It depends on what type of "smart" a person is. Are we talking about information retention or intellectual curiosity? Are we talking about someone who can hold a highly theoretical discussion or someone who can take just about any broken whatsis and fix it? Book smarts or a solid, practical understanding of human behavior? Someone who can organize or someone who can daydream? There are lots of different ways to be intelligent.

That's part of the equation. The other parts are personality and world-view. A stellar IQ and razor wit are of little advantage to a bitter, angry asshole.

So I guess my answer to the question is: sometimes.

For me, a certain level of intelligence is a necessity for attraction. It doesn't matter if someone got average 10 on HotOrNot, if she's got marbles for brain matter I won't find her attractive at all.

I would happily fuck a girl who was cute but brainless, and in fact nailed several such girls before I settled down and don't regret a minute of the awesome sex.

But when I found a girl who's intelligent AND beautiful? Well, there's a word for girls like that. Wife. (the fact that she wants sex as much as most 13-year-old boys do doesn't hurt!)

TBH if a girl is smart (So we can have decent convos with each other) I wouldn't mind going out with her. Just not if she is Well more smarter then me.

I don't think smart women (or men) are intrinsically more physically attractive than stupid ones. However, I think by and large they have a much better idea of how to make themselves look good.

id rather go out with a decent looking person that has the geeky glasses and codes in c, c++, java and python over a gorgeous girl that cant code!

Most really smart people are fuck-ugly. Some are what I like to call clones in that they're extremely smart and good-looking (They're also normally sporting superstars, have all the luck and are popular...smarmy cunts *Luckily, I've found that they're normally extremely unhappy or dead inside*). People who are extremely pretty normally from a majority point of view are normally not very bright. What i look for is a girl who isn't a genius but certainly isn't dumb (I've had alot of experience and trust me...people who devote their whole life to academic achievement lead very bad social lives) and isn't ugly or like I said beautiful from a majority point of view. To me, things like freckles, not exactly perfect skin and a casual dress sense (In that they're not wearing lavish gowns or expensive clothes with heaps of makeup) is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Brains over brawn every single time. There just something really attractive about the fact they are smart and you can have a really good conversation rather than just grunts which my sisters ex was like.

Contrary though, stupid people ruin good looks every time.
Well put by both of you.

I was madly in love with this drop dead gorgeous model who used to come to the bar that I worked at all the time. One night I got word that she really dug me as well, but was too intimidated to talk to me. So I decided to break the ice by telling her that she was a raven-haired goddess, and I would be remiss if I didn't remind her of that from time to time.

The blank stare I got in response was pretty much the biggest turn-off I can remember. It all pretty well fell apart after that.

Stupid > Pretty in most cases.

Without trying to sound like a narcissistic dickwad, I kind of got lucky in the looks and brains department...

So why the hell am I still single? (Looks at PS3 and PC game boxes everywhere)

Oh yeah, right.
