Intelligence or good looks

[WOMBAI]

What quality do you prefer in the opposite sex (on a long-term basis) intelligence or good looks?

Much as I like someone to look nice - for me intelligence is a prerequisite! In fact - I find intelligence sexy!

[rapunza1977]

Firstly - thank you for sticking up for me Friday. Appreciated!

Secondly, intelligence and great chat!

No point in going out with someone who is drop dead gorgeous but fail on the chat front and intelligence is below par!

I do like a nice pair of shoes too but appreciate that shallow he he

No problem - you were in the right!

Well, he doesn't have to be rocket scientist intelligent but someone who is on a similar level to me definitely is better than a himbo!

[setanta]

If you are possessed of a keen intellect and enjoy the odd session of verbal jousting then looks are irrelevent, unless of course you're totally bet down. I mean unfortunately sight plays a big role in attraction, but as long as you're feminine looking and not a complete troll then it's grand. I'll take intelligence over looks any day of the week.

I have a bit of a thing about hair, smiles and teeth! Like a man with a full, thick head of hair - don't like it when men starting thinning in their 20s, 30s and 40s! Good teeth and sexy smile also fairly important!

Actually thats true! I could never ever date a guy who had bad teeth :( green teeth!! Have to have gorgeous pearlies and looks after them!

Hair is a good thing too however some balding types can look good ha ha Billy Zane and Jude Law to name but a few!

Nice arms is top of my looks list

[rapunza1977]

Also, a non smoker! Could never ever kiss a guy that smoked!!

Also, great hygene is a must!! CLEAN EARS!!

[Stu]

I hate these kind of questions. Both are important in different ways to different people. It's like comparing a book to it's film counterpart. It can't be done.

[Crimson Dynamo]

thin ankles

pointy nipples

these are a few of my favourite things

[InOne]

Women are fickle as ****

[Beastie]

Intelligence. Mmm Simon Baker <3 He has the whole package!

[Shasown]

She has to swallow, without gargling.

[Crimson Dynamo]

how would one judge intelligence but against their own and so that is not a very good basis to judge from?

[Crimson Dynamo]

She has to swallow, without gargling.

why would you wish to ejaculate in her mouth?

[Shasown]

why would you wish to ejaculate in her mouth?

Oh boy!

[Twilight]

good looks obv
i'm has dumb has you can get, so i don't really care about Intelligence tbh.

[WOMBAI]

Please don't pollute my thread with such filth! :nono::hugesmile:

[rapunza1977]

Here here seems to be a thread being dragged to the gutter! Keep it clean.
Bad chat!

[GypsyGoth]

I wouldn't be with someone I found to be dumb or ugly.

[Beastie]

Please don't pollute my thread with such filth! :nono::hugesmile:

This.

Wombai is a classy lady ;)

[*mazedsalv**]

Tbh it would be perfect if the person had both.

I couldnt bear to go out with a girl who is gorgeous but has the personality of a table lamp.
But however, I would really obviously go for good looks as well.

The best of both worlds would be if the girl is pretty, intelligent, great sense of humour and not arrogant... that would be perfect for me.

Not to be harsh, but i wouldnt go for someone that is very "ugly", i know people have different perceptions on who looks good and who doesnt, and i have my own perception. I wouldnt go for someone ugly.... but to the same extent, I wouldnt go for someone who is dumb either.

However being too intelligent would make me feel small, if she is extremely intelligent it will make me look like a numpty, i would love it if she had the same intelligence as me or just a bit smarter. I have about an IQ of about 113. (just above average).

bieng too intelligent would intimidate me.

[Niamh.]

True, Why can't we have it all Wombai?!!!!

[WOMBAI]

True, Why can't we have it all Wombai?!!!!

We can - we're women! :hugesmile:

[setanta]

We can - we're women! :hugesmile:

You have such a low opinion of men lol. We're not all that transparent or easy you know.

[Shasown]

Please don't pollute my thread with such filth! :nono::hugesmile:

Oh its meant to be a serious thread, Sorry, I apologise from the heart of my bottom, I didnt realise.

