Without typing up a novel, read the side bar. If you're intellectually inclined you'll get what I mean.

If not, quit your trolling and get back to reality. Most people that say I'm smart usually aren't.

Be true to yourself kiddo. The rest follows.

Dude, being intellectually inclined in matters of philosophy, art and literature do not get you laid.

I was that guy and I never got laid. Its only when I started treating women like the little children they are, did I start getting women interested in me.

But, if you are really good looking, you would get women, whether you have an intellectual bent of mind or not. If you are not, you would need to maximize your looks in terms of the way you dress, your physique etc.

Being playful with women would get you laid much quickly than being serious with them. Discussing philosophy or art will definitely not help you in getting laid.

Smarter is the new hotter, as they say, since smarts bring in the bucks, and having money is one out of three for LMS. However, being smart is not the same as being a smartass. Social awareness plays a major role, here.

Play to your audience, is what i always do. I consider myself a pretty intellectual guy, and know about many things from many different fields. And what i usually do, is play into the interests of my intended audience. If i'm seeing a liberal arts major, guess what i'm going to talk about?

Do take care, however, to not overplay your hand, and talk out of your ass about stuff you don't know enough about. This is a major pitfall, where you start into a subject your audience actually knows more than you, and start to correct you on obvious things. In that case, it's best to state your interest on the subject (if you're actually interested), a bit of trivia, and listen to what the more knowledgeable side of the conversation has to say on the matter, while tying it back to something you have more knowledge about than the other side.

So, yeah, being smart = huge plus, however, don't be a smartass, and don't talk out of your ass.

If you find intellectual woman, it does. Just don't come off as a snob. Much different from being an alpha.

The intellectual types seem to thrive most when they can fuck a woman's mind as foreplay. I wouldn't underestimate the power an intellect could wield with TRP knowledge.

Girls will be interested that you are passionate about those things but not actually interested in the content of those things.

For example, "reading x philosophy blows my mind, really makes me feel y, appreciate z more, I sneak in reading it while at work even though I'm not allowed, etc" is better than "let's have a rational debate about rationalism vs empiricism". Unless she happens to be a philosophy major or something.

... intellectually inclined in matters of philosophy , art and literature ...

Worthless. Unless you are a full professor at a top-tier school; IOW, you make a good living.

The best way to put those credentials (I assume you have degree(s) in those subjects) to use is to use the basics as the liberal arts part of the required credits towards a STEM or business degree credits towards a job that actually pays well.
