Ladies and gentlemen, what do you consider the most vital quality that person should have? Suppose that you will find The One, the special person, and this person has almost all of the five areas listed below. However, she or he MUST NOT be lacking in this area or else it will all be over. What will this one area be? Note: Please read the areas below carefully before you vote. And Do not think in extreme, for example: someone lacking in area 1 soo badly that (s)he is mentally retarded, etc. Instead, just think that they are REASONABLY lacking in the areas.
1. Intellect This person is not the brightest star in the sky. (S)he does not pick up on things quickly and have trouble learning or understanding things. This person is usually last to laugh at jokes, funny situations, etc, or sometimes doesn't get it.
2. Good looks The person doesn't have good looks to begin with. In addition, (s)he does not take time to dress up, workout, put on makeup(for girls the girls). Their attitude is, as long as I'm not naked, I'm good to go.
3. Philosophy This person goes through life without a purpose. Questions like, why am I here, what's the meaning of life, the purpose of my life, etc have never pass his/her mind. Their attitude is, as long as I satisfy my senses(food, sex, money, etc), who cares what life means.
4. Drive The goal is just to do enough to get by. (S)he have no aim nor ambition to move up the ladder. The idea here is, If I can do enough to live comfortably without depending on others, I'm fine.
5. Character Being nice to others, having honor, honesty, integrity are not always first on this person's list. They pretty much are a Machiavellian and look after themselves. The outlook is, I sometimes have to do some harm to others for my own good. Sorry, its survival of the fittest.
Update: After you have cast your vote, you are more than welcome to rank these areas in DESCENDING order of importance, just like loveStruckBaby have done--thanks for that =)

To me, Areas 1 and 3 are fairly inseparable in terms of my desire for a girl to have them. I don't mind a Machiavellian approach (I often adopt it myself), and drive is overrated. Good looks are just good looks, anyone who has that as a concrete demand is setting their priorities all wrong, in my opinion. However, I can't imagine being with any girl who didn't have both intellect and a purposeful philosophy. (And I feel that it would be particularly hard for anyone to possess the latter without the former. )
Although the two areas can be linked, I think people can have one without the other in the area of intellect and philosophy. Low intellect people can get their philosophy through others, religion, school, so on. Also, remember that intelligence is multi-faceted. A person can be fairly bright in the philosophical area yet be dim at people skill, mathematical, visual-spatial, so on. - 5 months ago
Answerer
It seems as though we're working on different definitions. You use the words "intellect" and "intelligence" interchangeably, but I see them as having different connotations (subtle as they may be). To me, intellect implies a grasp and understanding of higher knowledge, not just intelligence which may be exhibited through so-called "book learning. " I think you can be intelligent without being intellectual. I stick to my opinion that a person must be intellectual to be philosophical. - 5 months ago
Question Asker
Intellect and intelligence are interchangeable, while the word intellectual implies another concept: a scholarly person. If you say someone has high intelligence, it does not mean they HAVE TO be scholarly person. A person may never go to school yet be intelligent. In psychology, we define people intelligence as to how well their mind works, how well they understand, solve problems, and use resources effectively in their world. It has nothing to do with book learning/school - 5 months ago

If "intellect" implies something which "intelligence" does not, then the two terms are necessarily not interchangeable. - 5 months ago
Question Asker
If you say someone has high intellect, then it means that they have high intelligence, and vice versa. So intellect does imply the same idea as intelligence, thus they're interchangeable. Go to wikipedia. Com and type in the word "intellect" and see where they'll link you and what word will come up. - 5 months ago
I chose See because without purpose a woman is worthless. A woman who controls her destiny by everything she does in life creates character and gives her the drive to excel. Without purpose, intellect never develops to its full potential. Good looks, start out with purpose to have them in the first place.
I see what you are saying, but you have to be careful when it comes to assuming causal relationships. Does a good philosophy give rise to higher intellect? Or does high intellect give rise to a good philosophy? Life causal relationships are often complex and not easily seen. We need to remember that the opposite causal relationship may be the truth. - 5 months ago
