Brains or beauty
By volleygirl5 •
If you could only have one, which would it be? Brains or beauty?
*This assumes that you would NOT be beautiful and mentally handicapped or super clever but with face like the back of a bus. The point is which is better and which is more important for happiness and success?
I think I shouldn't have posted here because I don't believe that there are stupid people. A person with no education might know something that a rich guy might not... For me brain is a given we're born with it we just need to use it, I'm not saying it literally though it does too. Beauty fades as we grow old but we gain wisdom through the years.
she must be beautiful to domain the man,and clever to control him.
but you know what?!! beauty is only to have the first attraction then what remains is intimacy,love,and intelligence to keep this relationship.
so i think it is "brain".
WK: So, are you hoping your beauty will make up for your lack of brain?
Rupal, you can disagree but what it comes down to is what a person desires to be, not what they are perceived to be in the public eye. Not all people are or think they are beautiful and the same goes for smarts. If you are already a braniac you would wish for beauty and vice versa n'est pas?
I disagree canukexpat .... both brain/beauty are relative, one can want to be more beautiful, and one can try to be more smart, we all fall on same side of fence. The question is what will you choose to be successful. As lanin rightly said, best choice will be brain, supported by beauty...don't u think so?
Some have one, some have one of the 2, and some people just don't have any of either.
Less attractive people want to be beautiful, dumb people smart. Guess this question is subjective depending on what side of the fence they are on.
I also think a lot of people would lie about this when asked as it is deemed "silly" to be superficial.
good topic....
my thinking is brain should be the best choice and beauty is supportive for some special case....
so its time to change the perspective may be....as these days women do get chance to prove their brain as well :-)
its nice to have both, and as you asked for one only i would go for brain for a successful life in the future.
unfortunately men these days look for the outside shape only knowing nothing of the inside including me.
I think Brain. If u have brain, u can make yourself look beautiful. An example, I saw a very poor, non brainy child in India who had exact features like one of the greatest film actress of India, but unfortunately she didn't even had brain to understand that. As far as happiness n success is concerned brain will be always handy :-)
brain - refers to an organ of a living things, specifically belonging to the fauna kingdom (animals kingdom)regardless of its classification..., and compose of left and right hemisphere.
brains - refers to the intellectual, wisdom, iq or other words synonymous.
Beauty or brains? logical answering it, it differs, defending on your major and minor premises.... for example:
1. beauty - major premises and brains - minor premises,
2. brains - major premises and beauty - minor premises.
Iin other words, all your answer is correct.
Heck there's always make up =D
Brains is what I would prefer.
Beauty can b attained...a nip and tuck here and there, a personal trainer can work magic on you.
Well I do respect every person with a lot of respect..not just dat dey r old or sum1 of ur age.. Ur in QL for years, do I have anything to do with dat?
I'll say dat vie been in my mothers tummy for 9months , now I think dat makes sence.. Coz deer's a reason behind.. Wat silly reason cud it b for u to stay in QL for years? Anyways not interested to know it either.. I respect every human on this earth but I think every person creates his/her own selfrespect. Which ur trying to lose in me but I still try to respect u.. Callin u big mama wasn't my rudness side.. Ur age is over 60 wat do u want me to call u? Granny?
Brain, because besides being smart, superficial beauty can easily be achieved.
Brain. Beauty can be fake nowadays anyway.
Oryx you are blessed with both beauty & brain :o)
And pardon my behaviour, I don't have any brain :(
Brains are forever. Beauty fades no matter how good the plastic surgeon is.
I hope you treat your grandparents with more respect....
The older generation worked hard for those of us who come after - remember that.
I have been on QL for many years a lot of people know me so just cool down. And for your info I am not a mama and I am not big. I have that profile so people like you dont send me frend sheep pms... i got very fed up of them.
As u say big mama, but don't u think ur very old to comment on here??
BEAUTY is a relative term. I choose BRAINS.. It can lead you everywhere you want to be, beauty can't.
I didn't go.. Had gone for a movie with a friend.. By the way you have both beauty & brains or just the beauty :-P
Hey tinky.. Weekend was fine or is fine since I am home today as well :P
How r u....
Scotia even I found your "joke" in the other thread in poor taste btw.
