Haha, I am curious as to your definition of 'knock-me-on-my-ass intelligent'.
I have learned over the years that intelligence comes in many forms, these days I tend to appreciate emotional intelligence above all.

I know that the interest is primarily of sex. Mine is too, honestly. But I want a man who can seduce, approach, whatever, well. Prove to me that he has the experience to do so, has the innate talent, has the social skill. Whatever. I think most girls do too, whether they consciously realize it or not.

Though to be fair, I used to be friends with someone who was smooth as silk with the ladies and would use such an approach, the issue I had with him in the end is as successful as he was with women, it was all cold calculated tactics with him, he didn't
really give a shit about the women was seeing. But his narcissism was brick in the face obvious, I can't say many of the ladies gave a crap about him in the end.
But I digress

Amen to that. It sucks that you've had to endure some of the things you have to gain that attitude though.
I guess the thing I've found with getting older is you just get better at working out what is most important to you and what you can honestly be fucked putting your energy into and dealing with.
