Why is it so attractive when a girl plays dumb or acts ditzy?

[peace-love-couture]

What makes a ditzy personality more attractive than an intelligent personality in your opinion?

Don't say sex, because there are plenty of ditzy people who end up in relationships and it's more than just that. And I've seen Qs on here where guys say it's cute and makes them want to protect the girl.

What it really comes down to is an ability to be playful. Nobody likes when someone just acts like a completely idiot, but some flubs are just funny and harmful. Just like watching a small child do something stupid and funny like bump their head. But again, if you're having these ditz moments, cute or not, there is a point where you just to question if all the lights are up upstairs. So what I'm trying to say is it depends on a lot of things including the guys personal preference.

Never been attracted to the ditzy type. I know a lot of guys are, but I've never gotten why.

I prefer girls who are confident and self-sufficient. I want someone who's my equal. I'm fine with being a protector, and I'll protect my woman with my life, but I don't want feel like I have to look after her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself.

Hmm I think guys feel like the problem solver and more manly and powerful in their presence. I'll admit sometimes when I flirt I well, don't act ditzy, but I just let him be the smart one. That's just cuter than spouting off facts and sh*t. Not that you do it all the time but sometimes its funny cute and flirty? Hmm I don't know *giggle*

Really? When was this unanimously decided? In my books, intelligence is vastly sexier. Too sexy in fact. Smart, sexy, nerdy girl with glasses? Damn sexiest thing to walk the earth!

It's not really. A little bit of ditziness can be cute, but there is definitely a line where it becomes excessive and the girl just appears dumb.

I don't know about protection but I get the cute thing, but I wouldn't say it's more attractive than being intelligent

It's not attractive. Well, it might be if you're in middle school. I'm not in middle school, though.
