I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass, just some dry humor. My statement was not ill-logical...I'm not saying you are effeminate because you want to avoid unsavory characters...I am saying you, as a man, if you follow your innate masculine tendencies, are predisposed to pursue that which attracts you physically first, then the mental, emotional, and spiritual factors would take consideration on a secondary level. What good is a woman to you if your penis doesn't get erect - are you to have her in your presence for intellectual discussions?

This should be secondary in your thoughts upon first meeting a woman.
To clarify further my previous post - you are (like all men) only going to pursue women that you are physically attracted to...so once you make this natural selection you will then and only then go to the next step and get to know them on a personal level. Here (your approach) is where you will 'qualify' them or you could get their phone number and go on a first date to qualify them. I usually determine if they fall within my parameters b4 I ask for their number, because I don't like wasting time or money.
If you don't want to meet psycho chicks/hors then avoid bars/clubs and other places of ill-repute...if you want to meet intelligent chicks go to universities (no guarantee though), libraries, and Mensa club meetings

. Also before you approach a girl look at her dress, her movements, her demeanor, her manner of speech - all these signs give clues to who she is as a person. How does she express herself with the words she uses, her interests, her job, what magazines/books she reads, or does she even read at all, her hobbies, does she belong to any clubs or associations (i.e. astronomy club) etc..Look for these things and ask these questions and you will know her character and intelligence in 10 minutes!!
