COMMON SENSE
After a series of introspection and skin deep examination as to what most of us would be with, (TURNS ON AND OFF), I would like to go back to one item I am so inclined to fall into.COMMON SENSE.
Here is the question: Would you rather be with someone who is intelligent but lacking common sense? Or the one with average intelligence and full of common sense?
Why?
Or have you met one with both? And? Or are you still searching and hope to find him/her? Given up?
Thanks for all your contribution.
NOTE: DEFINITION ON BOTH IS ON WIKIPEDIA OR ANY DICTIONARY..But can be individualized by your own. Also this attribute is just an addition to the many factors you'd wish to find with whom you are looking for..
Thank you so much for all your opinions and contributions.

Great blog as usual!
As for my preference, I generally tend to go for men more intelligent than I. I like to be challenged, and to constantly learn.
That said, they can't be totally lacking in common sense either. That would never work.
But because I have common sense in abundance (at times!), I usually have enough for both of us.
And if not, I have great friends who make up the shortfall and put me back on track!
Now Molly thanks for the share. For me, I attract always the most erudite ones. Not that I am seeking them per se, but I believe we do tend to swim in the fish of our kind. But he must...MUST, have a lot of common sense..
I so like your way of saying,,,You have quite for the both of you.
Good luck my dear Molly and let me know...
Heto ako nag mumukmok...yong manliligaw ko dito nag aasaran kami dahil sa mga comments ko sa blogs, hindi niya gusto, may pagkalandi raw ako. Marami akong manliligaw pero may isa sana akong gusto, hirap naman yata intindihin, parang seloso, hindi pa naman kami nagkita, plano nya pumunta dito, ewan kong totoo, maingat din ako Manang...di pa yata ako ready mag commit ulit.
Naghiwalay kami asawa ko 3 years ago, almost 10 years kami. Nagka relasyon din ako pagkatapos sa isang matigas ulo rin dahil sundalo, almost 3 taon...nag sawa ako sa ugali kaya inayawan ko na, pero hindi pa niya tanggap, wala pa kaming closure.
Nag join ako dito para palipas oras at maglibang, gusto ko lang maka move on pero hindi naman maiwasan maka pag meet ng manliligaw dito. Flattering nga sakit naman sa ulo.
I-reto mo na lang ako kung may kakilala da diyan, he he.
Good topic...but I simply cannot decide what is better...although lacking common sense would be annoying...it depends on my mood!!...
Working today...and tomorrow...but it is nice out and enjoyed the sunshine!! Hope all is well with you!!
Take care my friend.
In my mind, 'Common Sense' varies according to the person's cultural background and the beliefs being imposed on. I've often been misunderstood as having NO COMMON SENSE at all in Japan. I wasn't born or brought up here in the first place. I've come to know that Common Sense in Japan is NOT Common Sense outside Japan.
I've noticed that in the US, children were brought up to have individuality, confidence in themselves, using words to express themselves etc.
In Japan, children were brought up to emphasize on teamwork, prioritize on relationship, peace & harmony with each other is of utmost importance, loyalty & long-term commitment to ONE company etc.
It may be a Common Sense in the US to fire anyone who is incompetent and unable to produce results.
In Japan, this viewpoint is very different due to the culture of lifetime employment policy. (note: globalization may be changing this traditional mindset in the future... )
So... what is Common Sense...exactly?
For me, it would be 'Wisdom' and not 'Common Sense' that Turns Me ON! Lol

I have never thought of that difference my dear Angeline.
I know somehow our cultural diversity and individual mores and values would definitely define who we are and also our sense of what is common and or wisdom and or principles, but I have never thought of this extreme.
A very great eye opener you have contributed my dear friend..
Thanks so much for taking the time to digest all my blogs and contribute your valued opinion..
For my learning is so filled and sated with all the different responses based on our individual cultures and beliefs.
Thanks Angeline.
Your friend,
