I think you mean “Why intelligent people are more beautiful.” Check your causality.

Let me start by saying that you’re argument is a load of crap. Intelligence and looks are two separed things, genetacally and otherwise. But let’s break this into pieces.

premis one: inteligent people get more higher positions: totally false. in the real world people who have self confident or a relation with a boss get to a higher position.

premiss two: True, although this is just one of the factors they took in account. They actually consider more important the succes among other women and attractiveness which is another word for DNA physicall qualities

Premiss three: inteligence is heritable: totally fals. a person can have a certain potential inteligence from the parents but his or her actions determine their level of inteligence.

Premiss four: fals again: we have two sets of genes for each attribute, and actually genes that are considered ugly are dominant genes. so no, beauty is not inheritable.

Conclusion: you’re argument is stupid

The truth is that if you want to be successful you only dont really need to be smart just aggressive and look smart. If you want to be successful you have to play the game. Unfortunately for us smart people, everyone else is playing spades while we are playing chess. It is true that it is in the eye of the beholder, unfortunately that beholder is pretty stupid. I have personally witness really dumb and lazy people success, just because they fit the average. have you ever tried on a pair of versace pants? if you are not uber skinny you cannot put them on. Same thing with this society, if you are too smart you cannot fit in. And the thing about being pretty, just about everyone can do it, you just have to play the role. You have to have confidence, Wear the right close and hairstyle and your in. Just remember beauty is a fad, there was a time when we looked upon intelligence as something to be admired now its just ad adjective to describe pretty or ugly.

It’s hard to believe that intelligence and beauty meet in the same people.
I think that if you’re a bit prettier people like you and they encourage you to express. If you are smart, this encouragement is enough to make you learn and train and get to the top.
The ugly smart people get isolated and never get to perfect themselves to the point that it shows.
Don’t forget that the pretty&dumb people are more likely to show their “wits” publicly and in a marked manner. And people don’t give attention to the dumb&ugly anyway,

We all need to fill our niche in the world. If you are unattractive or can not perform all that well physically, you will make up for it mentally.
Evolution is also another factor.
In our distant past we did not have the easy life that we have today. We needed to hunt to survive. if you can perform physically, less thought needs to put in to achieve the result. But the intelligent people achieved the desired result using their minds (setting up staps etc.)
The traits have been passed down. More intelligent people are less like machines. Practical biology happens to look attractive.

Warren Buffet is considered by many who have met him to be the smartest person on earth, yet that hardly makes him the most handsome guy on the planet ( he may be, of course, at least to his mother;-) ).

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is not something we can measure, but we normally perceive the mentally retarded as being ugly. Presumably to stop us breeding with them.

Except that they’ve found Intelligence is a very, very poor predictor of success. Sure, it isn’t negatively correlated. That’s because it really just isn’t correlated at all. If you replace the author’s argument with motivation, I suspect it would not only be more true, it would also likely be demonstrated in statistics.
