Kinda bordering a strawman here, but if I said
there would be bunch of dudes saying they are into intelligent women, and that it's just hollywood.

Men are attracted to the "airhead type" because those women are good at making men feel good about themselves and keeping up lively conversation; and though people usually prioritise companions who have the same interests as them, they enjoy talking also to a lively conversation partner, perhaps someone as-different-from-themselves as possible: someone who surprises them.
Many men feel that all women have the "airhead" quality - no, not as in they're all stupid, but as in they're lively and conversational in that stereotypical way that disrupts the man-to-man conversation; and though they do not speak to men as equals (preferring to talk over them or jerk the conversation off on some other tangent, perhaps, or dwell on uniquely feminine topics which baffle/disinterest the male listener), this is seen as no big loss, really. For women are different to men, and their presence in our lives is welcome precisely because of that rather than in spite of it.
The important thing to remember is that people change overtime and every person is more multifaceted than massive media would have us believe - so yes, that is "just Hollywood." Who's to say why a man likes an "airhead," she probably has more depth to her than you know about.
