why is it that there has to be a differentiation between esthetical beauty and intellectual advanceness? yeah...some of those words aren't really words... but the essence of that sentence is thought provoking is it not? saying that all smart people {in relation to scientists} are ugly is just close minded i have seen some smoking hot scientist...generally speaking what makes someone a nerd? usually they aren't the most attractive people and therefore based on lack of good genetics they spend more time studying then they do focused on their looks the nerds in high school are usually the kids that don't go to the big clam bakes and box socials on the weekends but that is so stereotypical and in this day and age stereotypes are for the weak maybe the smoking hot girls still enjoy science but choose not to show that part of themselves to others based on already preset notions people have about them or maybe you're just in a bad program
