Would you rather be handsome or smart?

[madoka]

Assume you could be top 1% handsome but average intelligence or top 1% smart but average looking.

 

[IronWing]

Good looking, one can fake smart.

 

[lxskllr]

Smart. As it is, I'm kind of mediocre in both respects, and I'm cool with that. It's worked alright for me.

 

[LurchFrinky]

Why not both?
But I would seriously rather hang out with ugly smart people than stupid lookers.

Really? You ask why not both? Um, b/c the question is directly asking you to pick one... /smh

 

[Chapbass]

I'd say smart, as long as its not the type of smart who turns into a guy who can never have fun at anything and thinks hes better than everyone. If not (if I DO turn into not very fun at parties), I'll pick handsome all day, and actually enjoy my life.

I think I’m better than everyone else and I still have fun .

 

[zinfamous]

I'm already both. I find such pedantry beneath me.

 

[SKORPI0]

Smart.

 

[Mai72]

When I was in Thailand I'd hear 'Hello Handsome Man."

So, I'm already handsome you see. And smart? Well my mommy says I'm Smart!"

 

[Zanovar]

Im both *shrugs*

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Depends - is smart correlated with ability to make money?

Because if it includes money, looks mean nothing

 

[purbeast0]

While I'm already both, I'd rather be smart because you can always work on appearance. You can't fix stupid.

 

[Newbian]

A smart person can create something to make them handsome.

A handsome person can only look smart until they open their mouth.

Nah man, deep down you’ll always know she doesn’t find you attractive.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Do you think I give two shits at the end of the day heh? Money talks.

 

[HeXen]

I'm average both ways but smarts equal $$$.

 

[mindless1]

To some extent it is hard to separate the two because if you're truly smart (not just book-smart) you're making better choices that tend to make you more physically attractive.

On the other hand if handsome can apply to women then it's a different story, that you can be as dumb as a box of rocks but still have a much easier life because of looks.

 

[Sonikku]

Tesla was brilliant and died penniless.

I'll take the good looks.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hard to decide, I'm kinda average on both sides of the scale. I think if I had to pick just one I'd take smart as that is probably more important for survival. And I can just make myself look handsome with my smartness by creating some kind of special formula or something.

 

[BoomerD]

You is handsome...
You is smart...
You is special...

Just keep repeating that to yourself until you actually believe it.

(none of the rest of us will, but you go ahead...I'm sure it will make you feel better)

Yea, but what about Gates? Imagine rolling into a party with high class wenches. You're Bill F'kin Gates. Billions to blow just because...

You roll in with a million dollar car. You point to the hottest girl and say "lets go party on my island." You grab her hand and jump on your jet with the hot tub. Caviar and $10k champagne for all.

 

[thebestMAX]

Im bored with both these days.
