Good looking and stupid or intelligent and average?

Lands Leaving

Whats more important in a woman/man?

Personally I'll take intelligent and average, because stupid girls, no matter how good lookin they are eventually drive you mental. Case in point you couldn't pay me to go out with jessica simpson.

halfinch

def intelligent and average theres no point in talking to a wall

Andy-Pandy

If its a short term flinf then ill go for looks, anything longer than that then you have to go for the smarts.

Good looking and intelligent.;)

Rob_l

I like stupid women they make me feel good about my own limited intelligence but Im an equal oppurtunities employer I take ugle and stupid women as well as the good looking smart ones

For me intelligence is the most attractive feature about a girl.

Actual good looks is a bonus imo.

If I can't have a conversation with someone, that isn't about fake tan, "celebs" or some other inanely silly topic, then I wouldn't tolerate them.

A stupid girl gets uglier the longer you're with her, an intelligent girl gets sexier.

One night - good looking
More than one nights - intelligent

choice is a cop out.
If good looking, she's an advantage there, but stupid is at her other scale.
If average, she's 'not bad' and you probably would anyway, and intelligent can be a turn on.
In other words, the poll should be:
Good looking & Stupid
or
Intelligent & Darn right ugly

Now, that's where it gets tricky...

If there is no good sex life is not worth living

Hmm, should have put that all right.

Honestly, this thread is unintelligent.

It's operating from the premise that you'd get on better with someone of a higher intelligence, than someone of a lower intelligence, which is frankly, a load of old bollocks. Seriously, you guys think an intelligent woman can't be an outright insufferable c*nting b*tch? Likewise, a woman who might be a bit of a dullard could be the nicest, most affectionate person and you could really love.

It's also going under the notion that looks and intelligent are inversely proportionate. The sheer amount of hideous geebags running around slathered in fake tan and can barely string a few words together would seriously disprove this theory.

Intelligence ftw, it won't get droopy or wrinkly later in life!

Ever heard of senile dementia?

I'd prefer intelligent and average myself... but for some reason I always end up with pretty girls who aren't that bright... but think they are, which is even worse...

Dear god... that Brazilian belly dancer and the arguments I'd have with her about ancient Egypt.... urgh..

Normally I would say intelligence, but I don’t think it could be as black and white as that. Yes I would not want a dumb girl, but I also wouldn’t want some crazy intelligent person who couldn’t enjoy a stupid comedy, or some brainless TV every little while, or who made me feel stupid every time she opened her mouth.

However I don’t think a girl could ever be too beautiful for me.


Well I’m sure there are many girls that are too beautiful for me. But you get my idea.

moco

I know loads of good looking intelligent girls.

he's right Jim. i remember reading an article which cited some academic research into the area that found better looking people on average had higher IQs. think it was in Time...

Small chance though compared to saggy tits and droopy ass.

... strongly associated with age; 1% of those aged 60-65, 6% of those aged 75-79, and 45% of those aged 95 or older suffer from the syndome.

I agree somewhat. I think the question really is what weight do you give to intelligence and what to good looks - neither of which are going to be a great indication of the person's personality.

Uhm.. no it's not. All it is asking would you prefer a good-looking dingbat or a intelligent plain Jane (or Jim). You are presented with 2 options, doesn't mean no more exist.

Me reckons you'd be bad at those "Who would you rather shag: X or Y?" games - you'd be all like "Why can't I abstain" or "But you neglecting my option of having a threesome!".

Why should i lie about my beauty and intelligence?
I suspect that your not very attractive.

monkeyfudge

Haha.. well I suspect only an idiot would declare themselves beautiful and intelligent.

Lands Leaving

People missing the point. Yes there are good looking and intelligent people (I said there wasn't as a joke, so don't get pedantic) , I was just asking which you'd go for given the aforementioned option.

ITT: Ugly people try to comfort themselves by thinking that in general they're more intelligent than good looking people but in fact they are wrong.

Yeah quit your yapping,
Tits or gtfo. Nobody cares what you think.

I prefer scarily intelligent people or complete himbos.
Either way one person is so far ahead of the other, that it isn't an issue.

I can't stand fellow moderately bright people, who always have to be right because they simply can't accept that they on the same level as everyone else.

I don't think anyone should have a realtionship with someone they don't find shagalicious.

That's very rude, i bet you don't even have a girlfriend.
And i don't care what you think either.
You're now on my ignore list.

Goodbye.

Great to see Lucy's towering intellect at work there, isn't it?

How exactly are you quantifying these qualities of yours?

IQ tests are pretty absurd if you ask me... but I'll be happy to compare my clinically tested IQ against yours if that's what floats your boat. And beauty is an incredibly subjective thing.

Binomate

I don't need a girlfriend. I just go around using and abusing lots of attractive and intelligent girls. I can because I'm filthy rich. I give bus money though, so it's all good. Now excuse me while I go and cry myself to sleep about ending up on your ignore list.

You sound extremely insecure, don't worry I'm sure there's a girl out there for you somewhere.

gillyfromlyre

It shouldn't matter, my husband looks like a cross between Quasimodo and a 6 foot tall leprechaun and I still love him, even when hes an obnoxious bastard. Looks shouldn't matter

gillyfromlyre

His mother married what can only be described as an ugly oaf and they still get along like wildfire

You're not really selling this ugly obnoxious bastard of a husband very well

Well you're lucky if it works for you. I think what's considered an attractive face is very subjective(imo). I've considered girls beautiful that before meeting I wouldn't have had the slightest interest in, but I'm still shallow when it comes to the figure.
