Ah, the first date. Men seem to go to a first date with a mattress strapped to their backs. But I don't move a relationship to a first date often, so this is a real treat for me. An opportunity for face-to-face flirting that will increase my alertness and well-being. An opportunity for a second date. A graduation from chat and e-mail. The next level of intimacy. A chance to learn more about her... and more about myself. My first impression has already been made.
Maybe that's why I'm still single?
But this is no time for slacking. I must surpass myself. Above all, I must be a gentleman. (oooooo... I hope she wears a dress and heels! I love the way heels accentuate the curves of a woman's legs!) But, as you will see, I have a problem:
-----
Victoria's Secret salesgirl to couple: Our bras are 15% off today.
Male: I prefer it when your bras are 100% off.
Victoria's Secret salesgirl (with a blank look on her face): That wouldn't make sense. Then they would be free.
-----
Women want to laugh. Women want funny. I'm not funny. I'm not creative. I need training. No, not Bash kind of training. Something more respectable. Something...
British.
Maybe that's why I'm still single? Hmmmmm... Hello? 1-800-mattress? I'd like to cancel my order...

We all admire beauty, but the mind 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. Learn about the thoughts of your potential match on deeper topics... topics that spawn your own insights around what you think, the choices you make, and the actions you take.
We are a community of men and women who seek beauty and stimulation through our minds. We find ideas, education, and self-improvement sexy. We think intelligence is hot. But Braincrave 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.
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 Rather than updating our outdated code base, we've removed all previous dating profiles and retained the articles that continue to generate interest.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.