After all the inference is all Intelligent people are ugly and all good looking people are stupid.

[WOMBAI]

You have such a low opinion of men lol. We're not all that transparent or easy you know.

I know - there are some exceptions! :hugesmile:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Looks :lovedup:

[King Gizzard]

i hate really really really shallow women

[Beastie]

I know - there are some exceptions! :hugesmile:

The exceptions are for us classy women ;)

[setanta]

I know - there are some exceptions! :hugesmile:

Unbelievable. lol. And to think that I sided with you on occassion in some threads but now I know that your sole motivation was to proclaim the virtues of women while at the same time decry men for the loathsome, vile little creatures that we are. Tut tut. You always had an agenda lol.

[WOMBAI]

Thankfully not! We all like a bit of both! :hugesmile: Just interested in people's priorities!

[Shasown]

Well then I stated my priority, I cant abide a woman that spits. What a waste of vitamins and protein.

[Chels]

both.
i wouldn't get with a hot guy who was thick as ****.
but i wouldn't get with an intelligent guy who was a minger either.

adam matthews is perfect then <3

[WOMBAI]

Well then I stated my priority, I cant abide a woman that spits. What a waste of vitamins and protein.

What can I say to that - you have silenced me! :hugesmile:

[InOne]

I trust in women they ****ing screw you over. Shallow bitches all of them

[Shasown]

PMSL I dont believe that for one minute :wink:

[setanta]

Don't be fighting Wombai's fire with fire of your own Joseph. It's not as cut and dry as that with regard to the sexes.

[Chels]

I trust in women they ****ing screw you over. Shallow bitches all of them

D:
thanks joe!

[Beastie]

I trust in women they ****ing screw you over. Shallow bitches all of them

Not all of us! I am no shallow hallow!

[Niamh.]

I trust in women they ****ing screw you over. Shallow bitches all of them

Except Niamh

[InOne]

Prove it then

[LemonJam]

Depends how intelligent. If they're super intelligent I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with them, but somewhat above average intelligence is fine.

[WOMBAI]

Unbelievable. lol. And to think that I sided with you on occassion in some threads but now I know that your sole motivation was to proclaim the virtues of women while at the same time decry men for the loathsome, vile little creatures that we are. Tut tut. You always had an agenda lol.

Are you being serious Setanta - or just your dry sense of humour at work? :conf:

[*mazedsalv**]

What I hate is that women think all men are players. Not the case.
There are loads of decent men!! I hate Facebook groups that say all men are one kind.

We are not all heartless bastards!!! lol

[Niamh.]

Prove it then

You've changed JoeJoe.....................:bawling:

[Chels]

oi im not shallow either

[InOne]

Yeah yeah, of course I've changed, i alway ****ing change

[Niamh.]

Yeah yeah, of course I've changed, i alway ****ing change

I love you JoeJoe :hug:

[bbfan1991]

Intelligence definetly:), but in terms of looks the person would have to be attractive too so a mix of both but definetly personality is more better:blush:.

[Chels]

Yeah yeah, of course I've changed, i alway ****ing change

joe we all love you the way you are babe! :hug:

[setanta]

Are you being serious Setanta - or just your dry sense of humour at work? :conf:

A bit of both really to tell you the truth. I know that you're fighting to right some wrongs when it concerns perceptions and stereotypes surrounding the sexes, and it's refreshing to see that you stand firm in your willingness to confront blatant hypocrisy, but I have a feeling that you hold your own prejudice on the subject too. You're kinda unbalanced in your declarations sometimes. Have you had dealings with absolute a$$holes?

[InOne]

You're cool Chels and Niamh :hug:

[Beastie]

I love Joe too! :D

[Beastie]

Joe is uber cool.

He ain't just your average Joe..

ya kno!

