Would you rather...

[DianaBanana]

Would you rather be:

a) Dumb as a rock but the most beautiful person on the planet.

or

b) The smartest person on the planet but hideous to look at.

Which would you choose and why?

[Back]

The smartest, because then I could develop a way not to be so ugly.

<-- TEH WIN!

[Warriorbird]

B if I was still capable of most normal physical actions.

[HarmNone]

Personally, I'm quite happy in the middle. :D

LMAO! Oh come on, pick one.

Isnt anyone here vain enough to pick A?

[Back]

I suppose if I were A, I could coerce all the B's. But then, would I be smart enough to do that?

[HarmNone]

Not on your life, Diana! If I have to be dumb as a rock, I'd go nuts listening to my own internal inanities. ;)

[xtc]

OK I'd rather

hit A (assuming she is female)

a) Dumb as a rock but the most beautiful person on the planet.

and be B

b) The smartest person on the planet but hideous to look at.


and how would this be possible? Just how every ugly guy tags hot chicks, money.

A. I always wonder what it would be like to be stupid. You'd be too stupid to realize it, and with the looks, live a happy life.

[4a6c1]

.....

I would rather be medium on both accounts and have a great sense of humor. :D

[Back]

Modest? But if you had to choose one or the other?

[4a6c1]

:no:

I refuse to answer seriously a question posted by someone who has admitted to being a juggling clown.

~R, (whos probably just jealous she didnt find a nifty job like that.)

[DianaBanana]

I'm not a clown. Not all jugglers are clowns and not all clowns can juggle.

[Kainen]

Smart and ugly.. but thats just like would you rather be rich or thin.. rich duh, you can BUY thin.

[Apathy]

A.

I've met plenty of unbearably stupid people in college and/or with good jobs. Being dumb isn't as big of a handicap in this country as we think it should be.

Besides this is already a fairly accurate description of me.

I thought you posted you wear clown paint? My bad. But I was just making fun anyways. :P

[Miss X]

B. I'm not far off it anyway! ;)

Seriously though, it sort of happened thay way in my family. My sister is really gorgeous but a little bit dumb where as I'm no oil painting but I've done well in terms of education. I'd also rather date a really smart guy who wasn't that physically attractive than a gorgeous guy with nothing interesting to talk about.

If I HAD to choose one, I'd definatly go with A.

[Lomoriond]

I wouldn't want to be A, just because I would be too stupid know I was pretty

And I wouldn't want to be B either, because being the smartest guy in the world would get annoying after awhile... Being wrong adds some spice to life.... and pretending you aren't wrong even when you know you are adds even more spice.... being right all the time would just be boring.

<<I wouldn't want to be A, just because I would be too stupid know I was pretty>>

Beauty sense is far from intelligence. The smartest people in the world can still appreciate the beauty of a beast.

[Snapp]

I'd go with A, for similiar reasons to Bob. Ignorance is bliss. If I was super smart and hideous, I'd hate myself.

[Beerbohm Tree]

B - just by elimination. As A you'd spend your entire life getting exploited, because of your looks, and you're too dumb to see through the fuckers.

Rather that than to hate myself. At least you can use it to your benifit. Of course this begs to ask what type of intellect you lack. Book smarts only or both book smarts and common sense?

[Back]

Looks like the votes in.

Smart > Beautiful

> = PWNS!!!!

[Brattt8525]

Choice A all the way, who the hell wants to be hideous?

[Bobmuhthol]

oh the irony

[Back]

“Irony” comes from the Greek word “eiron,” meaning a man who makes himself appear less than he is.

[Slingblade]

Let's go over some pros and cons:

A.

PROS:

- Everybody wants your sausage

- You can get rich and famous despite the fact you're dumb, because you look good and everyone wants your sausage

- You're too stupid to realize you're dumb, therefore you're not worried about it and go on being happy, rich, and everybody wanting your sausage

CONS:

- You're really stupid, but as stated above, you're too dumb to realize it and since everyone wants your sausage nobody will tell you anyway

- Since everyone wants your sausage, you theoretically have a higher chance of catching a STD and having your sausage fall off, which in turn makes nobody care about your good looks anymore

B

PROS:

- You're smart and might make it on Jeopardy one day

CONS:

- Nobody wants your sausage

- You hit the books and study a lot and probably get a good paying job, but then realize if you were extremely hot, everyone would want your sausage and you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble and exploited your looks to get rich instead of all the hard studying. If you end up NOT getting that good job...

- The carnival will offer you a job in the "Come see this ugly fuck" booth, and since you're still young and bitter at the world, you decide that joining the carnival and getting to "travel" will be fun and good for your life

- You get harassed and beat up for 12 years in school, and in turn hate the world by the time you graduate, and nobody wants your sausage

- You go to college and get good grades, but not even the sluttiest of the college sluts want your sausage and nobody invites you to parties except for the D&D club, whose parties consist of arguing over whether or not a jedi chick could jerk you off without even touching you

- Your girlfriend is made of latex

- You kill your parents because you're smart and figured out that it's their genes that made you ugly

- You go to jail for killing your parents and become somebody's bitch but they don't want your sausage either, only your anus.

- You hang yourself


I think I would choose A.

This sums up my throughts quite nicely.

- Arkans

[DeV]

B during the week and A on weekends.

[Shari]

A

I like Snapp's explanation. Ignorance is bliss.

[Toxicvixen]

A. I would constantly go around flashing people saying "Look at my great boobs!" :D

I would hate B, because I would hate all the stupid people around me. No one could hold a decent conversation except for maybe Stephen Hawking and listen to how he speaks! That exsistance would suck. I choose being dumb and getting some all the way!

A. I would constantly go around flashing people saying, "Look at my great boobs!"

B. I would constantly go around flashing people saying, "OBSERVE HERPES COCK AND LET YOUR EYES BUUURN MOTHAFUCKAS!"

[Asha]

If I was the most beautiful person in the world and yet the dumbest, I'd be perfectly happy as long as someone handfed me sandwhiches.
Also If I was the cleverest yet totally hideous I'd just spend all my time in the dark (like I actually do now) playing gemstone.

Fortunately, I look okay and can feed myself.
I'm happy.

[Jorddyn]

B. Stupidity bothers me. Ugliness, not so much.
