    Which do you have? Which do you wish you had? If you are blessed with both, how do you outdazzle your beauty with your brains??

    Oh,I had both up until a few years ago. The cute is gone and the brain is weakening fast. Dick still works pretty good tho.

    True beauty is on the inside.

    The inside of my pants that is

    Oh BS. I can't see your brain but if you are underrating your intelligence like your beauty then you are a genius.

    I am fine with the way I am. I am low maintenance so what you see is what you get. If people don't like it I really don't care.
     
  12. Spot on specs - that is exactly my response to this rather bizarre question :D

    Actually, this has been shown as a relevant question among feminists. Women want to be taken seriously. Those that are beautiful get attention, but possibly not the kind of attention they want.

    I've found cliches such as "I don't care what people think" can't really be true. Not to mention, it's hostile and combative. Essentially to be as genuine as one can be will not always be popular. Most women have trouble accepting that.
     
  14. I have no trouble whatsoever not giving a fuck what people think!

    I guess I'm not extremely gifted with either of them but I am extremely myself so I do give a slight fuck when people seem to find my 'brains' ugly. And yes, it's nice to not be thought of as ugly too. I also am low maintenance though. I will not compromize to how others think I should look, think or act (well, I am not too shabby to take advise sometimes but I have to agree naturally :p). Both aspects are me so I do not feel like outdazzling one or the other:D

    I look at pictures of me from years ago and think Dang I was cute! Now I look in the mirror and think...who is that!?

    My brain and my mouth are so closely attached to each other they have gotten me in trouble any number of times. This continues to happen.


    However, there are NUMBERS of people (men and women) that have both brains and beauty.

    I sometimes wish I didn't understand or couldn't grasp half of what I know, because I think I'd be more happy as a result, but I've come upon it honestly and I've seen the hypocrisy and damage caused by people who have gotten by or even flourished in life with nothing more than beauty and charisma and I don't envy them, because unless they live very short lives, that beauty, and the gifts they bring, will always abandon them.
