tell me what you think on this subject and please explain your answers.

You should clarify one thing first when you mention about good looking people. Are you talking about people who puts effort into packaging their appearance, or people who generally born good looking (symmetrical face)? And technically knowledge does not last forever either. You see some older folks with slower reaction times, bad memory, and some get scammed...

For me, as long as I have either one I am fine. The key is to knowing how to exploit your strong points.

oh i forgot to explain that one. i mean for packaging their appearence. but when you grow older true knowledge does slip but the appreance is alot worse. it would take them longer to look good then to think on a current event.

If this is about who'd you rather spend your time with (brains vs beauty) then I'd have to say this: I'd rather have both in one package, LOL. No, seriously.

But if I can't have both, I'd gladly take the intellectual. You can keep a "trophy wife/husband" if ya want, but when you decide to have a conversation with him/her, will that person stimulate you intellectually AND physically? Or will they just be one of those purely physical relationships (which I've learned are bad news).

I'd rather spend my time with someone who'd be able to have a real conversation with. Not just about what kind of lipstick they bought or how slutty their friends are. Y'know, talk about real stuff. But like I said earlier... I'd rather have both. Symmetry, y'know?

I think brains make people beautiful. I am very attracted to those people who most people think are geeky or nerdy (like me) . . .

I'd have to go with Brains as well.
There's no sense in having beauty if you're a total dumbass. [no offense]
A boy/girl has to be able look out for themselves and such. If you're stupid but beautiful you could easily be used.
Which is bad.

I go for BRAINS!
Beauty isn't something that can last long anyway!
Come on. Beauty leaves you at the age of 30+. Your memory leaves you around 50+ or maybe it won't even leave you!
Besides, everyone is beautiful somewhere and at certain angle no matter what.
So yes, brains.

Looks dosen't matter to me. I would rather have someone with brains than looks. I want someone I can talk to and atleast give me an intelligent responce. Those who can't think for themselves bother me.
