Forget boobs and long legs: what men really look for in women
Telegraph (UK) ^

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 found out my wife was not a dumb blonde until it was too late.

I can’t believe all this. Everyone knows that all teen aged boys are searching for true inner beauty.

If by intelligence, you mean common sense .....
Feminists get to define ‘intelligence’ by the harpies themselves represent.

Chick on the left would seduce you, then destroy you.
Chick in the middle hates everything, especially men.
Chick on the right would make a fine wife.

Well we all have our various attractions. Mine are full breasts, full lips, fairly long legs, medium or slightly chunky frame, smart with money and fairly conservative. Oh and no atheists or agnostics but a lover of God in some capacity. Am I too picky?

Of course a man will never write 'women don't want smart men, bronzed hunks with satisfying members. No, women want a man that does the dishes.'
How about we let the men decide what a women should be to satisfy their needs and let the women decide what a man should be....I am sick of this feminist crap.

If I switched to looking for an anti-gun liberal woman who wanted more government for every problem, I would be inundated with women.

The most important quality in a mate is: SANITY. Everything else pails in comparison.
Suppose you start dating a girl who is a “10”. However, if she is mentally unstable, after a while she will seem very unappealing, even unattractive. Likewise “ugly” girls with good personalities can become more attractive over time.
While intelligence IS correlated with sanity, one is no guarantee of the other.

That is very true. No matter how good looking a girl is, if can’t compensate for a bad personality. Also, looks eventually fade, but personality persists.

The attributes discussed aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
