Would you rather trade "intelligence for looks" or "looks for intelligence"? What will u choose for yourself? And why?

Question

Kaneki05 · Accepted Answer

Well the thing about intellect, which anybody with it been high should know this it comes with a burden of disliking average people as well they usually have irrational beliefs and opinions.
This makes it much harder to relate, and get along with people. So not only would I be trading for looks but also a possibility of getting along with people more easily which would be a benefit.
Which then would change my whole life style and personality all together, to the point I really wouldn't know what it's like without seeing it.

Therefore the safe option is just to keep what I already have. I don't think I want to be someone else though it could make things a lot simpler and easier.

I´d go with intelligence rather looks because to me it´s highly attractive if a woman is smart and can hold a conversation. Also I find many girls other guys consider average attractive for instance I´d rather go out with the girl you chose as picture for average than with the girl you chose for looks because to me the first seems to be more attractive.

I think you want both cause both have important benefits. I know not everybody is born with Candace Swanepoel's face but almost everyone will look good if they maintain a healthy BMI and avoid frowning or eating bad foods.

Whichever option will bring more happiness. If being pretty and dumb equals more joy I want that, and if intelligence equates to that then I am going with that option.

Sonorous · Answer

As much as I'd love to be better looking, I'd choose intelligence. This is because I genuinely believe I'd find more meaning in life with it. It would be more useful to myself & the world.

Intelligence although this is a tricky one for me being at least slightly sapiosexual. I genuinely think intelligence makes us better-looking.

Also if we're intelligent and capable of learning new things rapidly, we can work out more efficiently, adopt better nutrition, excel in sports, school, fashion, navigate social events with ease, etc.

So I went for intelligence but I also think it'll make us good-looking the more intelligence we have.

Oh boy!! That's a tough one.  Fortunately there's a third kind too which is known as, "beauty with brains" lol. So, I'm just gonna keep myself patient until I spot that third species haha.

aceleon · Answer

not to brag but i am both already. iq 137 for looks well my pp is the only celebrity i look alike so do the math yourself if i'm good looking or not.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Intelligent, no question. Being good looking is nice, but what's it going to do for you when you're alone? Not romantically, but just by yourself? Intelligence, on the other hand, lets you see, and enjoy, so much more in the world.

sawno · Answer

I like the balance I have, even if I think the balance is in favor of intelligence over looks I wouldn't want to be dumber.

normalice · Answer

Both are temporary but intelligence tends to be temporary in a way the intelligent can deny, so I'll go with looks.

Don't follow in Alina Habba's foosteps lol. I'll take intelligence any day.

At3mis24 · Answer

I prefer to stay smart and average looking. I have often head in books (yes, I'm a bookworm!) and I love to learn by myself various subjects who are not taught in school.

I already have both, I'm not giving either up.

I would trade looks for intelligence. Depending on the day, I feel like I have a decent amount of both, like most people.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I'm pretty smart in some areas, and I'm probably a good solid 6ish, so I'm fine right where I am.

renodnol32 · Answer

Intelligence. Its that simple really. Looks will eventually fade. So looks will only profit me for a limited time. But intelligence lasts.
