What's more important, beauty or brains?

Of course I agree with you my first answer would be brains. With brains you can do whatever you set your mind to! The one problem is you need to work for it...nothing comes easy...On the other hand being good looking changes things.

If your beautiful you can land a career and not do anything. All you need to do is sit there and look pretty! I think both get you far in life...beauty is easier, but brains get you further!

There is nothing as breathtakingly beautiful as a smart human, no matter the size, shape, color, or creed. No question for me, always brains; the beauty is found within. Cheers~K9.

As girls, teens, and young women, my younger sister, beat me hands down. I truly stood in her shadow. How I envied her.

She was so much more personable, likeable and quite frankly, she was far prettier. Years later, I learned that she envied me for my love of learning and studying............who would have guessed! Today, I have the benefit of experience in various careers, and amable to negotiate for my pay.

Though, I do have some " fine lines" anda touch of grey, my little sister, works for a paltry pay, and looks as thoughshe has lived a haggard and hard life......and she has. I was the bookworm, and she was the party girl.......commanding all the attention. When I saw her recently, I was shocked by her appearance!

If we went into the same job marketplace.........she, although capable, would beseen as " old", I would be viewed as 'experienced', though we both learned our life skill ( cooking) from the same Grandmother. There was a time, that I envied my little sister, today, I wish she had takena different road, and not have been so hard on herself......the hardness, shows. My face is what it is, but she could have studied and still have been pretty.

A woman can not depend upon " pretty" alone........time will rob you of your assest. Still, I adore my little sister, and I so wish that we had remained closer in our adult lives......I very rarely speak of her. She relied on her good looks and entertaining attitude, and they have betrayed her, leaving her, wrinkled, haggard, and in poverty.It is very much like a young sensational, bright star, burning out too quickly.

Brains. I am turned on by intelligence regardless of how someone looks. Those with good looks are expected to succeed more, be paid more, and have better jobs.

They are also treated better. I don't want someone who has been handed everything they have. I want someone who knows what they are doing and has worked hard for it.

This is a really good question. As a woman I think that beauty is more important. As a man, I think that brains is more important.

When looking for a man, I would choose someone that is smart more than good looking. Women can get further in life with beauty in my opinion. It is a little sad, but that is how gender roles go in our society.

I am not sure. I like being right which requires brains. I also like other people accepting what I say at face value, which would be easier if I was good looking.

I guess I would choose brains; and, look for a group of really ugly, stupid people to hang around. That way I could have both.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
