"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So What Kind of Women Do "Intellectual Men" Often Get With?

It's been said on this board, and there's some evidence to that in the dating game, that many women who consider themselves high on the physical attractive ladder, as well as by men, are often not very bright and seldom hold intelligent, decent conversations. In that light, I was wondering if folks on here have ideas about what kinds of women the so-called "intellectual men" (college professors, teachers, writers/novelists) tend to get with and where they find their future wives. I'm just curious because most of the women who've hit on me have tended to be for example, sixth to eighth grade teachers, high school teachers, etc. and most of them were very pretty, open-minded and down to earth. I wish I knew of any sure places where I could meet lady teachers in this damn city of Philadelphia. Interestingly, teachers, despite being intelectual, seem to have quite some spicy dating lives.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Extremely hot ones. I mean seriously though, this is a loaded question. You can have any kind of women you want. And a truly intellectual man will want a woman that pleases his wants.

A good looking woman that stimulates my mind definitely attracts me more than a plain good looking woman. At first I just thought it was intelligence that I was attracted to but I have come to learn that intelligent women out there that have little to no understanding of passion. So what I've come to appreciate are the more philosophical, artsy, opinionated, worldly yet loyal women.

More times than not I meet them in places of higher learning or adventure type tours (rafting, cross country skiing, mountain biking, etc.) If you get a chance, take a trip to Denver or Boulder, they're the norm out there.

Re:

Thanks, man. Skiing and mountain biking and rafting, etc. are new to me...not trying to be stereotypical here, but you know, I'm a black dude, so I'm yet to explore a lot of that stuff. LOL.

Re:

I actually used to be a very good swimmer in my home country, but I haven't really swam or had a chance to do so since I came to the U.S. in 1998. The last time I swam was in 1999. People I talked to say that in that case, I'm gonna have to learn how to swim all over again. Black people can and are good swimmers too. LOL.

One of the things that differentiates a DJ is that he is comfortable in several environments. Think of the missed opportunity that being stereotypical ideals set. That's one of the worse things about living in the states. For a nation with so much opportunity, people constrain themselves with self inflicted limitations. What if you were in Switzerland, Spain, New Zealand? Would you still set these limitations?

Re:

Francisco, don't take my response that seriously. I was simply joking, which is why I even wrote the three words "LOL." I'm not saying that I am opposed to doing such things. As you know though, the U.S. is a racist country, and both blacks and whites look at one race or the other strangely when members of either race are perceived to be doing things that they seldom do. Not that I personally care, but that's just the way it is and it's a shame.

Got'cha. :up:

It's just a lame excuse that I hear primarily here in the States. People gave their lives fighting to allow everyone here to take part in all the opportunities that any American citizen has and so many people limit themselves by self segregation. Madness...

another generalization-inducing thread

not to say all generalizations are bad..its just these kind take it to a higher degree
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
