Intellidating, a blend of intelligent and dating, refers to dating that emphasizes intelligence, particularly by attending lectures, readings, or other cultural events。
Call it the courtship equivalent to the slow-food movement. Call it a backlash against point and click matchmaking. Whichever, intellidating — an unhurried, decidedly highbrow approach to mating — is catching on in big cities around the world。
Intellidating is also a boon for the shy. In contrast to speed-dating, which demands rigidly timed discussions about pretty much whatever pops to mind, events such as lectures and viewings offer built-in conversational pegs。
