I think that view comes from the stereotypical assumption that intelligent women are likely to be less attractive than average. It’s not accurate at all. The idea probably comes from intelligence being the primary thing that stands out for some. During the summer between 8th and 9th grades, I went to an advanced studies program at a local college. The girls there had the same distribution of attractiveness as the morons at my public schools. If I looked at the extremities, the least attractive were roughly the same as anywhere else, but a couple of the most attractive were insanely beyond what I had at school. It was just a random stroke of luck. I visited the following year and the distribution was normal.
