Gauging a person's attractiveness by just "intelligence" or looks kinda misses the entire point. It's really all just about compatibility. Regardless of how intelligent or attractive a person may be, if they aren't compatible with you then everything is completely moot.
I agree completely.
However, I find I have fairly low compatibility with dumbasses.

All too often I encounter intellectuals who haven't an ounce of common sense, which is not only highly important to me, but proves beneficial throughout life. Nothing frustrates me more than a book smart idiot.
Whilst eye-candy is nice, the jocks usually suck sexually. It's a scientific fact that a well-educated male can last longer in the sack. (Well, that's what a well-educated man once told me lol) I never verified the statement.
Anyway, I came across this article today, which claims "geeks" are better dating material:

Between brains and brawn - I opt for common sense, with intelligence and fairly good looks (God forbid they spend more time in the mirror than I do)

Ugh tell me about it.
Even completely unrelated to the dating realm, I deal with people like this on a daily basis. One of my clients recently had like...4 PHDs or something just absolutely absurd and they couldn't figure out how to get their laptop to display on a projector.
People without common sense don't get along well with me - I just get so frustrated with them. You can be absolutely book stupid and not know a thing about anything, but if you know how not to make yourself look like an idiot, we're cool.

I like girls who are a mix of intelligence and looks too  . Clever but ugly/ fat is just as bad as hot but airhead.

pre med.. yet he has problems with evolution? <boggle>
You would be surprised at the number of medical students (yes students, not premeds. premeds are a dime a dozen, I'd bet >80% of premeds never make it to medical school) don't believe in evolution, or maybe believe in the "micro" vs "macro" evolution bullshit. This is especially true here in the good ole south.
While medicine is founded on the basis of biological science, learning to be a doctor is more like learning to be a mechanic than a scientist, the facts that support evolution that are everpresent in biology don't present themselves as much in the medical field.

You, sir, are truly hilarious.
On topic, I was recently talking to a bunch of people about how sexy a girl who know her math is. I think I said,"Yeah, if they're good looking, that's nice, but if they don't know their math, I'm not touching that!"
And my standard for women: If they don't know calculus, they're either too young or to stupid.

Brains win easily, eye candy is nice but I still have to live with you. I also love debating, to the point that I will scare most people away, but if you don't get scared away then I know I can enjoy the relationship without having to repress my own thoughts. I also love to just speak my mind, which often leads to debates, if a girl wants me to prepare everything I say like some kind of PR monkey she can get the fuck out.
That said, people view intelligence in many different ways, we could even have a debate about that! Riku is right to say that the ability to use language isn't much of in indicator, though it can be annoying if it is so bad that they can't communicate anything well. Nothing is worse than a debate that end up being a debate over word meanings. For me, intelligence is the ability to think critically and accurately, to understand logical fallacies and avoid them, to think outside of the box and not rely on popular support of an idea or preconceived notions, to be willing to abandon incorrect thoughts and ideas even after investing heavily in them, and to have the confidence to challenge the world.

I figured "my Darwin view on evolution" should be descriptive enough.
However, if I must spell it out:
I believe genetic mutations occur when replicating the DNA to produce offspring. Those genetic mutations which are beneficial give those offspring a higher survival and reproduction rate, which causes it to become more prevalent in the population. On the other hand, mutations that aren't beneficial do not become more prevalent. Over millions of year these "micro" evolutions collect to "macro" evolutions, etc, etc.
Erm... I'll work on that.

Yeah, my dad always told me that I should try my hardest in school, but not sacrifice the rest of my life for it. He said that they might get slightly better test scores, but at least I can ride a bike.

That's a good prerequisite, I should adopt that for my own!

Albeit, spelling and grammar is not exactly the best sign of intelligence or lack there of, but... damn, the grammar nazi in me is really stubborn.
I'd have understood a generally lax approach for a blog post, but in a sentence in which you describe how stubborn a grammar nazi you are?
I'm no grammar nazi myself; I just think that anyone who claims they are (and then does that to a sentence) should be made to work in a camp, mining singulars and plurals for others to use.

Good stupid:
I'm still not grasping the concept of theoretical physics and...
okay kidding.
The okay kind of "stupid"
I don't know who Rommel was.
How do I get a network printer to show up on my computer?
I'm having my mechanic install a new O2 sensor on my car, because I don't know what it is.
The "I'll never date anyone like this" kind of stupid:
I can never remember which side the gas pedal is on.
Backing down the shoulder of the interstate because I missed my exit
Spraying air freshener near a lit candle. (have had an ex do this before..)
I think her point (Or at least mine) is that you don't have to be intelligent necessarily, but you can't be stupid.

I mean this in the nicest way possible. I miss TL when the only girls around were lilsusie and neverGG. Things are getting silly. I guess sex sells.

On the topic of debating: maybe it's just me, but I generally find people who are on debate teams and love debating to be highly annoying, because all they want to do is argue about everything. Even when I tell them I don't want to, that only pushes them more to trick me into an argument because they know they're good at debating and I'm not, thus they can use me as a punching bag. I hate it when people do this, they just want to gratify themselves at my expense.
