I find a woman with brains enormously attractive and not threatening in the least. A pretty face is nice, too, but having somebody to converse with and share thoughts for thirty or forty years is very appealing to me.

About This Quote

I find a woman with brains enormously attractive and not threatening in the least. A pretty face is nice, too, but having somebody to converse with and share thoughts for thirty or forty years is very appealing to me. I have found that a woman who can hold her own against me intellectually is an immensely attractive person. In fact, I’m not really attracted to women at all as a rule.

I tend to be attracted to dames who can hold their own against me intellectually. And I don’t mean just being able to talk intelligently about politics or art, but being able to discuss ideas and raise interesting topics on their own.
