Blackteeth: Let me put it this way, If I am asked to choose between the ugliest woman in the world with super intelligence and a dumb extremely sexy beautiful woman, O boy, I go manage the dumb beautiful woman oh. Ugliness turns me off big time.

Debra851: I am a woman with a Ph.D. from a top American university. People describe me as friendly but men do not look at me or ask me for dates unless I am wearing makeup. Without makeup I am plain looking. Only when I am dressed up and wearing makeup do men approach me for a date! I am still single because most of the time I look plain. Too bad men don't want a smart woman. So can I say that men prefer beauty to intelligence?

ndobobo: ps how do u post post a quote with the light green background....jjc thanks in advance

It depends on the kind of guys you deal with actually...

and sometimes wht you wear ... maxi gown of hot skirts...
the eyes have to eat first to make the mind and soul salivate and force the mouth to talk and the hands to make a move

Pennywise: We guys just want to get laid

Guys like me just want to get laid

So, I will say looks or beauty comes first. Those looking for a high IQ will not see it written on foreheads. They have to be be interested enough to want to mingle. Whether he stays after the act depends on her personality which is a function of intelligence by the way.

Mynd_44:
Most men don't also think straight. Someone once said it has to do with a weak heart. Once the heart is weak, it pumps blood downwards instead of upwards

spongeback: I have noticed this too the days I am properly packaged( with fake hair and things) I get more admirers but when I am less packaged not even a bus-conductor will say hi.

Pennywise: Intelligence can make an average looking girl appear very beautiful. A beautiful girl without intelligence is the ultimate bore and a relationship killer. But lets not forget that real intelligence has no absolutes. It is relative to that of the guy trying to make up his mind. [b]
It is doubtful that a typical guy would go out looking to connect with a girl bc she has a great mind. Only girls do that kind of thing. We guys just want to get laid and that includes all the hypocrites.

pleep: One thing we have to remember here is that...the OP is not really talking about "intelligence" She is talking about a PHD. The two are not the same...

A PHD primarily means earning potential... and that is not something men care about when looking for a woman.

cold: There's a saying that 'women would rather have beauty than brains,because most men see better than they think'. Fact is,if you have the intelligence of Einstein & the looks of an ogre, you're at a serious disadvantage because nobody wants to identify with an atutupoyoyo. Nothing like beauty with brains,perfect combo!
