zitstif··on Beautiful men, women have higher IQs
I would need to put the term in quotes if I'm planning on using the term in an unusual manner.

I put the term in single quotes due to the fact that 'attractive' can be an ambiguous and subjective term.

I'm aware that 'Attractiveness is a real thing'.

zitstif··on Beautiful men, women have higher IQs
One other consideration: I recall a 20/20 special years ago that showed how superficial society can be. They did a test where they had one 'unattractive' person on the side of the road who had no gas and needed help. Needless to say, they never received any help in comparison to the 'attractive' person who was put in the same situation.

The point that I'm making is that, maybe the reason why 'attractive' people may have a higher IQ, is that they are more likely to receive help from others based solely on their appearance.

Another point I would like to add: Maybe 'attractive' people feel the need to increase their intelligence, due to the stereotype that 'attractive' people don't need to have intelligence and can just rely upon their looks to get them through life.
