Female about men: I like my men somewhat within my height range (not really taller than 5'10"), thin and wiry, not very traditionally masculine. And pale is attractive unless they also look unhealthy. As in, I would squee my head off over an albino. But I don't like freckles much. Long face. Straight hair is better than curly hair is better than frizzy hair. Caucasian or effeminate Asian are my favorite racial templates in terms of appearance.
As for brains...if he doesn't know calculus, I won't be able to talk to him about all the nerdy academic stuff I do. So there's a certain level of education requirement there. That, and he has to like video games. I prefer if he's chill, but that he has enough initiative in the relationship to not look like a slacker or like he's mooching off my generosity.
I guess it all boils down to A) not immensely more physically imposing than me, B) pretty, C) really smart, and D) can put up with my massive Type-A personality.
