It's funny how things have changed since when I was a kid in the 1960s. Back then, attractive people were generally thought NOT to be smart because they were more social than unattractive (average-looking) people. I hold this belief to this day and in my personal life it has been rarely wrong.

I wasn't alive back then, but I've always gotten the impression attractive people were seen as less intelligent as a direct backlash from scientists and other brainy things being 'in'.
