Eva Mendes says she "lacks brains".
'The Women' actress finds clever men a "turn on" and is attracted to them
because they are intelligent.
She said: "Brains are the most important thing to me, because I feel I lack
them. I want them from the man I am with. I love a well-read man - that is
such a turn on. I think it's because I am not as well-read as I'd like to
be."
The 34-year-old actress dislikes men who try too hard and prefers to date
those who are "goofy" and not so obsessed with their image.
She added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't like a guy who has
his game on and who knows exactly what to say. Some of the Cuban men in my
family are very, very attractive, but they are sometimes a little bit too
sleek.
"I try to coach my brothers and tell them, 'No, it's OK not to be too sleek.
Be a little goofy. You don't always have to be in control and say they right
thing."
