Alternative to Intellectual
My friend and I were talking last night and we were trying to come up with an alternative to the word "intellectual" to describe myself and what I'm looking for in a guy. Intellectual isn't quite accurate, because it conjures up images of, honestly, kind of a nerd. And while I do like very much to think and read and learn lots of stuff (and am admittedly kinda a nerd), I also can be fun and free-spirited and enjoy glitter. I'm thinking more along the lines of describing myself as someone with an inquisitive mind, but I'm not sure that's any better. Any suggestions?

Sweet and funky with a brain. :)
Kofer?
No?
Maybe I've been hanging around XGH's blog too much lately.
"Open minded"?
"Intellectually Curious"?
"Truth-Seeking"?
Just some off the top of my head.

Cute - can I quote you on that one?

I hope I'm not a kofer - just someone who likes to think for herself and ask questions. Open-minded is kind of a different thing altogether (though not something I exclude myself from being). I like intellectually curious (but I'm not sure it conjures up different images than intellectual) and truth-seeking I like as well. Thanks!
I hope I'm not a kofer.
Me too (!)

Sorry, can't get this song out of my head.

I'm not sure. I think this is too much of an intellectual question for me. :).
as one of my friends put it: "he's gotta have smarts."
intelligent is a good word too.
Shoshana - Sure. :)
(If this shows up twice, delete one....)
One of the profile forms on an online dating site asked , "What are you looking for?"
My response: "An intricate mind."

The probably with intelligent is no one is going to say that they aren't, and that there are plenty of intelligent people who aren't knowledge seekers or thinker.
