Your IQ score is the highest you have scored on an IQ test, not the sum of all the scores of all IQ tests you have given so far.

Because, they don't have to be smart so why bother? Think about it for a second. Does a hot chick need to do her homework? No, there's a some geek lusting after her in highschool that will do it all for her. Does she need money? No, some rich guy will pay for all her sh|t just so he can get a chance at screwing her. Does she need to do anything at all? No! Some guy somewhere will fall all over himself to help her any time she is in need.

Its simple evolution! You can't evolve intelligence unless there's an envirnomental stressor there to encourage the selection of that trait. And when T&A gets you all that you need...who the hell needs intelligence?
 
most of the hot girls I know are also very smart. I think that's partly why they're so hot; a sharp mind and a great personality can turn a "pretty good-looking" girl into the most beautiful girl in the world.

It's fun for a while, but it gets old fast.

Good looking women are handed life on a silver platter by stupid men, and so without the impetus to have a brain they don't. Also, makeup, hair care, clothes, etc. make a huge difference - many intelligent women choose not to bother with all that, and end up being regarded as 'ugly' to the average ATOTer, who is virginal, <100 or >300 pounds, 15, has 8 zits per square inch on their face and judges all women against those whose last name is Jpg - the only ones they'll ever see naked.
 
I have dated smart, intelligent, well educated, well read, cultured, hot, good looking, sexy women.

Looks are not to most important thing to consider in a relationship.

I'm sorry, but that is a valid point - however, you are misdirecting the fault.

MANY 'intelligent women' DON'T both with makeup, hair, etc - and it's hardly the fault of anybody else for thinking that makes them look less attractive. Because it DOES.

That's like saying you should be allowed to let your hair get long and greasy, never shave, forget deodorant, and if women complain, it's just because they are being shallow and don't appreciate your mind.

That's just BS.

Both guys and girls really should put as much effort as they can into looking better. Get stylish haircuts, keep it trimmed (IE., get haircut monthly at least), use deodorant and wear cologne/perfume, put on makeup (if applicable) - heck, even keep your breath fresh (mints, whatever), use lip balm to prevent chapped lips, keep your face acne-free via this crazy thing called 'washing it', etc.

Physical appearance DOES indicate the quality of a person. Someone who "doesn't take care of themselves" or doesn't think putting effort into making themselves look good to the opposite sex is not someone I'd really want to be around. Humans aren't just big floating brains, so expecting someone to judge you just on your mind alone makes no sense.

Big difference between practicing good personal hygiene and primping one's self for 4 hours a day. The latter says a lot about a person, and indicates a person I'd rather not be around.

You don't have to 'primp for 4 hours a day' to look good. Decent amount of makeup, hairstyle, clothes, etc shouldn't take any woman more than an hour to manage, if that.

Since this is a PC board, I'll make a PC comparison. The difference between a $100 video card and a $200 video card is a chasm - 4 times the performance or better. The difference between a $200 video card and a $600 card is much less so - maybe double the performance on a good day. Diminishing returns.

IE., "practicing good personal hygiene" is the bare minimum. Not enough if you want to have a relationship with the opposite sex. OTOH, 4 hours of "primping" is overkill. But implying that those are the only two options is a mistake.
