It wouldn't matter, you'd be happy either way.
- if you were wise, you'd understand the relative unimportance of beauty.
- if you were beautiful but not wise, you'd buy into the popular notion that beauty is all-important, but you'd be beautiful, so it would be fine.

I would choose wise. This is because being "wise" helps you to make the correct choices in your life. Being wise is knowing when to carry on with something and when to stop. Being wise is knowing when to speak and when not to speak. Being wise is seeing things as they really are instead of what you would like them to be. Being wise is knowing when someone is being truthful and when they are not...the list can go on and on.
Being attractive is just that--being attractive. If you happen to be BOTH wise and attractive, then you have an added plus.

GREAT question, and very hard to answer because you can actually lose both (beauty with age and wisdom in an accident that causes you brain damage.)
It is unfortunate, however, that in our society good looks can afford you the same benefits as wisdom if you're trying to achieve what most are - money and power. Look how many beautiful people become rich and powerful just buy marrying a smart successful person! And many of the smart successful types are going that route because they don't have the looks so they can marry someone who does! So I suspect most people would pick looks (even if they don't admit it here.) Me? Wow. I'm not sure, I already have both! :-)

I would choose the middle.. You can be very attractive and very stupid...I really don´t like such people because you cannot have a good conversation with them. I think you are more attractive if your are wise. The most people think that people who are wise are more attractive than people who are attractive but stupid..

I go for being wise because
a) I probably would not care for my looks anymore
b) I would be smart enough to find other ways to attract guys
c) intelligence can be attractive too

I would have to choose very attractive because if you are attractive you dont have to be wise to get what you want. you basically just have to smile and flirt and the world will feed off your palms...

very wise because beauty is skin deep. Your looks don't mean anything. You can be the prettiest person in the world but still be a *****.

very wise---looks fade and are superficial means for some to "get with" somone. Good looks to me are just a bonus
