A beautiful woman captivates your attention and you can't get her out of your mind.  You talk with her a bit, get to know her friends, check out her Facebook page, but the more you find out, the more you feel uncomfortable and out of your league.  She reads The Economist, The New York Times, and The New Yorker; her favorite books are Lolita, Pride and Prejudice, and Tristram Shandy; and her favorite movies are Lost in Translation and some French movie.

My friend, you have fallen in love with an INTELLECTUAL.  And you have NO IDEA how to talk with her, get her to love you back, or have sex with her!

Being an major intellectual, player, and matchmaker myself, I will give you some of my insights into how to get with the woman of your dreams while educating yourself in the process.  You can use my tips regardless of whether you're an intellectual or not as long as she is, because one of the BIGGEST SECRETS about attraction is that women desire smart men.  Brains are sexy and if you're not showing off your intelligence, then you might not be getting as many women as you could!

Intellectual women are one of two types: the Poet or the Pundit.  Depending on what kind of smartie she is, you'll have to prepare your attack in one of two different ways:

1.    She's a Poet: Throw away the romance novel, this woman gets off on poems and high literature.  Do a little bit of reading or, if you're an avid reader yourself, pick one of your favorite authors and mention it to the girl you want to get with.  Try to pick someone within the same era as the girl's interest: if she likes modernists, go with e.e. cummings or William Carlos Williams; if she's into the romantics, take Coleridge or Blake.  Whomever you choose, make sure you can understand the poet or author, because when she starts asking questions you had better be able to answer them without sounding like a fool.  Read a few articles in cultural magazines, especially one of the big three: The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, and Harper's.

2.    She's a Pundit: Forget about poems and literature, this woman is a news fiend and stays up to date on economics and politics from around the world.  Learn the names of the presidents and prime ministers of Western European countries as well as their capitals and follow the news from a non-American news website (such as news.bbc.co.uk) very closely for about a week.  Read a few articles in news commentary magazines and websites as well as the opinion section of major newspapers, some more important ones being The New York Times, The New Republic, Foreign Policy, and Salon.com.

Once you've done your homework, you're going to want to establish relationship where you eventually start exchanging sentimental passages from books and poems and, if you're daring, your own poems and stories.

3.    If your woman is a Poet, then this is easy.  Say you're both college students in the same class together, in which case an excellent way is to mention the similarities between what you're studying and one of the works you read.  Expand the conversation to talk about your favorite authors and works in general.  Try and focus around a central theme, preferably one that will get you closer to her, such as "friendship", "love", or "loneliness" for the poet.  Once you part ways, that night send a relevant quote, page, or poem from one of the authors you talked about via e-mail, or better yet, wait until the next day and give her a printed copy.  If you have good handwriting, you might consider writing out a poem by hand and saying that you put it down from memory (but used folded up lined paper, not blank or fancy paper, you don't want her thinking you're cheesy or too into her).  Continue this exchange until you are eventually sending each other what borders on love letters, and you'll have her.  Start low-key, but make the ways you deliver them increasingly creative: custom envelopes, silly drawings, etc.

4.  If your woman is a Pundit, don't despair!  Politics can be very sexy, too, and the idea here is to get into heated debates and discussions about issues in the news.  They don't have to be disagreements--you can just make fun of some ridiculous politician or a country's failed policy's, and you will be surprised at how much sexual tension there can be when you both laugh together.  The sexiest topics tend to be foreign affairs, so make sure to verse yourself in those especially: Russia and China are always hot topics.  Avoid the Middle East unless you really know what you're talking about, because as important as it is right now, few actually know enough to sustain a conversation.  Even if you know a lot about a particular topic, you want to avoid giving a lecture, because intellectual women love to talk about their own opinions on these subjects.  If you listen, they will come.  Once you've gotten close to a Pundit in this way, you can begin to go down the path of the Poet by bringing up some of your favorite authors and poets, and she will certainly reciprocate, since every woman has favorite writers regardless of whether she is a Poet or a Pundit.

5. Once she gets very close, ask her on a date, or if you're feeling adventurous, proposition her for sex.

Depending on how intellectual you are yourself, the preparation stage could take anywhere from a minute of talking to her to a week of doing your own reading.  The courtship stage should only take a week, and I've used this method several times to get girls within a few days of meeting them.  I promise that it can work for you, too!
