Would you rather be ugly or stupid?

[stratego]

What is a higher priority for you; your looks or your intelligence? If you absolutely have to chose to either be ugly or be stupid, what would you choose?
Please try to refrain from choosing one or the other simply because you have experience in that field, but rather choose from your heart.

Love and happiness make my world go round.

Which reduces happiness the most? I'd try to avoid that one

 

[lord_yoshi]

I rather be ugly than stupid... At least I can live longer.

 

[E-Raser]

Unfortunately I have no choice, I'm already both

 

[Plexus]

Ugly.

Though it has been said that ignorance is bliss.

 

[Drewcifer]

Ugly.

I find I get more action from being smart rather than good looking.

 

[silver 2039]

Ugly I prize my intelligence too higly to let it go simply for looks.

 

[~Corsair#01~]

I'm smart and good-looking!
Having experienced both, I like my intelligence more.

 

[Longasc]

I would rather be stupid.

I would not worry and reason so much, would not have to reason too much about difficult things and really pretty people always get through - just by looks!

Strange and sad, but true.


In my next life, I want to be a pretty dumb blonde.

Me too....

At the risk of sounding heartless, I'd say that an intelligent ugly person (we're talking Quasimodo here) MINDS that other people are staring at him, while a good-looking ****** is too far in his own La-la land to even care about other people.

Sometimes, I envy the totally insane, who don't need to strive at all in this rat-race world of ours.

Yeah I wanna be so dumb that I don't realise that there's so much wrong with the world....... *cough* Bush *cough* Personally I don't value my intelligence a great deal. I'm not dumb, but I'm not that clever either. I'll never be particularly famous - there are very few people in this world who are famous (or will be remembered) for their intelligence, and no-one really values a great mind that much. OTOH, you can be super hot and people will remember you purely because you're super hot, like movie stars. Not that I particularly want to be remembered, just that I don't want to be particularly intelligent either, so I may as well go for the one that would be the most fun

I'd rather be stupid because of what Dann said.
If I'm stupid but good-looking at least I could be blissfully ignorant. But now that I think about it it really depends on how stupid and ugly I would be.

 

[The Yankee]

I'd rather be able to understand things than worry about what I look like in the mirror for the first 40 years of life. Besides, I'm already ugly!

 

[King PJ]

If your good looking and stupid, you can get the chicks.
If your ugly and intelligent, you will make alot of money from a high paying job due to your IQ. And money means that chicks will dig you. Either way, you get the ladies. Thats what I'm talking about! Hell yeah!

 

[CurtSibling]

Ugly people control the world.

Beautiful people are just cattle for the media.

It's that simple.

 

[Sanaz]

I'd take both ugly and stupid, if I were rich.

If I had to choose between ugly and stupid, I'd take ugly. Looks don't last anyway, so if I chose stupid for the last 50 years of my life I'd be ugly and stupid anyway.

 

[The Last Conformist]

@Sanaz: You could always die young.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

Intelligence is far more important.

 

[Marla_Singer]

Let me think ...

No.
It's now sure, if I had the choice between being pretty and being smart, I would pick being pretty.

We can always improve our intelligence afterwards, however, when we're ugly, it's really hard to become pretty.

 

[Azadre]

Stupid people are manipulated.