Exactly WK, she should get a sense of humour and take my joke in here for what it is, a joke, not act like an upset child who is butt hurt over an internet comment. Anyways I am out of this thread, she probably already got some pills out to overdose over my comments.
Don't drag disagreements of one thread across all threads.
It was a good suggestion I must say, hitler did it, and he was also a racist idiot.
You mean the 100 posts you chased me around with your essays and now you are upset about my one sentence in a public thread? What a fantasy world you live in! LOL!
Thanks WK :)
You should see the sick stuff he wrote on another thread. Suggested I go and kill myself.
LOL...
So what part of "stop stalking me" don't you understand? Your worse than my little brother's friends. What an attention-seeking little boy you are. You're not even a man enough to be scary. Just sad.
Don't flatter yourself, this is a public forum and everybody can comment on the threads made on here. Or are you one of those types suffering from 'Doha syndrome' and think every man in the city wants you? LOL at the idea of me pming you, please...
Of course, BRAINS..
But BEAUTY too plays an important role in one's life.."Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" so it doesn't mean that only outer physical appearance is appreciated by others..
Quit stalking me Scotiabank. And no, I will not have a private chat with you, give you my number, or meet you no matter how many times you PM me or follow me around on this site.
Beauty... Because everyone has a brain in a sense. It's just a matter of how you put knowledge into it.
Well Volley all I can say for you is I hope you at least have beauty, ;). LOL
You creepy little stalker looks like you have neither.
Beauty is good cos then you can just marry someone wealthy and not work. Brains means you have to go out and work....
LOL
Only a Face job?
ha ha ha volley and britexpat! couldn't've said it better myself ;o)
exactly britexpat! There was a comedian in the States whose favorite line was 'You can't fix stupid'. A bit of many, a good plastic surgeon and a personal trainer can usually handle the beauty!!!
Brains... Every single time
I'll take the super clever.. Then I can earn oodle sof money and get a face job.. :O)
I'd always prefer a Brain..
(Sorry to point out the grammar mistake.. sorta taking my Toastmasters' role far seriously!)
I changed my mind.. MONEY!! :))
Volley- I feel every woman has beauty..its just the way they carry themselves makes them more or less beautiful..
Brains most definitely! Can't believe this is a topic of discussion.
Did anyone ever get to the top of a success ladder solely because of their beauty??? I don't think so!
Thanx for the great comments everyone! My opinion . . . enough brains will bring wealth and success and that will attract plenty of beauty. But this is probably more true for a man than a woman because women care more about personality and presence that physical and appearance! Am I right ladies??? ;)
Beauty.She can leave her brain at home for a while :)
some of my friends from the philippines used to call me gagu..so i guess i need brains..:)
can't it be both....... like bnb ;)
brain comes first no doubt, but at some point of ur life beauty counts more ....:)
at present time in life I would prefer Beauty.. You know getting old is not fun..:)
gaga!!can i have both?seriously,of course brain.i dont think i can live without brain.can you?beauty fools me a lot.
i prefer brain bcz human brain is most outstanding thing.......it functions 24hrs 365 days.....
it functions right from the time u r Born , until you fall in love
without brain no beauty
Life is an exam and war is one of its question.
Beauty is often used for females and for the men is always the grace.
u said-"if u want healthy and wealthy life then u need to get both."
if no beauty thn no healthy n wealthy life.... naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ... sorry cant agree wit ur view..
Saeed- life is a kind of war. isnt it??? u need to fight for ur survival.
if u r beautiful, u have already won half battle of life...the rest will be on brain. thats what I have seen and have experienced.
Gudone- if u want healthy and wealthy life then u need to get both. for me no choice or preference.
As much as I love beauty - in a partner (I think that's what your question is about) I'll go for brains.
When it comes to beauty... there're always art galleries, fashion shows and E-News ;o)
as ur name says.. but poster askd choose one thn???
i will prefer both...
of course brain....
As to my opinion , dis question should b answered by blondes n it's better dat way
I always prefer brain..
I don't know if ur beautiful but I'm sure uve got no brains. Hav left u a PM long back n replies still. If ur not interested say no at least other dan keeping sum1 waiting .. It creates hatness ..
errr..... both?
Brain no doubt.
You can live without beauty
but
without brain
you can not.
