But if you were really beautiful you could find a rich man to marry and there we go

I'm already both, why would I just choose one? Where's the logic?
Really smart. I value education and intelligence highly but if I was really ugly I can always fix my face if my smartness brings me into a lot of money.
Really handsome because I feel that intelligence is something you can work hard to improve.
I'm already smart enough and I wouldn't say I'm ugly by any means. Most of my appearance problems are things that I could change about myself but just cba. Don't think I'm totally set though, I have plenty of problems like everyone else. Being super poor and my house being pretty grotty for one XD.

Really smart because how I'm I going to get a well paid job without no brains just a pretty face 🤔.

victoria secret model?
Being smart rather than being beautiful lol. Eventually your look will fade however your intelligence will stay forever.:smile:
Looks fade with age. But if you are smart, that won't change. x
Looks most definitely.

Looks can help you find employment and I'm not just talking about modelling jobs, then there is the possibility of marrying a girl from a wealthy background, but for me the real clincher is how much the idea of having sex with a woman who is not physically attracted to me sounds like death.

If you're not bluepilled the answer is very obvious.
I'm honestly not very bothered about my appearance, I would undoubtedly opt with high intelligence.

No one said you can't. The question is about which is more important to you...

Smart, because I will be smart enough to have the ability to know what people think of as handsome and make myself handsome and smart. Two birds with one stone.
