    I don't think that they'll be more physically attractive but they will certainly be more interesting. And at the end of the day that is what will make them more attractive.
    So my answer is a roundabout no but yes I guess. :D

    Being highly intelligent makes you more attractive.

    To me.

    If you're clever, but not successful (what ever that looks like to you), are you really all that clever?

    Plenty of intelligent people out there who are not in the least bit "smart".

    Depends who you're asking.
    A mail order bride would probably find any ordinary Western man attractive.

    Actually; they seem to find dingo-ugly (and older) men attractive from my observations.

    Duchess of Alba, who died aged 88, leaves NOTHING to her 64-year-old toyboy while her six children get the £3billion fortune - and a palace each
    • Duchess of Alba, known as 'Cayetana', had a £2.2billion fortune and owned palaces, castles and fine works of art
    • She raised eyebrows and caused family friction in 2011 when she married a man 25 years her junior, Alfonso Diez
    • A relative of Winston Churchill, the duchess shared toys with Queen Elizabeth while living in England as a girl
    • Following her death, her six children are set to inherit a palace each as well as large acres of land across Spain

    Forget success. There's only one thing that makes people attractive:

    It certainly helps. Plenty of super rich people just seem to give in to gluttony (Palmer, Rineheart, etc) but success tends to = money, which you can use to free up time.

    Its easier to be healthier when you can pay for PT's, nutritionists, etc & outsource time consuming tasks like cleaning.

    It's what's on the inside that counts, and pigs are bacon on the inside.

    "Seduce my mind and you can have my body, find my soul and I'm yours forever."
    A quote from Archetype

    Looks are only the first impression. Sadly first impressions count for quite a bit.

    No.

    People find confidence and drive attractive.

    The end.
