Is it better to be Physically Attractive or Intelligent?

[cute_pompom]

I think guys would be interested in girls who are both intelligent and attractive. Guys are visual beings so there should be attraction first. Then of course during the getting to know stage, intelligence is one of the factors that will make them decide if they would pursue the girl.

[maria helga]

Being extremely attractive na lang since madali na lang makuha lahat ng bagay pag maganda ka. May halo effect daw kasi yan. People think na beautiful people are, in general, kind, talented, and intelligent. Sa mundong ' to, intelligence alone is not enough. Mas aasenso ka kung may charm ka at maganda.

[lonelymiss28]

i would rather be intelligent than beautiful.

[GreenArcher]

you can be attractive and intelligent at the same time diskarte lang haha

Others can be attractive for some people matter of perspective pwede sabihin ng iba hindi ka attractive tapos para sa iba naman attractive ka its really hard to conclude. So just think that you are attractive
Minsan tamang effort lang can help like grooming.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

There's no such thing as ugly woman naman, they're just being lazy and being lazy when it comes to beauty is a major no no for me. Haha!

[sacred cow]

^ wow, you must be a really kind person to say na wala talagang ugly person

[TysLolakins]

i want to be both  .
but if i have to pick one,  siguro i'll choose 'physically attractive' na lang.  only because we live in a society where everyone is judged and treated accordingly based on one's looks.  applying for a job,  white breads are favored more or given more chances.  sa restaurants, hotels,  banks,  beautiful people seem to be treated better than the plain looking ones, regardless of their intelligence.  actually nga,  people are more forgiving of attractive people.  why is that we ask right?  para tuloy it's ok/acceptable for attractive people to be not so smart.  haven't you heard of the 'dumb blonde' expression.
it should not be this way, but that's the reality of it.  if you are supermodel gorgeous,  you have the whole world at your fingertips.

I'd rather be intelligent than be pretty with no brains....

sa experience ko naman with the companies I worked for...di naman tumitingin sa physical...more on the qualifications cyempre saka sa pagsagot mo sa interview at exams...

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Quite a difficult choice to make, most especially if you are already one or the other.
By that, I mean, if you are currently physically attractive, then it's difficult just let that go and all its advantage to have a taste of what's on the other side of the fence.
As for the intelligent ones, it's also quite hypocritical to let go of the brainiac in you just so you can strut your stuff like a model.
I guess, it would be great if you're sufficient in both aspects.
However, if only given one to choose from, I will choose to be more intelligent than be physically attractive. I don't intend to be just intelligent, but I would like to stand out and be recognized for my intelligence than for my beauty. Again, that's just me!

[little_princess]

Rather be really intelligent. I can always go to Belo to be beautiful 

[purple.strawberry]

Difficult choice indeed. For me, basta kung anong gift nakuha mo use it. Haha.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^^ Or if not Belo, whoever it is who can give you the face you desire. Now, I am thinking Korea.
^ Couldn't agree more. As in totally use your "gift" to your advantage and with that thought alone, there is intelligence flowing through from the get go. And so, now that I am thinking about it, the extremely attractive (who make use of this gift to the fullest) exhibit a form of intelligence by simply doing so, while others don't even think it --- they just thinks it's a package, so whatever perks they get is simply part of the package.

well kasi ang pagiging pangit pwede namang gawan ng paraan

[little_princess]

A person doesn't even have to go under the knife to be attractive, make up can change how you look. The right make up though 

[molybdenumstudios]

Being intelligent na lang.

[p0isonIvy]

intelligence is sexy. how a girl carries herself, how she speaks, her manners, the whole thing, all boils down to whether she has some brains or not.

i dont know pero super turn off for me (and im a girl ha) when someone who is sexy or pretty, pero pag nagsalita na, parang walang breeding or parang taga-kanto lang. minsan sa pagsasalita pa lang kasi malalaman mo na kung may laman ba utak o wala.

so yeah, still, intelligence pa din. that never fades eh

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Exactly. Tsaka gluta haha.

[zarazan]

My professor said na pag "maganda ka", half of your problems are solved na. Which is true sa society na to.  There are super intelligent people na hindi attractive, and find it hard in life. Matalino, pero walang charm, di ka rin mahahire or people won't appeal to you.

For me, siguro "attractive" nalang. Intelligence, nahahasa yan. Napapag-aralan. Depende rin sa diskarte sa buhay yan. If sobrang madiskarte ka, even though not super intelligent, most likely, you'll succeed too.

[p0isonIvy]

Siguo nagkamali ako nung sinabi ko ng ayoko ng matalinong babae. Ang ayoko pala eh yung babaeng nagmamarunong at mas marunong pa dun sa gumagastos, which is obviously the guy.  Kung yung babae naman ang gumagastos para sa kanyang banidad, eh, ganun pa din yun. I'd still prefer that humble, docile sexy woman over the woman who tries ever so hard to appear domineering.

^ haha may kilala akong ganito!

heheh physically attractive...kasi ang katalinuhan, gaya nga ng sabi sa naunang posts eh pwedeng pwede sya magbasa ng madaming books or mag aral ng ilang beses heheh

i think intelligence is innate and genetic. so you are either born with it or not, just like looks. pareho din pwedeng ma-enhance by yeah studying or reading. pero kung hindi ka talaga gifted in the brains department, no matter how many books u read, hindi din naman yung magssink in sa yo kasi hindi mo nga naintindihan.

i remember i had a coworker before na cum laude dw in one of the universities sa u-belt. may itsura naman pwedeng pang model. pero my gosh, kaloka talaga as in matutuyuan ka ng dugo sa kakaturo ng trabaho. pero lagi ko nakikita kesyo nagbabasa sya ng mga pocketbooks ni john grisham etc. feeling ko poser lang talaga. may ganun pala?  feeling matalino? just like merong mga feeling maganda haha

[p0isonIvy]

di naman most guys, unless you are saying that most guys are shallow as well.  pero in general, yung mga hindi capable na guys would want their partners to be less capable than them para feeling matalino/maabilidad sila kahit hindi.

^ kainis ang mga ganyang guys na insecure sa smart girls. they should be proud pa nga eh if their girl is smart. sympre by association kasi yun eh. the fact na pinili sila nung smart girl is because more or less nagkakaintindihan sila. pero ang dami nga namang mga chauvinist dito na ayaw maapakan ang ego nila, theyd rather settle for the ones who are meek and mild and madaling pasunurin na mga babae. those kinds of men should be avoided at all cost.
