Who I'd date, there's no comparison. I mean who would I choose - Jessica Alba or Steve Hawking. HMMM... Brains can be a burden. Can looks? I dont think so.
Would rather be smarter. Looks are guaranteed to fade but at least with intelligence you have a chance at maintaining that with good diet excercise and sleep. I would take my attractiveness down a few notches in a heartybeat to have the right SOCIAL IQ to make the ladies (and the men, I'm bi) laugh. People who can say the right things have the most success. What use is it to look good if you don't know how to talk to them. I think there are many forms of intelligence though; scientific, creative, social etc.
Indeed, it's more about general social skills than just being able to tell one thigh slapper after another (which Cannabliss already seems to have figured out).
Yes, I'm sure it does but it seems to help people when they are able to make a woman laugh, at least to get their attention after first meeting. I can't even do that anyway so my strategy now is to try and find women with common interests but first I need to move to a vastly different environment than where I now live but thats another story for another day. Good point though
Attractive.. At a scored Iq of 177.. being smart sucks, i realise too much and it makes me angry that others dont
Smartness can also pass off as cleverness and abundance of knowledge devoid of wisdom. They may be great in money making or grabbing political power but losers in their personal life. My version of smartness is being both wise and knowledgeable at the same time. If this is what is meant by smartness here, then I would rather belong to the top !% smart dudes.
This question can't be answered the way it was asked. Nobody wants to be a genius that looks like the elephant man. And nobody would want the brains of the dumbest retard to look like a supermodel. I would like some combination. Right now I would prefer to be smarter than better looking. I would say I am average in both.
This day and age, to be successful it seems better to be attractive than intelligent. Far better, applies to either sex. Looks can bring Power. That's what guarantees success nowadays, at least in America. Contrary to the old saying, It really is Who you Know, and Who you Blow. And don't fuck it up even once. All about Perfection. I don't approve, but that's what I've witnessed in life. This is the problem I have with modern America.
I'm tough, and, I like it that way! I've played hockey, NA football, Euro football, and, baseball. However, I'm also able to fly an aircraft. So, I'm tough and smart. Unfortunately, I don't have Hollywood looks, but, I'm not ugly either!
you know if i could, i'd be smart, attractive, and non-human. you know from some place where people didn't have a hang up about about whether you had fur or scales or feathers, and whether their pattern was stripes or spots or something else. big brain, like those thelosians in early star trek episodes, only with 8 fingered hands with retractable claws and a prehensile tail. you know with a cat/mustalid looking face. much more attractive then anything human. i don't mean female attractive if i was male, i mean matching whatever gender i was, which being from some other world, might not be limited to male or female either, i mean physically. hard to explain to people who can only imagine ever having lived in one solar system and on one planet in it.
