How are looks and intelligence distributed?

@C0pper from the Cambridge threads is incredibly beautiful and incredibly smart at the same time

I used to think looks and intelligence kinda went hand in hand.

On one side you had the well-settled rich kids who were slim and wore nice clothes and ended getting a 2:1 or above. And then you had the fat loners that couldn't afford anything and scraped through their exams.

But that was at Oxford. And most people were in the former category and very few in the latter category.

Out in "the real world" I am coming across so many good-looking girls that are just thick. I can't physically fake enough laughter anymore. I don't find jokes about "exes" and little immature anecdotes funny AT ALL. I physically can't stand most of the good-looking girls I meet. They are so insanely superficial. And then the interesting girls are mostly pretty unattractive.

So what does a guy do

And only in PACES does Cambridge do badly but thats because they used to take in LOADS of medics and lose all their best ones to oxford. Now they don't. So they'll come up a bit soon.

If you want to leave Medicine and do a job in the city. You are not going to get anywhere with a medical degree that isn't UCL/Imperial/Oxbridge.

Both are signals of good genetics well they used to be these days its difficult to tell. They are signals of good genetics thus these are more likely to be passed down as darwins theory suggests. Intelligence as it increases probability of survival and thus reproduction beauty as it increases probability of reproduction. Thus a correlation in the likelihood of these characteristics being passed down together is likely to be seen bear in mind its not limited to just these characteristics this is an extreme over simplification. Have you heard the term 'freak of nature' this I believe expresses the rare chance that someone is naturally intelligent but not beautiful and vice versa however these days it appears more prevalent mainly because of artificial enhancements (often difficult to do both as in study and maintain appearance with makeup) therefore (partially) explaining what you see.

Survival of the fittest also plays a smaller role in modern societies therefore also being a factor. Further explanation of this is probably needed but would be a waste of my time.

Inb4 someone hijacks my post.

Any luck after your date from the other night mate?

Dope phone case m9!

Looks and intelligence go hand in hand

Look at me I'm the proof

There is correlation. I went to a uni not so high on the league tables and the eye candy was very poor.I switched unis and eye candy is much better. Then I look at the met students near our uni and the eye candy look terrible.

Oxbridge eye candy looks like someone took a dump on some expired candy. Imperial eye candy is basically all asian dudes. There's either no, or negative, correlation here, exceptions notwithstanding.

Lol do you have any credible evidence to support your pseudoscience ****? Anyone with a basic understanding of natural selection knows that it cannot be applied to a situation like this. Survival of the fittest lol... ugly dumb people aren't put out to die
