Poll: Would you trade intelligence for attractiveness?

[veloper]

Attractiveness also attracts shit; good looks are not selective.

Aslong as you're not hideously ugly, better looks don't help much for a guy. Dressing smartly and keeping clean is far more important.

 

[Cursed Frogurt]

I probably would. I mean, aren't dumb people REALLY easily entertained? Imagine how much easier life would be!

 

[GameMaNiAC]

I like being a witty bastard, so... I'd rather not choose attractiveness.

 

[Leg End]

Brilliance.

Indeed.

OT: Heeeeelllllllllllll no. I am perfectly fine looking like a hairy man beast, thank you very much.

[sub]Though, it scares Lolis away... I might shave.[/sub]

 

[emptyother]

Id rather trade my remaining attractiveness (it aint much, but it is something) for more intelligence.

Though it would probably be fun to have so little intelligence that i didnt care...

 

[C95J]

yes, because I would rather be happy with someone else than intelligent.

 

[Baldry]

Thankfully I'm already a sex god, so no need to worry about this for me, but if I was seriously ugly I would consider it.

 

[The Funslinger]

Well I'm intelligent enough, and apparently I look just like my dad (but with brown hair instead of black) and apparently he is/was quite good looking (I have no opinion) so I don't see the need to improve. I don't really judge myself, but a couple of compliments have been tossed my way. Though a friend of mine does occasionally mock minor flaws to make himself feel better about his own looks (which he openly complains about) so my self esteem does take a kicking on a regular basis.

 

[AudienceOfOne1]

Attractiveness only gets you so far. Where as if it was charisma in exchange for some intelligence, then hell yeah I would.

 

[Kroxile]

No, for two reasons.

1. I am already quite handsome irl. *toots own horn*
2. Trading intelligence for looks just isn't a very intelligent thing to do and I daresay anyone who would make such a trade didn't have much in the way of smarts to begin with.

 

[Nova Helix]

Intelligence is attractiveness. Case and point, this man had at least one affair and was a heart throb.

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

What if I already have both?

 

[Binerexis]

I would probably consider it if I was in a really 'low self-esteem place' but only if I could choose what knowledge/intelligence to use. I spent three years studying Japanese, if I suddenly lost all of that I'd be pissed.

 

[jyork89]

A lot of people here are claiming to be intelligent and smart. I'll just leave this here... http://nedmartin.org/amused/men-and-women
I rest my case.
As for the poll. It's tricky because there are a lot of attractive dumb people in positions of power while there are a lot of highly intelligent people who are happy to limit their contribution to society to bragging that they are in Mensa.
I would rather be attractive and successful than intelligent and a basement dweller whose greatest achievement was bragging to anon's how he/she was in Mensa.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Meh, I look good enough already.

 

[epikAXE]

No...bud i wish i could do the opposite

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Not really. I'm attractive enough to get the job done. Sure being prettier would make a shocking number of things easier, but I think I get more enjoyment out of being relatively intelligent than I would if life were simply easier to succeed in.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

What do you mean by intellgence?

It's a broad term, really.

abillity to comprehend abstract though? Basic in school grades intellgence? IQ? emotional wisdom?

 

[Lionsfan]

I would have to say no. I'm fairly good looking now so I wouldn't want to give up my intelligence to get better looking. If I lost some weight and put on a little muscle I think that I would be fine

 

[FuktLogik]

Not a bloody chance. I like the knowledge and smugness that makes me me, and I'm fairly good looking anyway.
