Emotional intelligence by far.
The men who compulsively jump from one woman's pic to the next on SW or elsewhere online give evidence of how fleeting the connection with physical appeal is.
I have known plenty of people with impressive academic careers. Some of them are very nice people and some are arrogant jerks. The academic career is impressive for academic reasons, but balancing that career with the rest of life is what becomes appealing about the person.
And that latter quality brings us back to emotional intelligence.
