You can't be both.
Meaning: You can't use your intelligence to make something to become beautiful... and you can't use your beauty to exploit someone into educating you. In other words choose one or the other.
Why? I'm curious which people would choose if given the opportunity to choose.

deepak: You're missing the point. I never said you can't use one for the other... I'm simply asking which one would rather have without being able to HAVE the other.
Obviously you have beauty.

Intelligence.
Age damages beauty but it can never take what truly makes you away. Besides, you can use your brains to make the most of your looks anyway, right?

I believe intelligence is a much better quality than just being beautiful. And in case I get rich, today's medical science can help me enhance my looks. There are lots that can be done. Like they say, these days, it's a person's fault if he or she remains ugly.
But having just beauty with no intelligence, there isn't really much that can be done. Studies show that IQ is somewhat fixed from age 5 years onwards. So no matter how much one studies, he's not expected to become more and more intelligent as he goes along.
Thankfully I don't have to choose for I have both. (",)

intelligent, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. beauty does not last for ever. with intelligence you could somehow be more competitive in the world hence survive, make more money, impress people. In some people beauty only lasts till they dont open their mouth.
However, beauty has its own advantages, you get attention, its easy for beautiful girls to get a job in a man dominated society. some beauties can sleep their way to the top.

intelligence any day
when i was younger i was quite pretty , dumb but pretty lol but i couldnt care less about education , so guess i was quite materialistic , but it didnt get me anywhere at all
now im a little older , not as pretty ( or perhaps not got as much time to pretty myself up with 3 kids to look after ) but ive gained alot of wisdom and tried to educate myself as best i can
and in comparison , i feel more confident and a stronger person with some knowledge behind me than i ever did when i had physical beauty and i feel that the confidence i have now carries in a beautiful way

Gotta go with intelligence. Beauty is only skin deep and goes away sooner than most peoples memory.

what u r saying is false . u can use ur intelligence to make some one beautiful and you can use ur beauty to make someone intelligent . it depends on ur +ve attitude. As educated designers and beauty parlours do so . and beauty girl can bend on the knees to men

Intelligence. The simple reason is because, well, it provides a better use for everyday life. You can handle almost any situation given to you.
