Because 90% of women's intelligence is inversely proportional to their attractiveness. It's a fact. Unfortunately, half of what's left (5% for you math whizzes out there, which are mostly men) are ugly AND stupid. It's the 5%, "cream of the crop"-type that you have to look for.
There's a girl here at work who works in IT that's VERY attractive. The best part is, I swear to god, her name I Jennifer Lopez. I hope that mentioning her name doesn't somehow come back to haunt me, but that's too cool of a detail to leave out.
EDIT: Oh, and to be fair, since many women's #1 goal in life is security (and finding a partner that's successful), and many men have this ridiculous idea that stupid women are hot, many otherwise intelligent women literally FORCE themselves to be stupid so that more guys will find them attractive. I've seen it first-hand. This girl was extremely intelligent but would act like an idiot if she was around guys that she thought she had a chance with. She actually once told me (when a friend of mine was over that she liked) that I should upgrade my video card in the following manner: "You should just upgrade your video blaster to get more bits."
