I find girls more attractive if they show intelligence, yes. Shallowness and stupidity beyond typical human limits/blunders will only get her on the receiving end of my snark, as exhibited with several girls at my school.

Well, personality is the most important factor. I do, however, need a mate who has a certain degree of intelligence in at least a few areas, because I'm very eloquent and need someone who understands my words...sometimes I talk like some scholar out of the 19th century or something weird like that.

Intelligence can make a girl extremely attractive, but there are some girls who, though they have hearts of gold, I would not date...physical attractiveness is, however ashamed I am to admit it, a big factor with me.

Intelligence can be a positive modifier to a girl with what would widely be considered mid-level looks, making them hugely more attractive to me. Did I mention I have a huge glasses fetish? xD

I do find brains attractive but not when that is all they have. Smartarses that correct you for everything little thing you spelt or said, such as saying things like "Thats not blue, thats teal", is very very unattractive.
I don't really mean a know-it-all, just a reasonably above normal intelligent person. I should probably clarify a few things, shouldn't I?
No no you're fine. The person that I have had the above experience with was actually a very smart person. He just didn't know how to use it. But yes, I find people that can talk nerdy attractive.

I can find someone physically attractive, but if they turn out to be a moron then it turns me right off them. I think the thing is that I find intelligent girls who I can have a good conversation with even more attractive than I would a person who is far more physically attractive, but rests solely on their looks. If that makes any sense.

If that's what you think, then you'd be surprised. A few of my friends are quite gifted, and most of them are kinda self conscious. I don't really understand it though. They're all reasonably good looking in my opinion. I blame society.

If they have an attractive body/personality/whatever-floats-yer-boat. Yes.

I mean, I don't find intelligence per se attractive, which is why I don't *yaknow* to pictures of Einstein.

I agree with you one-hundred percent here. Society is often made a scapegoat for one's personal problems, but in this case society really does play a huge role in people's self-consciousness.

When I look for a woman, they must either know what a +7 Vorpal Longsword does, or at least be a gamer of the tabletop and video kind. My last girlfriend played both World of Darkness and Left 4 Dead.

She was awesome.

I look for smarts when it comes to women. I'm more attracted to people that can actually speak in an intelligent way instead of the damn "Sup boy? You lookin fo' a dime?" shit I got at public school.

Oh, and just to give my own opinion on this matter as well (I guess I should):

I'm actually not the type of person looking for a date. A friend usually grows on me after I hang out with her a lot, and it's nice if they're intelligent. As long as they don't look bad and are reasonably kind (more is better), then looks are fairly low on my priority list. For people I don't know, I actually don't notice looks much at all (my friends think I'm strange for that) but it's nice to see someone smart even if I don't intend to date her.

I don't know if its the same for everyone, but I actually see people differently after I get to know them, and yes, they actually look less attractive to me if they're fuckwits.

There again, maybe I'm not against a lack of intelligence, but the pride in being an idiot that seems so popular nowadays.

OF course there always has to be a base level attractiveness physically, but past that, I have to be able to talk to people on a similar level.

Attractive? Well...sort of?
Let me phrase my answer thusly: Stupid people are very very unattractive.
This ^^

There is a difference though between being smart and well educated.

It really depends. You could be the smartest person in the world but be 200 pounds over weight but I'm not gonna find you attractive.

On the other hand, if there is a really, really hot person but is a fucking idiot, they've lost all hotness in my opinion.

whether or not theyre smart doesn't matter. If theyre attractive, then theyre attractive. End of story
