My experience in life directly contradicts the notion that women prefer smarts over all else. Money, looks, and social status in reality have the higher priority with most women.

You said this much better than I was going to. I'll add that what most women look for is what will give them security or status. That may be financial, emotional, physical or some other type of security but it's what they're after more than someone who is "smart".

You speak the absolute truth. Brains are very far down the list of what most women want. Looks are all that matter, unless you have money or power, in which case they'll deign to give you a "second chance." But if you don't have any of those three things, look forward to a life growing old alone with your cats!

Well, I have said many times that intelligence in a man is one of my biggest turn ons. I don't have much use for an idiot in a pretty package, even if he has a lot of money.

That said, consider the women that choose the dumb men who may or may not be attractive or the one is who is just looking for money and security, which granted, is important to women. That is natural. I would suggest that it reflects on the intelligence of the woman. I mean, just look at some of these women. A lot of them came out of the shallow end of the gene pool themselves. An intelligent woman, on the other hand, is much more likely to see that an intelligent man will find a way to make her secure, whether it is immediately apparent or not and will also be able to make himself attractive to her because of who he is and NOT just because of what he looks like.

I agree, what most women look for is not "intelligence" but a sheer algorithm for survival and consumption in men. This algorithm may involve a form of computing abilities in the men they choose, but it certainly is not intelligence as we know it. As a matter of fact, luck is a big factor too in this.

You said it bro. I remember when I was in high school, even the stupidest male athletes had good-looking girlfriends. There were some very smart girls with jugheads jocks for boyfriends. Was I jealous? You'd better believe it, but I entered high school at a very young age, and couldn't compete physically with the bigger heavier guys. I'm happy with my soon-to-be wife now, but at the time I was miserable.

So, women look for security, and men look for boobs and butts.

Knock me over with a feather! Those women are crooks, I tell ya'!

But those men........why they're just acting like.....men!

I think that is true in many a womans earlier years but as they mature I think even intelligence, let alone money, looks and social status, fades in their prioroites in deference kindness and simple goodness. Not all women, mind you, but many.
