Men are very much physical drawers, they are easily pulled by what they seen while women are naturally emotional beings. Therefore, beauty counts a lot for men even if other attributes of a woman ought to scare them off,
A new research has found that men are not attracted to intelligent women unless they are good looking.
This mean, an intelligent woman who is not good looking wouldn’t get men chasing after her—but if she is beautiful, that will pull the men and her intelligence would be a positive thing to these men.
The study by Warsaw School of Economics found that men are actively turned-off by cleverness, and the only exception to this is if the woman is highly attractive.
To come to this conclusion, researchers according to UK’s Independent studied;

4,000 speed dates where 560 people, all from New York’s Columbia University, were given four minutes to get to know their date.
Afterwards the volunteers were asked to rate each other based on intelligence and attractiveness.
After analysing the results, researchers found that women were impressed by men who were either good-looking or intelligent.
But they discovered men placed more emphasis on physical appearance.

Commenting on the study, relationships expert Pauline Brown told the New Zealand Herald: “This study fits in with what I’m observing and hearing: clever women – graduates – who feel they have to dumb themselves down and hide their brains to be attractive to men.”
The study which was published in the Personality and Individual Differences journal said: “Even those men who are not perceived by women as physically attractive may receive positive speed-dating decisions, if only those men seem intelligent. Males demonstrate a clearly different approach to mate selection.”
“In men’s perception, for relatively high values of women’s perceived intelligence, this personal trait turns out to be an economic bad,” it added.
