There are many qualities of a person that we find attractive. One of these is Intelligence. Are you easily turn on with an intelligent person? I dont mean about a bookish person but a person who knows how to communicate well and knows how to say the right words when he/she talk.

hi maria, oh yes, definitely. I am always amazed with people who are smart and intelligent especially with guys. I usually find them attractive, there are some who are so smart and yet so humble. A guy who knows how to communicate well and can present himself in a proper way usually turns me on.

Yes. Definitely. My husband is very smart and that is one of the first qualities that attracted me to him. It is important to me that I have a partner that I can have a conversation with. But, not only with conversation but intelligence is beneficial in a lot of areas! He is great with the kids when they need a problem solved, or help with their homework. Also, he can fix things in the house when they break which saves us money. When I am gong through something he talks to me and makes me feel better. I don't think that I could be with someone that wasn't smart. I am not meaning Einstein, but someone that can stimulate my mind!

Generally, intelligence turns me on. But it would depend on the person's personality. If he or she is like cool about it and does not brag it, then that is fine. But if you blare it to the whole world that you are intelligent even if there is a need to know it, or maybe the person wants attention, then that person better rethink his or her game plan. Nobody wants a braggart. Nobody wants a person who is overbearing, or who belittles someone just because he or she is intelligent

Hey Lizbenetua, Its interesting that you said that you're not into a person who brags about their brains. Truth be told when I think intelligent, I think all around, so an intelligent person wouldn't be bragging. They'd understand that they had some smarts, but that they are also average or even pretty dumb when it comes to other subjects, thus there is nothing to brag about.

I like people who are intelligent and smart. Because its hard to make good jokes when your around with not so gifted people. Even simple conversation can be irritating sometimes if they can't get what you mean. I mean I can talk about economics, history, trivia, and other good stuff. And all the other can say is what is his or her favorite movies and songs.

I am not sure if it actually turns me on to a person but I do admire and respect an intelligent person who I can sit and talk with on the same level. I hate wasting my time with people who cannot relate to me.

Hey what's wrong with bookish? lol! I think bookworms are cute, ecspecially the kind who find out you are really into something, and they learn about it so that you can discuss it. Once I told a guy about this book that had really changed my life, do you know he politely interrupted me to write the name of the book and author down, and the next time I saw him he was reading it. He was much older, and very much taken, however this is definitely a turn on. My perfect mate is definitely the type who values information, and can use his communication skills to engage me and other people in conversations about his interests.
