WHATS MORE IMPORTANT BRAINS OR BEAUTY??Page 4 of 5    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Think of this question and ask yourself another question the next time you are out on a new date. "If I were blind, how would I feel about this person?"

Beauty comes from within. Try to feel if they are beautiful, don't think it, because logic and beauty should never run in the same sentence.

Hmmmmm.... I find the combination of both to be irresistible, .... and perfect.

I never get tired of telling her this, ....she never tires of hearing it.

You can't buy brains but you can buy beauty (plastic surgery). Having both is certainly a winning combo.

Think of it this way. In the back of the eyeball all of our images we see are upside down and somehow the brain arranges it back so we see everything the way it should be. Uh, what was question again?

"You can't buy brains but you can buy beauty"

I disagree, ....many "buy brains" and display them framed, on the wall of their home or workplace........... the assumption is that they are educated.

Most of the time, I just see people that are skilled at rote and regurgitation.

"Brains" too, can be an affectation, ....something I've had to deal with as a proudly "self-educated" human being. Society says my "brains" aren't worth as much, .....regardless to whether I can apply them to solving problems and/or creating ideas better than many with the paper that 'says" they can.

How many women are looking for a "Professional" or "Post-secondary" educated male using this criteria.......

Brains, ....like beauty,

...are in the eye of the beholder.

I was going to say brains ... but after seeing your pic, Chelz2, I couldn't give a flying rip about your intellectual capacity. So, for eg, if we were hypothetically out on a date and you said, "could care less" rather than "couldn't care less," then I might be slightly annoyed, but after looking at you again, I couldn't care less.

ugly mercedes or good looking one . Good looking ford festiva ?

I want what you want - questioner.

When you're young to fit in and be happy about -YOURSELF- you want the hottest (brains might not matter - you're not talking anyway - you're screwing)

When you're older (to marry or whatever longterm whatever)
You want someone healthy but your FRIENDS opinions matter less
cuz that group falls off (and you jsut work ;/hom work hom out/work home out) anyway

So, young = looks
Older = compromise

heheh

I'm older any tired worn out good looking people heheh that want to hold a conversation with me... thanks peeps great question.

the biggest most sensitive organ - brain (oh baby) I'm embarrassed....know they KNOW I'm a fool.

It is a tricky one. Let's say I would consider breeding with this woman. A beautiful woman would most likely be bringing a good set of genes to the table, whereas a less beautiful but intelligent one might be better at raising them. So the solution could be to have kids with the beautiful woman, get her out of the picture and then bring in an intelligent one. Sounds fair when one thinks of the children. Give them a good headstart genetically and then a rich intellectual environment to grow up in.

Another choice would be an R-WMC grad.

Ah ... the dreaded question. Brains, so that she is intelligent enough to cook, clean, pay bills, raise children, and still have enough time to let you watch football with your friends... or ... beauty... so that she has the perfect legs, the perfect body, the most kissable lips, and the softest, most shimmering hair that you could ever imagine in existance. To be honest, I find neither to be terribly important. When two people meet, in order for there to be an emotional molecular attraction of any sort, they must look past both. If all you see is a mask of intelligence, you are doing almost as well as if you see a mask of body, and the mind of a****oach. I mean really, I know a hundred men that would love to date Kelly Bundy. But when their IQ is smaller then the number of piercings they have, can an intelligent man really be happy dating them? By the same token, I know a hundred men that would go insane just to date somebody that could keep a decent conversation with them. But if the woman looked like Dennis Rodman without the goatee, do you really think they could make it work? I think if the chemistry was there, either situation is extremely feasible. The people around you may look at you and go "What in the heck are you thinking?" But the great part of it is, nobody owes an explanation for happiness. If brains make you happy, shop for girls at a library. If bodies make you happy, shop for girls with my brother-in-law. If the question is more in depth then my answer, it's probably because I spend too much time with my brother-in-law...lol.

It's easy to "do" sarcasm in text if one exploits form and syntax, .......when it's clever I laugh with, .....if it ain't I laugh at.

Either way? .....I laugh a lot.

Brains AND beauty (with beauty being a subjective experience as opposed to an objectified quantification).

It's all subjective bro' .......brains and beauty.

Love is a lot of things, ....none of which are truly objectifiably quantifiable, .....no?

It's almost a Cartesian Dualism / Uncertainty Principle, thang, ....y'know?

Mind over matter in an unpredictable dynamic matrix......

....or not.
