So, am I being too picky?

[C4Vendetta]

I just thought I'd ask for some fresh perspectives on this matter.
Now I've got a decent social/romantic teenage-life, but there's one problem I always encounter.
Some information about me first: I myself am quite a smart person. Not be cocky, but it's just true. School is easy for me and overall I know allot, read allot and learn allot. This means I, personally, really can't date girls that aren't somewhat on "my level".
Now I also consider myself good looking. I'm not quite sure how well a person can judge himself, but I do know that I can compare myself to others and easily see I'm a 7/8 out of 10. Or so I like to believe.

Now to get real "problem" the girls I get attracted to are nothing out of the usual, but it seems any girl I'm physically really attracted to just doesn't fit with me.
Physically satisfying, emotionally brain killing.
Though every now and then I meet a person that's just got an amazing character, who I can talk with about things we're both interested in, and for who I do not have to act less intelligent than I am. But here's the catch: pretty much every girl like that, I wasn't really physically attracted too.

And there's the epic dilemma. Brains versus looks. Why can't it be like in the films? Some smoking hot start that's a genius too?
Personally I really can't seem to figure out what's actually going on with me. I'm aware that I also am effected by peer pressure quite a bit too much. It seems I intentionally find any flaws other could point out about a girl, and therefore, classify he as "non-suitable".
Even when I meet someone who's easily "a seven" I might skip merely because of the reactions of others, and yes, I do realise that's just incredibly wrong.

Now I've lost any trail of where I was looking to go to with this thread, so I suppose I'm now just looking for some general input? Personal experiences perhaps?

Hmm, lets see if this gon' help.
