You’re a very intelligent person , you’ve shown that here so many times, if I knew you better I’m sure your intelligence would show through even more intensely than it does here.
Don’t doubt yourself! If others seem to place more attention on your looks than your intelligence that’s their problem.
If you feel that you’re experiencing something like this among your professional peers then the solution might be to press you professional opinions more urgently and maybe even refrain from light banter in favor of expressing yourself in terms of your knowledge and understanding of your position..
I don’t know really, just putting it out there, but I do think that you should keep up your confidence in yourself, there is nothing lacking in your intellectual ability!
