(I'm assuming that was tongue in cheek.)

I have run into a phenomena which distresses me. I have known women who
are attractive and are very smart, act dumb because that is somehow
expected. That brains and looks don't mix, and they won't attract men if
they use their brains. I haven't seen it *often* but I have seen it.

I find intelligence more attractive than physical appearance anyway.
