Do Men Actually Prefer Beauty With Brain?

By Tara Hari

It is a question that has mystified people for long time. Do men prefer only dumb bimbos who do not have two thoughts to rub together inside their brains? Or do they actually prefer a woman who has a mind and opinions of her own?

Women typically prefer men who are intelligent and smart. They do not give much weighting to a man's appearance if he is rich, clever and successful. Men, on the other hand, always pay more attention to a woman's physical features. Here are a few reasons why men should prefer beauty with brains.

Do Men Actually Prefer Beauty With Brain?

Own Opinions
Dating a smart woman means you are dating somebody who knows what she wants in life and how to get it. She's driven and successful, and has her own opinion about everything. Dating a dumb woman would become insanely tedious after a while as it is a well-known fact that dumb women are boring. Most guys find it distasteful to date a girl who has no opinions of her own and merely mirrors their date's opinions.

Conversationalist
Smart girls are always excellent conversationalists and you never have a dull moment with them. They never run out of interesting things to talk about or amusing anecdotes to relate. If your area of work is complicated, they will be able to understand its intricacies and question you about the various details of your work life.

Impress Friends
Dazzle your friends with your girlfriend who can hold her own while debating about the economic policies, current political climate or newly released books. Having a hot girlfriend will only impress your friends temporarily, but having a brainy girlfriend will leave them seething with jealously since you have the whole package.

Connection
Physical appearance is not enough to sustain the attraction between two people. The magnetism you feel will be temporary and fleeting. But you will connect with a brainy girl on all levels. You will be physically, intellectually and emotionally compatible. You will be able to communicate and unburden the problems you face every day to a partner who is sympathetic and understanding.

Sense of Humour
Men value women who can laugh at their jokes, and in turn make them laugh. A woman with a sense of humour is considered to be God's gift to every man. Imagine dating a bimbo who stares at you blankly every time you crack a joke. If your girlfriend has a sense of humour, you will be ensured that every trip, outing or date you go to will be lively, entertaining and filled with laughter.

These are the reasons why men should value and be turned on by female intelligence. Beauty without brains should be a definite deal breaker for any sane guy.
