Don't count on it.
Nikola Tesla envisioned that happening about a hundred years ago. Supposedly the women of the future would only choose prime genetic specimen like he is, with enormous intelligence and productive capabilities, while shunning anyone with "criminal genes", who contributed to nothing, except for possessing a large "member" and a decent face to look at.
Didn't quite turn out that way.

The female's idea of selection, differs greatly from the ideas made up by men.
Well, their ideas differ from what men would prefer, but they only differ slightly (and to men's liking) from how men themselves select mates. That was always a silly vision, and would only be semi-coherent if women were entirely dispossessed of any productive abilities themselves, to the point that picking a mate was purely about survival. Even then, to entirely discount physical and emotional attraction would be asinine.
Courtship for men is still a much, much, much more meritocratic game than it is for women. Women deviate from seeking a proportionally attractive mate all the time and bend their physical standards on the basis of intelligence, success, emotional attraction, etc. Men? Not nearly as much. If you're a successful man, it's almost unheard of that you date a woman of lesser attractiveness, and women will be overvalued on the basis of physical appearance to a much greater degree. For a woman with every great quality except remote physical attractiveness, their field of suitors is still extreeeeemley limited.
