If you would choose a partner what do you consider most BEAUTY or BRAIN ?

My honest opinion on this is that, we really shouldnt have to choose qualities in a person, but we should choose the person as a whole, with whatever qualities they may have or dont have. This question has been raised time and again. I still remember that my passionate response to one of those discussions was awarded as best. Back then I think I mixed the two words like saying beautifully brainy or something like that. I remember I also gave sample situations where in brains would definitely be the wise choice. Now, as I was reading your discussion, a clear simple answer popped up in my mind. I would still choose Brains over beauty. Beauty really do fades and it does have an expiration date. Whereas brains are there forever until you get senile. Also, if a person is brainy, no matter how ugly he/she may be, he/she will always think of ways to make themselves beautiful. So by choosing Brains, you actually get Beauty and Brains.

I Would choose a partner who has "beauty With Brains" :D. I won't compromise on anything here. I want a partner who has beauty with brains. Every person has his own definition for beauty and intelligence or say brains. I want a girl who is matured, intelligent in sense that she has a good presence of mind, Thinking ability and quick in finding out ways in difficult situation. A girl having 100 degrees never proves she is intelligent is what I feel. The real test of intelligence comes when you have to use it in real life situations. I want a girl having that kind of intelligence. A good sense of humour is a must as it adds spice to any relationship if both partners are optimistic and have a good sense of humour. I would go for a girl who is moderately beautiful and has a good sense of humour with sound intelligence and common sense. For me beautiful is not necessarily "Aishwarya rai" or "marilyn monroe". Beautiful for me would be a girl whose sweetness and charming face appeals to me. A beautiful girl for me would be ugly for someone else, Or a beautiful girl for you would sound ugly to me :D. So after all its a personal choice when it comes to beauty and brains both ;)

When I was young and stupid I went for good looks but then I matured and chose brains. Beauty fades with time but brains feed and improve with time and experience.

Can I answer neither? if you go for beauty Only , you will have a pretty face to look at but you may not have anything in common with this person. But if you go for brains, you may have an intelligent partner but they may not turn you on. So I say neither. What is most important is a little bit of both. With my guy , he may not be Brad Pitt but I love him. To me he is beautiful.And he is smart but what made me choose him was the connection we have. We were close friends first. We seem to have many things in common. He fell for me first and Finally I fell for him. So don't limit yourself to Just one , beauty or brains. You Can have both.But the main thing that counts , that will keep you two together, the connection.

Do you mean brain as intelligent? Are you talking about ladies? Oh friend! many people claim that ladies are just liked vases. Do yo know about the meaning of this statement? Guess by yourself. For me, I like beautiful and intelligent ladies. She is not beautiful without her intelligent.

beauty is on the inside more than the outside, it helps if they have a brain also, so both can be important

In my case I think that the best would be a person who has both. I have had in the past a boyfriend that I liked for his brains but I didn't find attractive, and in the end it didn't work, as I didn't feel physical attraction towards him, and that is an important thing. A person who is beautiful but has a void head is a big NO NO too. If you can't have a nice conversation with your partner, then it's not worth it.

can i have both?hehe i think i go for brain... =)

consider the heart of the person^^ you shouldnt consider his beauty bcs outside doesnt mean nothing about how person is inside^^ sometimes it says with person smile but sometimes we cant see by face. so always consider how person is^^ if the guy is caring, sweet, is there for you, helps you, advise you, comfort you^^ thats it^^ if hug and kiss when you are sad^^ thats what you have to consider to choose a lover^^ all these things^^ also how he makes you feel^^ if makes you feel happy and special when he is around^^

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may be beautiful on the outside may not be beautiful on the inside. This is not something that is always important but in most cases it does count. Having beauty will take you far but having brains will take you even further. I like to be able to have an intellectual conversation with a guy. Of course I am gonna choose someone who has beauty because that is something that matters to me in my partner but his mind also matters to me, more so than his beauty. His looks will get him only so far with me. I would like to know that I can learn something from my significant other as well as him learning from me. I would like to know that when I looks began to fail us that we would still have something else in common that will keep the spice in our relationship.

brains ofcourse. beauty without brains is a real turn off for me. just beauty isn't enough. it isn't enough to have a good life, good job, etc. being smart will take you high, but just beauty, i don't think so.

I think I would go for both. If not, I would rather date a guy who have not really that high intellectual capacity but the average. Obviously women says they admire good looking men. But it just ends up in admiring. Not really obsessing themselves to hook with that person. As for me, I want some one who I can talk to sensibly. What is the use of good looks when he/she cant know how to spell words. LOL!! Either way, it is really up to you what you really want. And by the way not all good looking people are dumb. Maybe you will find an exception with that. That would be hitting two birds in one stone.

Hey,Three years age I think the first factor I care is that he must be the one I believe and turst,no matter whether he is beauty or brain.The second he is of wisedom and insistance.Now I tend to choose the person is humor,strong mind and has full understandingof life and resposibility.

well it should be qualify in both cases. But the most important thing is brain!

As for me, I would choose for brain. Beauty is skin deep, it is useless when you have no brain. Having a brain is more permanent in nature. He who has brain has the ability to capture one's attention even when he has no beauty.

it is funny that you will choose a partner because of this qualities only. there are more to it than just brains and beauty. there are a lot of average looking women who are very understanding and very loving. there are also average looking women who are good cooks and good home maker. welcome to the wonderful world of mylot fhems, i hope you find someone who is perfectly fit for you.

You should choose a partner who has both brain and beauty.

For me, it would be better if it's a bit of both. How can you enjoy the time you spend with someone if you don't even enjoy talking to her/him? Of course, a smart person with that sense of humor will never give you a dull moment. When I say beauty, not that beauty queen. A pretty face is enough to make you proud of that person somehow.
