Man and woman chatting on phone about date

We did.Sand heart

It's not every day that you meet people who encourage you to think deeply. You work so hard. You're running so fast. There is so much to do. And yet, you have more to offer. But who is worth it?

Your friends and family, of course. But, no matter how wonderful they are, they aren't enough. You want a significant other who not only appreciates what you offer, but provides more in return. You want fun, yes. You want laughter, certainly. But you also want to be challenged; to increase your self-worth. And to reap the sensations, pleasures, and rewards that you rightfully deserve.

There are many successful dating sites. Braincrave.com is more than just another dating site. It is a new community of men and women who seek beauty and stimulation through their minds. We find ideas, education, and self-improvement sexy. We think intelligence is hot.

But Braincrave.com is more than brains and I.Q. alone. We are curious. We have common sense. We value and offer wisdom. We experiment. We have great imaginations. We devour literacy. We are intellectually honest. We support and encourage each other to be better.

We all admire beauty, but the mind is what ultimately must be stimulated for maximum arousal. Longevity in relationships cannot occur without a meeting of the minds. And that is what Braincrave is: a dating venue where minds meet.

Sadly, the one characteristic all dating sites have in common is that what people write in their profiles is typically very superficial, repetitive, and cliché. Sure, answering the basic questions gives you some level of understanding about what they are like. But what about the deep, philosophical aspects of a person's personality and character? Where are the questions that demonstrate the capabilities of the intellect? How do you discern a person's honor by commonplace and cliché answers to basic (and sometimes boring) questions? Does true intimacy really stem from answers regarding your favorite color, the shapes of lines on your hands, or being able to go from jeans to a dress/suit on a moment's notice? Where are the intellectual hedonists?

It's true - many people don't like to write about themselves; and many more aren't very good at describing themselves in words. That's where Braincrave strives to be different. Though we will have the more general questions that most are used to, we intend to ask your thoughts on deeper topics... topics that spawn your own insights and those of your potential matches around the way you think, the choices you make, and the actions you take.

For our annual Gold and Platinum members, we offer you an exclusive service that provides personalized suggestions for improving your profile to feed the minds of your potential matches. Sure, improving your profile will result in a larger volume of connections. However, and more importantly, improved profiles result in higher quality discussions as you get to know each other. And is there really anything sexier than the stimulation you get from conversations that are deep in thought?

We also offer opportunities to earn free Gold status for writing articles. When users view your article, they will have an opportunity to "sanction" it. Every time your article is sanctioned, it will earn sanction points. Earn enough sanctions and we will reward you with additional months of free Gold membership in appreciation of your effort.

At Braincrave, we have a dream to bring like-minded people together - people who love to think... people who care about the philosophical tenets of those thoughts. In our effort to help you find kindred spirits, we intend to continue adding probing and thought-provoking questions to your profiles. Your answers will help potential suitors know who you are at a deeper level and what you stand for. Your answers will arouse their senses.

So come join us and raise your sights. We will help you demonstrate your character and what you have to offer. The rest is up to you...

...and your imagination.

You might be lonely but you aren't alone.

Sep, 2017 update: Although Braincrave resulted in two confirmed marriages, the venture didn't meet financial targets. Rather than updating our outdated code base, we've removed all previous dating profiles and retained the articles that continue to generate interest. Moving to valME.io's platform supports dating profiles (which you are welcome to post) but won't allow typical date-matching functionality (e.g., location proximity, attribute similarity).

The Braincrave.com discussion group on Second Life was a twice-daily intellectual group discussions typically held at 12:00 PM SLT (PST) and 7:00 PM SLT. The discussions took place in Second Life group chat but are no longer formally scheduled or managed. The daily articles were used to encourage the discussions.
