I don’t see a correlation between appearance or political ideology and intelligence. I’ll leave it at that. LOL

I don’t know what a liberal looks like, but I can tell you what a far right conservative extremist looks like.
Either one I can get along with just fine.
Looks help. What does a "far right conservative extremist" look like? What is a "far right conservative extremist"? Looks can be decieving. When my daughter was in college at ISU (about 30 miles away), she would often bring some of her friends home. Some of these kids had peirceings and tattoos all over, purple hair and dressed like bums. I never asked about their politics, but they were all polite, intelligent kids. Not what I'd expect just by looking at them.

I think many people do exactly what you're talking about. Take AOC for example. If I met her in a bar and she didn't mention politics other than that she likes Trump, I'd be thinking she's pretty hot, although maybe a little ditzy. Probably give her more credit than she deserves. However, if she starts off that she voted Biden and loves the way he's destrying our country, I'd be like, This horse toothed idiot has to go. So yeah, looks go far..but only so far.

I was a hiring manager for 18 years in the service industry. Being likable matters, if you aren’t smart enough to figure that out, how smart are you?

Intelligence is most often professionally measured by IQ and is based off of the subjects ability to solve problems in a timed setting. These problems do not rely on prior knowledge.
Intelligence varies on average more in men than women, the dumbest people you meet will likely be men and the smartest people you meet will likely be men, women are typically average with less variation.
Knowledge is not Intelligence Wisdom is not Intelligence
I know, respect, like and love some people who display great wisdom though they are of average or less intelligence. I've known some incredibly intelligent people (my brother for one) who wasted their gift and lacked any sort of wisdom.

I have found attracrive appearance has little correlation with intelligence. Most of the geniuses I know and am friends with look a little to fairly weird. Eccentricity and intelligence definitely correlate.
Education has little correlation with intelligence too. Many of the most intelligent people have poor formal educations, but they notice and study everything.
Curiosity correlates strongly with intelligence.

I'd date or marry an average looking woman (say a 7or 8 on the scale) who is intelligent over a dumb bimbo. The physical attracts but that's not what makes it stick, not for me. It has got to be both.
Had to edit, I was redundant. Bimbo already carries the connotation of being dumb.

He was as nauseatingly liberal as you would expect an Ivy League grad to be. Smart guy in so many ways but directionless in life.

Keith I agree. There are studies that show many of the most intelligent often are poorly educated by scholastic standards often struggling and dropping out due to frustration. The same studies also point to poor or even negative social skills with a higher than average rate of antisocial behaviors. I happen to possess one of those funny brains the good Lord blessed with both curiosity and a good filing system for arcane data. My brothers and I all were tested as gifted, mine north of 140, yet I'm a high school drop out and have a working knowledge of the judicial system. My take on it coming from a wonderful family of brilliant minds and seeing cousins, nieces and nephews struggle as well is that one size fits all education is harmful. Each child must be challenged and allowed to explore and learn at their own ability and pace. While at the same time being fully integrated into and accepted in the social norms. Even typing this I realize I have broken a social taboo as there are unspoken things one mustn't do. Oh well, it is what it is. But at the end of the day it is what you do with the talents God above has blessed you with no matter how big or small that truly matters and it that regard I consider myself the least of these.