But nearly all my posts today have been made in a light-hearted way - am surprised by your view. I usually put the smiley face there to show that I am not being overly serious. Sometimes there might be a small point to make - but usually in a jokey way! Yes I have strong opinions on the subject - but I haven't taken offence at anyone's posts today - so have not felt the need to make a serious point. It must be my delivery! :conf:

Ah no, I was just raising a point with you that's been niggling me for awhile, that's all. Wasn't really anything to do with one particular phrase or comment from today.

If I have some 'unbalanced' views - they are based on what I see going on around me in the world everyday. Personally - haven't we all had the odd bad experience - but mine haven't been mind altering! I just don't like injustice of any type - not just the male/female kind! So not entirely sure where you are coming from!

I just think you have a generally negative view on men, that's all. Anyway, I don't want to argue over it.

I'd treat you right WOMBAI

Aw - thanks Joe! Pretty feisty yourself! There is good and bad in either sex - you are one of the good ones!

I believe in fate - there is the right woman out there for you - you will meet her when you least expect it!

Hmmmm possible lol but i'm crazy, although, some women dig that ;)

[Chels]

yey :D

:elephant:

[Captain.Remy]

I am quite lucky my girlfriend is both. I've always been quite lucky on this matter. I need a girl who is a leader, a thinker, a front runner. Not a cheesy Barbie doll who always agrees no matter what you do.

But my girlfriend cannot be ugly either. :hugesmile:

[Patrick]

PMSL

What a stupid question.

Looks.

[Beastie]

PMSL

Lol Patrick.

Patrick wants to pop his cherry.

[WOMBAI]

PMSL

What a stupid question.

Looks.

So you would be quite happy for every girl you meet to judge you on that basis alone - boy I hope you are one good-looking bugger - or you will have to pray that those you meet are not as shallow as you!

He's still a virgin, so yeah... :hugesmile:

[Tom]

Somewhere in the middle but I'm lucky to have a girlfriend who is both, but she annoys me because shes cleverer

I couldn't shag a minger but I couldn't get on with a bimbo

[Captain.Remy]

That happens to me too. We can have full long debates for hours over something very random. But I'd rather this than a dumbie.

[30stone]

I think im one of the only ones but my girlfriend is kinda smart but shes slow typical blonde quite dappy..

I find it cute/sexy.
and she looks hot so i dont mind :)

[Jords]

Personality > Intelligence > Looks

But looks are needed at least to the extent that I feel physically attracted to them. :)

[sooty]

It is very difficult for me to say either intelligence or good looks.
If I have to choose, good looks may be the second.

My dream man is a novel's character, Sydney Carton.
He sacrificed his life for the person he loved. How romantic!

Also I like Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre. I do not think he is good looking but quite strong character.

I do not mind about men's hair very much as I find an actor Ed Harris very sexy.

[Tom4784]

I'd say neither really, it's more about personality for me. I love a looker don't get me wrong but without a good personality behind the looks there's just nothing to a person for me. My perfect girl's the mix of all three, somebody reasonably attractive,who's got a good perosnality and sense of humour and who is intelligent as I like a good discussion.

[Deirdre]

I could not go out with someone who's thick. It would drive me up the wall.
You also learn from people who are more intelligent than you, so I'd like my bf to be more intelligent than me.
But looks are also very important in a relationship obviously.
But if he was really smart and average looking, I'd go out with him, definitely.
And if a guy was really good looking but really stupid then I'd go out with him, then dump him after a while LOL.

[InOne]

The chemistry has to be there, so looks do matter no matter what people say, we dress lust up in this thing called 'love'

[sooty]

I believe in fate - there is the right woman out there for you - you will meet her when you least expect it!

Donkeys years ago, one of my close friend collied with a man at a front door in a London store.
She dropped her bag and the man picked it for her.
Then ~~~~~and he became her future husband.
Imagine one of them walked into the store seconds later or earlier,,,,,.

Yes Wombai
I do believe in fate very strongly.

[Damaris]

Personality > Intelligence > Looks

But looks are needed at least to the extent that I feel physically attracted to them. :)

Basically this.
