So even if the girl would look like she's in the late stages of human decay, but has an IQ that would put MENSA to its knees, you would rather have her as a partner than, say, for example, someone who's as beautiful as Eva Mendez or some other goddess with an IQ lower than their waistline?

define "human decay" .....lying, cheating, hurting (excuse the Led Zeppelin), stealing, cynical, cruel, etc.

I would be a lying hypocrite (ugly), if I said I wasn't affected at least somewhat by the visual.

Not sure why we (I) ask these questions sometimes. It usually comes down to degree and purity of intention.

If Beach won't mind, can I just add this to his question:

I really am curious to know, if you would only be permitted to choose one of these two traits in your partner, what would it be? Would you choose beautiful or smart?

No bad intentions, I assure you. Like I said, it came up as a topic one night with friends and I was curious as to what the opinions are here. Thanks for yours.

...The term "odd" being misleading. Perhaps "normally abnormal"???

Sure people in the magazines look "hot", but are you more attracted to the non-airbrushed and accessible?...(ie...as far as "public" figures go, I find people like Samantha Brown (Travel Channel) and Rachel Ray (cooking show) very attractive)

-and/OR (and depending on orientation)-

Do you find a man who prefers the museum to the football game attractive?

Do you find a woman who can belch louder than you attractive? (had to make that a bit extreme because the "dirty blue jeans to elegant gown" is just "a given")

I've seen YOU in a ballgown..


Have you seen ME in a tutu?

I plead the fifth...on the grounds I COULD incriminate YOU!!!





(seriously, go to my page on FB....look for Zoe Jameson.....she DOES wear a tutu when mowing the lawn...her thumnail pic shows it)
