Given the choice, would you rather be smarter or more attractive?

Reason, and reason again
Since I'm already the most attractive person on Earth, and my intelligence surpasses Einstein's own - at his peak! - this question is invalid. :D

With the right knowledge I can make myself more attractive. Being attractive doesn't mean I will ever have knowledge.....;)

Intelligence would be a more attractive feature to those I'd be interested in associating with than physical appearance would.

Niether. If I were any smarter or any more good looking, the universe would implode.

That would be the best choice.

Generally speaking, people who have IQs above 160 have trouble with socialization and sometimes have trouble accomplishing anything in any particular area because their interests are so broad and varied. Problems increase markedly for people with IQs over 180 or so, and I think people with IQs over 200 are almost certain to experience a profound sort of isolation. (I believe I've observed this in real life, having known some extremely intelligent people.)

So given a choice between being smarter or better looking, I'd go for the looks. I'd like to be smarter, but not a whole lot smarter. I think I would enjoy being a whole lot better looking.

I'm comfortable with how I look and my level of intelligence, but I could use a healthy dose of "street smarts" and "how to make small talk and be social smarts". :)

Well, that's a trick question for me. I couldn't be more intelligent, knowledgeable or physically attractive. :cool:

Depends Upon My Mood..
Since my mind twirled around already for 10 minutes pondering this question.I guess I'll have to say I couldnt pick..Even though I want to say brains.But then I keep remembering my nose is really crooked.I really could use more brains.But then again I really would love for my nose not to be so twisted.

Maybe if I had more brains I could actually pick one though.Or maybe if I was better looking I could too.

I just dont know..

Love

I would choose to be better looking than I already am, as I'm more satisfied with my intellectual skills them I am with how attractive I am.

More intelligent - looks are far easier lost, and I have more options available to me should I be more intelligent rather than better-looking.

EDIT: My newly-gained intellect has told me that by choosing more intelligence, I could always go and get cosmetic surgery to become more beautiful.
