two pills - red and blue

[Mise]

Well I'm already both beautiful and smart, so I wouldn't take either.

But to answer the question, the 2nd one, because an IQ of 40 is really quite out of the question.

Would my intelligence allow me to transfer my consciousness to the body of a sexy robot?

 

[emzie]

Unless my intellectual abilities were able to change paradigms, I'd prefer to be too stupid to know how stupid I am.

However, 40 IQ is severely mentally disabled. To the extent that I don't think anyone would want to bang you.

 

[Marla_Singer]

I go for beautiful and dumb.

I didn't pick that option because I'm superficial. It's simply that being beautiful and dumb are two reasons to feel happy about life.

The lesser you know, the happier you are. The prettier you are, the happier you are.

I'll say beautiful and dumb with the clarification in thread that you wouldn't be completely mentally incapable of doing anything by yourself (as the original number of OP would suggest, I think). "really really dumb" is different than mental retardation.

being ugly is fine but I wouldn't want to be so overweight and never be able to control it, as per conditions of thread. Even assuming a more reasonable "totally overweight" number than the number in the OP, which would be like a morbidly obese person for their height or something that couldn't do anything, that would have a lot of challenges.

I would choose smart and ugly if the ugly was like overweight (but not so obese) and with some other problem, like say a burn mark on your face that left a romantically/aesthetically undesirable scar/skin but a normal face otherwise.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case.

What's that American Dad line about being "******** hot"?

Notice the body language. What's going on here, eh?

I bet this chick Gets Locked Out of her Controvertible

You don't need to roleplay your choice.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Smart and ugly, because beautiful would only serve me from about 16 to 40-ish. Smart will serve me a lifetime.

 

[Quackers]

I would go for handsomeness and 60 IQ.
If your life was like the second one you would be a social pariah and i need people to talk too.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well, there's always the other smart and or ugly people.

What do you think the internet is for?

 

[Farm Boy]

I'm going to assume a degree of flex in the original example, such as the dumb person isn't incapable of living alone and is largely non-functional. I'm also going to assume the smart person isn't so unhealthy as to be dead of a heart attack a month after the choice is made. Those caveats in place -

I guess I would go with -eh- it doesn't really matter, lets go with ignorance is bliss for this specific case. Love is bigger than either looks or smarts and that's the key to a "good life" in any case.

 

[JohnRM]

I can't be THAT smart, if I weigh 500 lbs.

 

[Borachio]

Why not? You might have some metabolic disorder. Or even diabetes can mean you have to gain weight, can't it?

Or you might just have high density.

Or there's that disease where you never stop feeling hungry no matter how much you eat.

 

[LamaGT]

I'd probably suicide :/ Of those two I'd pick the first because I simply would be too stupid to understand that I'm an idiot.

I love compromises, so i'll pick the "fairly smart but not particularly good looking" pill

 

[Gigaz]

As a man this is hardly a difficult choice. Stephen Hawking has three children.

I could claim that I wouldn't date a woman who is really dumb but sadly, that's not true. I smile and nod like every sensible man would.
