I once had a really stupid, uneducated girlfriend (she was hot!) and thought "Great! She will listen to my opinion because I am smarter" (I was young at the time). Anyway, I found the opposite to be true. She thought she was smarter and was very bossy to boot. I dumped her very soon after I realized that dating stupid people was a losing battle. So I agree with this study, but agree that there needs to be some excitement and being attractive adds to it.
