I find the results so far, hard to believe. Women prefer to be considered intelligent???

Sexiness is what? Good-looking, playful and enough self-confidence to pull it off?

And as an intelligent woman, I possess those characteristics and am intelligent. So, if a man only sees me as sexy, he's missing the whole package (1-dimensional); whereas, if he sees me as intelligent, then he gets the whole package (3-dimensional).

Something like that anyway.

If I had to choose, I'd say sexy.

That stinks! Who says something like that?!?!

I guess I'm lucky - the men I meet tend to appreciate my intelligence. I voted for that quality because, to me, there can be no sexiness without intelligence.

Besides, Hal just asked about "men" - not specifically men that I am romantically interested in. Seeing as I work with men a lot (and some important high powered ones at times), I want men in general to think of me as intelligent rather than sexy.

It's not just men who say that, Jules.

We are covering old ground again but I think it's because everyone places physical attraction above intelligence. I think it's innate. That’s why I’m surprised by the results of this poll. When you browse online profiles you probably look at the photograph before bothering to read their description. I am tired of women who claim to be "witty" and "intelligent" yet have mind-numbingly boring profiles. They have good quality pictures of themselves though! I have never read a single profile of a woman who claims to be intelligent and is a member of mensa or any other high IQ society. I suppose having a University degree makes them think they are intelligent, or perhaps they can solve a Su Doku puzzle all on their own.

I said intelligence. Some days I think I'm sexy and some days I don't. But overall, I think my package (intelligence, sexiness, humor, etc) is pretty well rounded and good enough for the right man.

"or perhaps they can solve a Su Doku puzzle all on their own." oh see now I want to change my answer back to intelligent! :p My attention span for brain numbing tasks like a su doku is way too short! :p
