Intelligence or good looks???

[Pacific_Loner]

Interesting. What kind of talent?

Hmmm I would be happier being an amazing musician with average intelligence and looks than being amazingly smart but average looks and artistic talents.

 

[Pacific_Loner]

Intelligence will take u way further in life than looks.

"further" is very relative

 

[R3X]

of course IQ is always better than looks but to me personally,
EQ>IQ

People are drawn to beauty, the problem with being attractive is that you draw in superficial people that don't really respect you. As nice as it would be to look like brad pitt i think it would just make me despise the shallowness of these people. Attractive people draw in a lot of envy and jealousy. I would choose intelligence because i would have to earn that respect and admiration, rather than have it handed to me. You appreciate things more when you have to work for them.

Good looks. Intelligence is terrible when it brings no profit to the intelligent one.

I'd rather be clever and be in love with a real lover forever, instead of looking good and date like nobody does never. (I mean, dating all the time)
I think intelligence Is very attractive too, it's the person inside what shows pure beauty , but of course, looks can do alot too.
But my vote is +1 Intelligence =p

I don't care for neither. I just want to be free of this disease.

Pretty much what I'm thinking too.

 

[Social_Monstrosity]

Looks, I'm fairly intelligent.

 

[coyote]

i'm both intelligent and good-looking

neither one has done me a damn bit of good

 

[DespairSoul]

I'm already pretty smart and I don't like how Brad Pitt looks!! I have no idea what people see in him!!

(George Clooney scares me too. Why do women sigh over him-?? No idea!!)

haha u make me laugh, me either i dont know what they see on both.

 

[StupidWiz]

Good looks

 

[DespairSoul]

I guess is tricky question Yea money what Brad have will be only thing what i will be longing for. I choice intelligence because with intelligence u can make money either and yet u earn honor of people what u done for them. Beauty dies soon and smartness is longer lasting. The best is anyway middle way look ok and have some intelligence

 

[JamesSmith]

Intelligence. I'm not a bad looking guy right now and it hasn't done much for me. An intelligent person would be able to figure things out, and wouldn't need good looks to get what they want out of life. If you think about it, what do we really use looks for besides trying to get laid?

 

[Cynic]

Intelligence is only valued within limited circles like academia, whereas good looks are valued everywhere.

 

[3lefts]

What defines intelligence, what defines good looks?

 

[3lefts]

I don't think there can ever be one solid definition of "good looks". According to scientific research, good symmetry might have something to do with the definition of "good looks".

There are many different ways to be intelligent (eg. social, academic, emotional, artistic etc.). I personally consider academic intelligence the most important one though. That is just how I was raised.

What is your definition of each term?

I don't know that is why I was asking,
Your answers have indeed made me curious.
If it is a matter of symmetry then looks are not important to me. I still don't grasp intelligence. But for a matter or elimination it may be my answer.
As I understand it, academic success is greatly based on dedication. And I do admire dedication.
