You may have heard the saying that nice guys finish last, but it seems lots of ladies think that clever girls are right there with them.

This is why we often pretend like we're stupid because we think that will help us bag the man of our dreams.

Sometimes, girls feel that acting smarter than the guy they are dating robs him of his manhood and so they often do nothing more than nod, giggle and fiddle with their hair.

You might even pretend like all you're interested in is make-up, clothes and celebrities, when your actual interests lie in current affairs, microbiology or even a spot of brain surgery.

But you dare not say anything, because obviously a girl with a brain would send a man running through the door faster than you can say Paris Hilton.

And this is because of the misconception that guys aren't into clever girls. Of course there are some insecure guys who would hate to be with a clever girl, because they haven't got the brains to compete.

But for many, intelligence is a turn-on rather than a turn-off.

For example, Ed, a journalist from London, said: "Smart girls get my vote every time, there's nothing worse than a ditzy airhead with bleached blonde hair and a Chihuahua in her handbag."
