智慧相亲

 智慧相亲

intellidating

Intellidating, a blend of intelligent and dating,refers to dating that emphasizes intelligence, particularly by attending lectures, readings, or other cultural events.

Intellidating，是intelligent（智慧）和dating（相亲、约会）两词的合成词，指一起听讲座、去读书会或其它文化活动，强调才华和智慧层面的约会相亲，我们称之为“智慧相亲”。

Call it the courtship equivalent to the slow-food movement. Call it a backlash against point and click match making. Whichever,intellidating — an unhurried, decidedly highbrow approach to mating — iscatching on in big cities around the world.

 

Intellidating is also a boon¹ for the shy. In contrast to speed-dating, which demands rigidly² timed discussions about pretty much whatever pops to mind, events such as lectures and viewings offer built-inconversational pegs³.
