Lets say looks and brains are rated on a scale of 1-100 each.

The easy question. How many points of physical looks would you trade for points of brains if you could.
Would you trade brain points for looks instead?

Now the harder question. Which sex do you think would do the most trading of looks for brains?

My answers-----I would give up 10 points of looks for brains and maybe 20. At least until I get through college and then I would want my looks back.

I think women would do less trading of looks for brains. I say this not because I think women are shallow but because men are. Women know men are more into how a woman looks then (or is it than) how smart she is.

who are you and why arent you talking to me!

i like a smart woman, looks for me im not very picky with

NO

I tried that and she turned out to be a lying *****

that's too much math for me!

i wouldn't give up either looks or brains. i never settled and i've ended up with a very handsome man who is quite bright - the best of both worlds.

none of the first 3 guys answered the question.

I got about a 50-50 deal on that stuff already and I'm fine. NO DEAL, HOWIE!!!

Men prefer looks of course.

I wouldn't trade any.

I need someone with an IQ of around 160. Maybe 155 if she likes doing laundry and can discuss Hannes Alfven's Plasma Cosmology theories intellectually.

But as far as dating sites are concerned, having brains is tantamount to having leprosy.

Not where I live they don't, LOL

huh???????????????

I'd like both.

I give up nothing...maybe that's why I've been getting nothing.

Isnt 160 the genus super smart level? Man, i thought my standards were high. Arent there certain types of forums that attract more genus people? I am thinking poetry or science forums.


"But as far as dating sites are concerned, having brains is tantamount to having leprosy. "

I wont have leprosy until after college. My dad says i better double my intelligence for all the money he is paying to put me through school.

So far no one is willing to give up some physical appearance in exxhange for more brain power? Except me?

Guess I am the only one that wants more intelligence

Looks fade, brain unless of some disease stays.

So i prefer my brain (or what have of) any day over more looks.

As for my better half I'll choose brain over looks to, if she has a brain she will know what button to push for me to find her beautiful "cause looks is more than just the physical it's mostly the attitude that makes a woman beautiful for me.

This is kind of a situational rhetorical question. It would depend on the situation.

I would trade for looks when the bedroom is concerned, and I would trade for brains when talking and intellectual conversation is concerned.

"looks" are temporary....and climate controlled by the media...

Wisdom, is by far a higher commodity I wish to trade in, even moreso than intellect.

Well, I've never had a good-looking guy, so obviously, I have overlooked that for some other quality in the past. I'm just saying, if I had a preference, I'd like both. But yeah, a stupid hot man gets old in a hurry.

I'd give it up each and every time. You won't keep me happy unless I'm challenged.
