Dumbing it Down...?

I know for a fact that unintelligent men make me run in the opposite direction.  He doesn't have to be a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist but he must be at least able to carry on a conversation.  I know that text messaging is all the rage right now but if you are going to text me and you use the words, 'to, too, two, you're, your, there, their & they're' incorrectly, you will throw me into a major fit of rage!  (This goes for my female friends too!)  If you can get those words straight, you've won my heart forever!  ;)

I am proud to say I run with a very intelligent and socially savvy group of women who are beautiful inside and out.  A guy friend recently told me that approaching a group of women like that can be terrifying.  I get that, I would feel intimidated if the roles were reversed. 

But what about beyond the group?  Let me paint two pictures for you, tell me what you would do... 

First scenario, you strike up a conversation with a visually attractive/hot woman in a coffee shop... In a few short minutes, you find out she has successful career (maybe more successful than you), she's a bright, well-spoken and witty intellectual.  Do you run or do you ask her out? 

Ok, second scenario, same coffee shop, same visually attractive/hot woman... Within minutes you find out she's unaccomplished, dim-witted, inarticulate with very little to contribute to the conversation.  Do you run or do you ask her out?  Remember... she's hot...

What's the verdict?  Should I try both scenarios this weekend and see which of the two personalities gets the call?

  1. Myself, I'd ask out the intelligent woman and walk away from the dimwit. I imagine that decision is a reflection of the headspace the man is in. I'd say if you're confident and know what you want out of life the intelligent woman would fit the bill.
    For those insecure wanna-be player type men airheads are usually the target. It's funny how a lot of men have picky taste in women, yet when they see one they like, they're intimidated. I feel sorry for you girls :) We're not all cowards keep on looking lol.

  2. Situation the first: I ask for her number and send her a cogent, if not charmingly rambling text message trying to wrangle a drink date (if one hasn't already been set up).

    Hypothetical the B): I ask for her number and send her a cogent, if not charmingly rambling text message trying to wrangle a drink date (if one hasn't already been set up).

    Afterall, you never know when an intelligent chick is engaged in some kind of character-driven ruse ;)

    The question, though, isn't which girl I'd ask out; the question is, which girl am I more excited to see? The answer is the former, because a classy broad is always more intriguing then a dimwitted little lady.
