ORIGINAL: littlewonder Here's the thing. Those Doms/Dommes who want a RELATIONSHIP want someone who is intelligent. Those Doms/Dommes just looking to get laid and nothing else at all don't want someone intelligent. The dumber the better. That's always been my experience at least and no not just bdsm wise but people in general. It's always been this way and always will. Pretty much this with a caveat: Very few people will admit to wanting a stupid partner. More or less everyone will say they want someone intelligent. It wouldn't reflect so well on them if they said they like a person without a brain. It might suggest that they are looking for just an easy lay, or that they can't hold a conversation with a smart person, or they want someone they can manipulate and feel superior to. Also, like sense of humour, intelligence is somewhat subjective. Other than the really exceptional people on either end of the scale, most people will be smart in one respect and not in another. My mother is fantastic with technology and numbers, but she frequently muddles up her words when speaking which might make people think she's stupid. My dad is a businessman and very verbally articulate but dyslexic, so if you only saw his writing you might think otherwise. I've met people who seem very worldly-wise and then parrot back whatever biased crap they read in the tabloids this morning. So if you're rating people via IQ, some of us here must have partners at the lower end of the scale, but that doesn't mean they aren't intelligent in a different way. Perhaps I will undermine my previous point with this - when an intelligent person says 'intelligent' they are meaning someone who will challenge them intellectually, hold a debate, and be open to new learning. When a less intelligent person says it, they generally mean 'someone who thinks like me'. I've certainly met people who will call anyone who disagrees with them stupid, even when they can't defend their own side of the argument. It's just another way of looking at compatibility.
