mmm intelligence

at all

lets stir something up.....many say intelligence is a turn on...Adolf Hitler was intelligent ( He made a whole country folow him)...many mass murderers are extremely intelligent...
still attracted to intelligence?

Actually more charisma and political accumen crossed with ruthless ambition/w a good dose of Intelligence. Eva Braun was very attracted to him, one could say devoted since she not only married him on April 29, 1945 but suicided with him (reportedly) on April 30, 1945 .  

Most of our Politicians are intelligent (not all are equally so), few who are shy on intelligence points ever rise above street sweeper or minimum wage jobs. Intelligence is neither inherently good or bad, what you do with it decides that. But it sure helps to have someone behind the eyes to talk to once the sexual play is over.

Intelligence is always a virtue. However, knowledge of "current issues and world events" isn't necessarily a good measure of intelligence in general, or the type of intelligence that is sought. I imagine some Keepers may desire distance from these things in their servants for any number of understandable reasons, such as disassociation from outside influence.

We typically like to model intelligence in the form of ability to debate, but I find one's aptness to sit at the feet of another, look up, listen and zealously absorb equally as valid.

When one is trying to form a working team- with one as the servant........then the ability of the servant to fully comprehend the game plan and execute it is a sign of very high intelligence. The ability to be in compliance, in a thoughtful and useful manner is valuable in such a situation.

Indeed, one does not delegate important responsibilities to a "blow up doll".

Any more than one would delegate them to a fractious "debator" who was so busy arguing and being afflicted with tunnel vision.....that thier much vaunted "intelligence" became a disability to thier performance.

In short, such individuals are so busy proving thier "strength", that they become incompetent to in any way equate to the word.

Serving with dilligence and astounding ability does not equate to being a "doormat" in my eyes. It points to worthiness. I'd take the doormat over the asshat any day.

I always hope to maintain a balance about myself.  I want to use my mind with all the force it demands to be satisfied, but I do not want to ever seem to be condescending to others.  The ability to collaborate and contribute in a relationship are skills that are clearly underrated (just look at soaring divorce rates and at the ever shortening lengths of other unions).  I hope my posts are a help and give uesful fodder for a conversation to a thread and that this intention is always clear in my posts, or as much as a flawed individual can manage.

I despise the culture we live in. From early on, we are taught to compete, rather than to cooperate. It's no wonder that we have become destroyers of the earth, and of each other.

When we learn to cherish creation and creators, and to strive to leave places better when we leave them...........rather than use them and abuse them......we can do the same with our relationships. I don't want to compete with my friend. I want to become-more.

I have to agree with you Littlesui, though not all interests, etc have to be shared, contrast can be fun as well. Fortunately Master enjoys my intellectual skills, and vice versa. As for myself, if and when we find a sub to join us, we will definately be looking for someone who can contribute to household knowledge, intellectual debate and further learning. Afterall, while you can play for several hours, eventually you would like to have someone there behind the eyes to talk to.

My point is that if I run into the most caring, loyal, cheerful, and hardworking girl in the world I am not going to reject her just because she cannot recite the Pathagorean Theorum. Thats just silly.

Now I'm just a facetious academic but any girl who doesn't know year 8 mathematics isn't someone I'd be looking into as a perceivable partner.

Seriously, is it mathematics, or are you using that as an example of a base minimum of education? It's possible she may be far more intelligent than you in other areas...

I was going more for base level of education. While I concede someone lacking in math and science may have a vastly superior knowledge of humanities to me. I put it to you some one who can't comprehend something that simple could fathom Nietzsche? Or Descartes?  I should think not.
