From a conversation I had late last night...

...You're right. Intelligence is just one of many factors that define someone. One could argue that there are an infinite number of ways to analyze or measure a person. If I found the right person; caring, compassionate, loving... Those would be more important than intelligence or beauty. Beauty is just a conversation starter. The appreciation of it is hard-wired. It's gotten me in trouble before, and I dare say it will again. Intelligence can take those conversations that beauty starts, and make them more interesting. Care, compassion, and love... they make the conversations worth it.
