This seem to be my experience. It is just a simple observation. Of couse, you could make some existential logical statement that there exist at least one girl or boy that is ugly, but smart. Obvious, what i mean of course is that it is geneally true that smart people tend to be beautiful. All my ex s are good damn hot, but they are also very bright girls. There was one that was in the math olympaid, one in the putman, one that was a 33 years old programmer etc... These girls are not just "hot" but "pure". there seem to be an air of sophistication about them...

I would have to say that there is no relation between physical appearance and intelligence. If anything, I would say that the opposite of what you say is more true. From my observations, people who are very attractive sometimes rely on their attractiveness and neglect their mind.

i think the not so attractive people tend to be more hardworking. Perhaps that is why you say they have more brains.

I think you just got lucky.
 
Most of the attractive people I know are the stupidest people I have ever met! They are soo self absorbed that they have no clue about the real world and what's going on around them.
