A recent finding by the Official Journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society found that women find the brainy guy more attractive than the dumb jock.
The article says that women are surprisingly good judges of men’s intelligence and that, contrary to past studies; women prefer intelligence over attractiveness, even when they’re not looking for anything more than a one night stand.
In the study, 15 college men were filmed answering questions about news reports, what makes them a good date, and what would it mean if life were found on Mars. Men were also filmed playing Frisbee and other physical activities. More than 200 women were then asked to watch the videos and judge the men on four levels: attractiveness, intelligence, creativity, and appeal for relationships.
Reality? In the end if you had to pick from 5 men, you would probably pick the most attractive one – but it’s nice to know that the man with the pocket protector and the copy of War and Peace in his hand won’t necessarily be at a disadvantage to the attractive blonde.

This is so true. Its not my looks that got my wife to look at me.
Ha ha! I love this and I totally agree! Not only are intelligent men more attractive, they make better husbands and are ready and able to provide for a family. I know I feel even more attracted to my husband when he is spouting out intelligent things he learned at school too! I'm not sure why that is, but it is so true and apparently this article confirms it!
Time to break out the thick-rimmed glasses...
