Good looks may get you an orgasm, but it won't get you into Oxbridge.

I'd pick intelligence purely because when you die you leave a legacy behind of achievements and knowledge to inspire to others... You've learnt something from this life, what is the point if it is not to flourish intellectually as a human being...E.G. Isaac Newton etc. etc.

whereas extreme beauty....

You leave behind nothing but an average life filled with vanity.

For me, it is nothing to do with earning money or 'doing well' career wise, it's really your personal achievements in flourishing within society.

Personally, I'd rather be Stephen Fry than Channing Tatum

What a weird, yet beautiful comparison.

An orgasm is more rewarding..

But some people may value the former over the latter.

Extremely Intelligent, as in genius people are often pretty poor socially aren't they?

In which case I'd go for the extremely attractive.

I'd go with intelligence - interesting conversation is more important to me than looking good.

Intelligence over apperance.

I'm also more attracted to intelligent guys rather than good-looking... Also, the beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder :wink:

Intelligence over looks. Your looks don't last forever after all

Good looking

Well what intelligence really is is a matter we can discus over for houres long....

For example a person also can have sexual intelligence,,,,

Got a question, which is worse, being loved just for your money or just for your looks?

First I was thinking extremely good looking just to see how that would be like,and maybe looks could open more doors to become successful etc.

Though being extremely intelligent would most likely be more rewarding and that in itself can be an attractive trait. But it does depend on what you mean by extremely intelligent-I mean in all areas,not being socially inept.
