One study suggested there is a sweet spot for attractiveness at an IQ of 120 and with declining attractiveness above, which agrees with previously postulated hypothesis that too much of a desirable trait is detrimental. However, it is not clear whether this reflects actual mating choices.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321640585</ref> The sweet spot being way above the mean demonstrates that intelligence is still under positive sexual selection. | One study suggested there is a sweet spot for attractiveness at an IQ of 120 and with declining attractiveness above, which agrees with previously postulated hypothesis that too much of a desirable trait is detrimental.
