Genius types

Ok so (again). I can't sleep. I mentioned this right. Talking of men, extreme intelligence has always been a huge turn on. There is street smartness, which is attractive in its own way, then there is genius type intelligence which is attractive in its own way. I realise the latter for me is the big hook and the former is the reason why any of my relationships would have continued.

So there was professor type gentleman who sat next to me in the waiting lounge yesterday. Genius type intelligence dripping away even when he was just hovering about. SO he found a seat next to me and there was a random guy... ok, so I must describe him too... a person who had just cleared his IAS exams and already thought he was the Prime Minister – so he decided to engage Genius type into conversation.

What was interesting was that, the conversation started out with 'Oh how clever I am to clear the IAS, do you want to be friends with me'. Slowly, Genius type worked his way through and towards the end, made IAS guy feel like the scum of the earth. I felt pleased, my attraction for the Genius type quadrupling over... a) he was super intelligent (a mathematics professor), b) he turned the tables around, c) turning the tables took 25 minutes... he went on at it patiently, not letting go even once, d) he had the most sexy voice.

SO I fantasized about him for a bit. Then the plane took off, and I slept. When the plane landed and we got off, I felt he looked like a psychopath. I pulled my suitcases and walked off.

But then, Professor saab... if you ever come to this blog... one truly appreciates your patience in dealing with nincompoop, idiotic future IAS officer. If I were in your place, I would have slapped him into silence the moment he opened his mouth.
