Men value intelligence in women far above large breasts and long legs, a Cambridge evolutionary biologist has claimed.

Although having a large bust and never-ending pins are deemed by western culture as the epitome of femininity, when choosing a mother for their children, men look for brains first,

Professor David Bainbridge, of the University of Cambridge said that intelligence is by far the most attractive quality for men looking for a long term partner because it demonstrates that his chosen partner is likely to be a responsible parent.

I can assure you, the last thing I am looking for is intelligence.

Looks are the bait that attracts the male fish.

The personality is the hook that makes his want to stay.

I found out I’m an ass man.

I was staring at this girl’s boobs and she told me “You’re an ass, man!”

So. I’m guessing he’s never had that pounding urge coupled with a pair of beer goggles.

I can see that.

Cute and dumb doesn’t go far with me. Cute will only go so far. I cannot stand an airhead.

This explains why there are so many old, unmarried, angry feminists.

They don't have the intelligence that a man is looking for.

Or the looks...

Damn....you beat me to it! That was the picture in my mind’s eye.....

Most of the ad and media industry relies on pictures. Intelligence is demonstrated not viewed. A female shape will catch a mans eye. But most men are smart enough to find a women they can spend time with. “Girl next door”, “Girl you’d marry”, “girl you would bring home to mother”. These sayings have been around a long time. Clearly men have always been looking for something more than boobs even if the ad and media industries aren’t.
