Where did the idea that geniuses/smart people are not good looking come from? Is it the influence of American 80s high school comedies where the nerd wears braces, thick glasses and has acne? I've seen many photos, paintings and images of geniuses of the past and they all seem to be mostly normal and some even good looking. Makes sense since physical appearance is the mirror of the soul therefore someone who is ugly is likely to have ugly thoughts as well. Sure, ugly nerds make good pen-pushers and members of the managerial class but they're only high-achieving when compared with bimbos and niggers from their high school, they are nowhere near the likes of Newton or Gauss. Or perhaps reverse halo effect is at play here and those geniuses weren't that attractive and were only imbued with attractiveness by posterity?

Smart kids are often bullied in school as nerds and geeks, and this can lead to being poorly socialised and unkempt. But yeah there is no correlation between being hit with the ugly stick genetically and being smart (with the exception perhaps of some Ashkenazi Jews: maybe this is part of the reason for the stereotype you're talking about now that I think about it).

Jews.

>>14923962 (OP)

you would think high IQ people would be *better* looking because maybe they just have better genes in general. Maybe there's a loose association between IQ, wealth, attractiveness, empathy, physical health, whatever.

I think unironically it's from the American media being forwarded by the kind of people that peaked in highschool

>>14923962 (OP)

Unironically Jews.

It's part of the jealousy and hatred the weak and sickly Ashkenazi Jews have towards the tall and athletic Europeans. Notice how the nerds usually get a good ending in media?

This stereotype didn't exist before Jews took over Hollywood.

This is Jim Morrison, right?

Ugly nerds like to think of themselves as genius. Reality is basically the inverse of 80's movie tropes. The big blonde athlete is the "bad guy" because those movies were written by resentful dorks. Chad and Stacy with their exceptional looks, their athletic and instinctual brilliance are the great people and achievers irl. If Newton wouldn't have been such a sperg and also grown up in our era he would have been stuffing guys like Schopenhauer into lockers and taping them shut, going to keggers in the woods with Stacy after the big game, etc.

Jim's penis is indecent?

Fashion is a big part of attractiveness and behavior. 

Nerds may not be ugly due to genetics, but are unattractive because they're odd and don't work to fit in with the expected appearances of their context and society.

>It's part of the jealousy and hatred the weak and sickly Ashkenazi Jews have towards the tall and athletic Europeans.

Jews can be attractive in part because they look kinda weird. One of the most academically successful girls I knew in high school was this Asian girl who had a crush on Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore version), but he plays King Nerd in the movie, and more energetic and athletic than the others, but would lose against the jocks. Human attraction can be a strange thing.
