    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.

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

    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
    There is a life after sex...

    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...

    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.

    It seems to me like you have really thought about this

    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.

    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.

    Damn my low post count! This is a perfect opportunity for the old "You must be new around here" joke - this is After Hours after all.

    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!". :D

    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.
