A Perspicacious Mind!

I love it when a man can hold my attention for more than a couple of days. I’m a sucker for an intelligent mind especially one that makes me go WOW! Given that there are a lot of men out there who have seriously amazing conversational skills but there are very few who can keep up with my outlook. A lot of men keep boasting intelligence via their words which might not capture their intelligence well except maybe their literary skills. Such men end up either annoying me with the ‘know it all’ attitude as they try to charm by pretentiousness wrt the amount of knowledge they hold. A proclivity towards a mind that imprisons my curiosity and makes me want to converse further and divulge into the mind of another is always a great opportunity to expand my purview as well. With the amount of information that traverses these days it’s a really attractive trait if someone can help you grow. The allure towards a mind that captivates and sustains interest overwhelms me at times.

A lot of the times we don’t differentiate between a wise man and an intelligent man, they are almost synonymous during conversations. But what is reproduced out of experiences necessarily may not conclude to the intelligence of a person. No doubt I’d go with the wise because it leads to a more practical and a more refined approach to problem solving but hey, a mind that ignites desirous feelings has to account for something. An articulate man, who drives his point across in a manner that leaves you questioning yours and even encourages you to gravitate towards the other side of an argument is one genius. I’m the kind of a person who has an opinion about a lot of things and mostly stand for what I believe in. A lot of times I’ve been tagged domineering and I might just not sit well with others but what gives me confidence is the fact that eventually when I hold my stance for a cause, what happens or leads to the conclusion is what I was initially driving home.

When a person holds an opinion paired with accurate, logical and authentic information to back up the statement made by him which eventually leads to a definitive point with an astute clarity is brilliant. Having such dialogues establish a platform where exchange of ideas is not just a random exchange anymore but more of a parley between perspectives, experiences, and standpoints. An intelligent man learns how to process information that is provided to him, perceived by him and works towards understanding your point of view (right or wrong) and yet in the process helps supplement your cognizance. How can this NOT be attractive?
