On topic - Depends what type of 'brains' we are talking about. Certain types of intelligence,such as linguistic or interpersonal intelligence can absolutely boost game, and you would score higher quality women vs meat-head jock. Unfortunately the logical or mathematical aspects will probably equate to nothing (!) when it comes to women.

yeah.. just one or just the other can easily get you stuck in a very unproductive rut. in girls/game/health/wealth/life.
To be fair, you could argue the people who just grinded out their PhDs actually didnt have enough brains, at least as applied to career and life success. If they'd really investigated, they might have seen the economics of the higher education bubble and the importance of learning things like marketing/sales/business and developing practical skills they could use to freelance or really be employable. Instead they buried their heads, clung to their PhDs as their golden ticket and now they're working in bakeries etc.
And you can certainly point to people who've worked hard all their lives and hustled with their nose to the grindstones and really not had enough to show for it because they haven't been smart.
IMO it's about being willing to be flexible and adaptive. I think people get in ruts because they disown part of their natural capacities. The PhD disowns his practical wisdom and common, clinging to the fact that "being clever" has always worked for him in the past, when deep down he knows that courage, guts, and "soft" skills like sales, marketing and "who you know" are huge success factors.
The failing business owner / hard worker disowns his ability to think and analyse and learn, clinging to the outdated belief that putting in years of "honest days' work" is the only key to success, when deep down he knows needs to get smart and probably read some books and build up his knowledge and get clear on areas of business he's been confused or vague on for years.
Like, everyone KNOWS the things they should be doing but arent. It's all common sense. It's just we don't apply it, for one reason or another. People get stuck in their ways for whatever reasons. The real success key is being willing to do what you know you should be doing...whether that be learning more or taking more decisive action, and being able to do that in the face of discomfort.

The question is: is it easier for someone with brains to develop guts or for someone with guts to develop brains?
