Smart GuyRomance is infinitely more satisfying when it stimulates body AND mind. But finding a brainy boy toy in a sea of dullards can be more daunting than organic chemistry.

We've pinpointed the precise geographic coordinates most favorable to meeting an intelligent male specimen.

In other words, we found the best spots to score your very own smarty-pants.

1. Mensa Testing Day

Why make things hard on yourself? Use a foolproof method for meeting a legitimate brainiac - head on over to a Mensa meeting. Sure, men claim to be geniuses all the time. But this is the only place where they actually have the test scores to prove it.

When only the best and brightest will do, let Mensa be your matchmaker. Sign up for the annual Mensa Testing Day on Saturday, October 17. While you can take the test anytime, this is a great event for mixing with smart-minded men. Even if you don't officially make it into Mensa, you might just make it with a Mensa man!

And Mensa meetings are definitely a man market. According to Catherine Barney, communications director for American Mensa, membership is roughly 65 percent male and 35 percent female. "It's very common for people to meet their spouses at a Mensa function," she says. What smart cookies!

I lived in San Francisco for quite some time and while I met many smart men they weren't interested in me because I am a girl. I know it sounds like a stereotype but there is a large number of gay men there and finding a date can be down right depressing. The only time that I've been single not of my own choosing was when I lived there. I love the city but good luck finding a smart, straight man there.

KiaC -- you should go outside of San Francisco to the guy meccas of the silicon valley suburbs -- you're so close to tons of smart guys dying for a woman!
