plus, it's pretty hot when you can challenge each other and grow together. But hey, in the end, it's not just about intellect, right? Emotional connection and a dash of laughter make the perfect cocktail for love. Cheers to finding that someone who gets your gears turning, both intellectually and romantically! What's your take on this deliciously complex question?

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

You've never had a girlfriend, Love Doctor Brad.

You have nothing to add to this conversation.

[ShellyB]

@PointlessNonsenseGuy I really don’t know why they have the AI answering now lol. Maybe it is so every question gets at least one answer?

[Avicenna]

About the same, I guess. It's perhaps more important to me that we have some similar interests.

[Rei13]

Preferably around the same intelligence but otherwise smarter

[sage2021]

Two people in a relationship must realize that they both had different life experiences, so naturally one will know more about something's and the other will have knowledge about other things.
No two people lived the exact same lives until they met.
I tried to explain this to my then boyfriend because he thought I was smarter than him.

Of course there were some things I was smarter at. I was a single mom, he never had kids. And the list goes on.

He had ADHD (Attention deficit hyper activity disorder) and I don't.

I am an intuitive thinker and street smart. I grew up without a father so I had to learn how to manage life on my own in a big city.
He grew up with parents and I didn't.

But he always tried to make me feel guilty for knowing things and he couldn't help but to learn new things around me.
So he was always making everything a competition. I didn't like that. Like I had a conspiracy against him.🙄

It was like there was nothing I could say to make him feel better unless I just stopped talking all together. Then he might have been happy with himself.

[patois]

It's better when they are smart rather than stupid. That said, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for some attractive women with a genius level IQ. That's just not a realistic goal. Most women are of average intelligence, so that's were the most variety is found. If they happen to be mildly gifted, then that can help make them a little more intellectually stimulating, but it's not guaranteed. So as a result they get some brownie points if they are a little sharper than the other girls.

[HawkPerception]

Around the same level of intelligence. I feel like there's always going to be a dominant submissive dynamic and a relationship between man and woman. Men tend to want girls that are shorter, weaker, smaller, younger, and even slightly less intelligent. And women tend to want men that are taller, stronger, bigger, older, and more intelligent than themselves. It gives them something to look up to.

It's not that men look for dumb bimbos. We just don't want anyone to look up to in the relationship as a dominant partner. We prefer someone that we can teach or someone where we always tend to have more logic. So someone at a similar, but slightly less level of intelligence usually works. Not every guy will want the same thing, but I think for most, even if they don't admit it, it's what they desire.

[theycallme_jd]

Nah man speak for yourself. I need someone to discuss my life with, not someone to explain why I am taking certain decisions.

[sunflower00]

I’d say about the same. I love a smart man, I don’t think I could be with someone significantly less smart just as I believe the conversations and interests would be way off. Also, if he was significantly smarter the same thing, conversations and interests would be way off

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

I guess I would want her to be smart, but on the other hand I wouldn't want her to be SO smart that I feel like an idiot when I talk with her.

Maybe we could be equally intelligent, but know about different things, so we can both learn from each other.

[EmyyWolf]

This is why a lot of women pretend to be stupid with their imbecile husband.
I’ve done this a lot , acted stupid and even made me accent sound ignorant when with him cause he’s that insecure

[DrPepper12]

@EmyyWolf I've seen this in the classroom. Dumass males stroking their ego and mansplaining while the correct, creative complex answer from a girl remains unsaid. Drives me fuckin nuts when they give it after class with out classmates around. Why don't all of you just tell these guys to STFU?

[molonski2]

Happy for her to be far smarter , so long as she knows how to use those smarts for general living , and I'd want her to know how to read a balance sheet , then she can do analysis for me , so not purely academic smart , business smart , life smart , these are often the issue with the highly intelligent , that's certain.

[handsomelad70]

Doesn't matter, though NO TOTAL NITWITS !!!(It'd be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find someone else with a 165 or so IQ, which is in the 99.66% or so percentile of intelligence, but it'd be cool to find a hot, bright chick who was also girly and a bit bubbleheaded !!!)

[Anonymous]

Equal.

But then people talk a lot about equal. I don't think it exists between highly complexed entities.

Balanced would be a better term. Two people with roughly equivalent capability and with strengths and weaknesses in complementary areas, making a stronger and more capable whole.

[NathanDavis]

doesn't really matter... they've been smarter at some things, in some ways... but not everything, and I think that applies to everyone

[theycallme_jd]

About the same smartness is the best choice tbh.

If she would be smarter than me I would feel guilty for not contributing much in the relationship.
If I'm smarter than her than I wouldn't have someone to discuss most issues with, as she wouldn't have an actual idea.

If we're equal then we're both learning and improving together, along the way.

[Revolutioner_83]

i have been talking a girl nowadays, we have started to flirt and i saw that she is very smart as much as me.
i am glad for this. both of us are smart and emotional. I think we're right for each other.

[handsomelad70]

Congratulations, Revolutioner_83 !!!

[Revolutioner_83]

@handsomelad70 thank you :)

[dustybiker2]

I'm always learning. I need someone who challenges me to keep the spark. I love nerds.

[EmyyWolf]

If he’s smarter than me. Even Better lol.

Thats a Good thing lol 😂😂😂😂

[Pupweb]

I say smarter but we both learn from each other

[midnightmoon05]

smarter in areas that I am weaker… much better this way.

[bobalife]

Talk nerdy to me, please 🤭 intelligence is sexy, so I’m for “more “ in a partner

[DJRiddle]

More. I last tested at 151 IQ and got a 99 on the ASVAB with the lowest GT score of 142. It would be nice...

[Juxtapose]

I want her to be smarter because then she'll be more interesting and competent. Also less likely to be immature.
