Beauty or Brains?

Philippines

If I were to choose between these two, I prefer to have the most brilliant mind. There is so much we could do if we have the intelligence. The modern era has developed lots of inventions or solutions to correct defficiences including genetic imperfections. I consider beauty as a bonus to the totality of an individual. I hope to catch different views from Einsteins' or Helens' of this modern community.. have a great time.

I choose the beauty, lots of smart people forget with intelligence his because had been tempted by the beauty. So, beauty is the main and also in fact, the male not too happy with a female who is clever

It would be 'Brains' for me, every time. It is possible to be able buy beauty, or be in great physical shape with the right make up which would trick the eye. But when that beauty fades (as it will), then, you're left with nothing. 'Brains' can not be bought.

Actually both Beauty and Brains are important.But its very rare to have both so most times we just have to choose between the two. I think I'll choose Brains,along with a bit of Beauty too.The first attraction is always because of the beauty,it's only after you get to know the person and interact with him/her that you fall in love with the brains of the person.Also,beauty is temporary and lasts for few years only,but Brains last forever.

I cannot answer that just like what is 1+1 or what would you choose if it is good or bad? Why? Because there are many types of how are you going to classify that a person is having brains. Genius, academically intelligent, wise and smart are all different it has advantages and disadvantages and oftentimes they are extreme. At times they can be good academically but they are not intelligent enough for practical demands. I know someone who claims she is academically intelligent or projects that she is genius (oh well for your info that girl is ugly and we can even call her a shrimp, tapon-ulo in filipino term) but then she is so duummmbbb in practical demands especially in committing in relationship. Imagine she needs to please a guy by being a sugar mommy so that they could settle in relationship? Imagine also that she claims that it is alright for her that her boyfriend is flirting with other girls but at the end of the day he will be with her. Isn't sound like a senseless martyr? Oh well that is great example because brainy people can be that duummbbb especially in important situations. It was so hard to be like Einstein as well because if you knew while bringing his horse along the way he never felt that the horse ran away, he only realized that when he was already at home that his horse was already lost. Einstein tends to be very forgetful in some important things. That is the reason why I don't admire brainy people just like that because the question is in what aspect are they using it? Ferdinand Marcos was even a very intelligent man who passed the law and even passed his murder case without any lawyers. Then again it is hard to choose.

I cannot chose only one, because I would go for beauty of the personality or character. I know a woman who is beautiful physically and she has brains too, she is an intelligent girl. But she is hated by a lot people because of her bad attitude and her personality is not likeable. She is not humble and she looks down on other people. I think true beauty comes from within, cliche as it sounds but for me that is the universal truth. If your are beautiful on the inside, it will radiate from within and people will find you beautiful on the outside also. As to the brain matters, I think people can be intelligent to, especially now that information is at hand, you can read books to gain knowledge and all tha stuff.

Well let's put it in a realistic scale and have a look shall we? There's no such thing as perfection in this world. Hence it can be concluded that in order for one to have the chance to choose between beauty or brains is almost near to zero or in other words very low. To me, though beauty strikes as the most important first impression, nevertheless it's what's in the inside that counts.That's why if I have the choice, i would rather choose someone that has the in between quality.But why is it that i wouldn't choose the brains?? Well are there any genius in this real world that are happy of their life? Go figure.

I think there it depends and if i got the chance to choose beauty or brain. I will try to get the enough combination of both. And if even in any condition i have to choose one only. Then i will go with more beauty and low brain. There is simple reason. If i have more brain. I will try to find out the things which are better for me. But if i don’t have then there would be a level of satisfaction i would have. And this could make my life happier.

Personally smarts is what's going to get you far in life. If a person relies on looks to get buy, then guess what... then you had better mery rich or want a family with children, or to be alone all your life because you didn't make something of yourself. I'm not saying all "pretty" women are as I have stated, but I can honestly say this looks can only do so much, and quite frankly can send the wrong message. I think there should be a happy middle ground, but then again, I'm one of those who so-happens to have a little of both going for me. But, I rely on my intelengance to do far more with my life then I can handle with just looks.

I would hae to agree, if you look at whats going on today though alot of people would go off of beauty, and a person can be ditz, but if the look good or wahtever they qualify, alot of things are backwards, I don't care if you are beautiful, we need you to have the brains as well, so I would agree with you on that beauty is just a bonus.
