Is it true that the more attractive someone is the more shallow and stupid they are?

Question

and why or why not?

Answer 1

yes, it is often true. the reason is that they don't need to be deep or intelligent because they can pull people of the opposite sex just by being attractive.

Answer 2

Not necesserally. About half the people that are beautiful would be attracted to the least expected of people. It's almost rare to find someone truly vain anymore, and with a diminuative intelligence.

If you look at the ugly duckling phase, where a girl or a guy may go through when they reach puberty (if not later on) that they gain alot more attention from people than before. The only fact behind this is, that sometimes that person becomes shallow and try to forget or pretend that they were never unattractive, but most people that are kind and humble and are phenomenaly attractive tend to hold onto those qualities and truly don't really change who they are. However beauty is rarely or never connected with how smart you are or become. Each person have their own unique way to display intelligence. I.E. An attractive girl may not know how to solve a mathematical equation but knows how to count and spend money and negotiate or solve a jigsawpuzzle. Why? because they're things that she is familiar with and enjoy doing or have a sense of responsibility. Same thing if the situation were reversed. An attractive girl that's an original whiz to solving mathematical problems, but has no clue on how to negotiate on buying something for a much lower price. Ugly or not, displaying intelligence at any level is completely different for every person. The only way someone could be really stupid is to set their hand on fire, putting it out, and setting it again.

Now as for being beautiful and shallow? sadly it does happen but not to everyone. Reason why some may be shallow or become shallow is simply because of other people's reactions towards you. When a person IS attractive and shallow is because they weren't introduced to the notion of being ugly. They simply went through a phase where their beauty was alway complimented and thus this idea was infused in their heads that makes them think that no other person or thing (yes I mean a literal 'thing') can compare, launching the reaction to be shallow for things that don't meet their level of what 'attractive' is.(majority would be physical attraction) and so they discard it or ignore it.

Now when a person BECOMES attractive and shallow is a whole different idea. Most people that go through this become shallow because they don't want to be reminded about their ugly days and sever the link to the world they grew up in before becoming beautiful. Another reason might be simply because they get lost in their own vanity, because society is finally looking their way, and reacting with something they had never felt before and that is: admiration, appreciation, jealousy, and envy towards them, and become spellbound to the idea that their beauty is unmatched.

Not every person that is beautiful or physically attractive are shallow or have an IQ of -1 or gain a perfect SAT score. It varies from person to person, and most work hard to attain these qualities. It's near impossible to find perfect beauty or intelligence.

Answer 3

Of course not. That's like trying to stereotype blondes. They are not ALL stupid. In fact, brunettes, redheads, etc. and not so pretty people can be as dumb if not dumber. Looks has absolutley nothing to do with intelligence. There are people of all types and thats what makes the world go round. Shallowness is an acquired trait that is very unappealling, but for those people, they do think they are better than most. That trait comes in all forms and fashions of people.

Answer 4

That's actually a hard question to answer. I have to say it depends on what you think attractive is.

Those who think they're attractive are more likely to be shallow and ya stupid because its the only thing they have going for them and rely on their looks to get them through life. Which doesn't always work out.

Answer 5

Sometimes a smart and intelligent person can be beautiful as well, but more often than not if someone looks absolutley stunning, with big boobs or abs, and that "Hollywood Look", then they have spent too much time on their physical appearance and not anyting else. Shallow people are the ones who do not have inner beauty.

Answer 6

Nope. That is not true. Some of the most attractive women I know are the most smartest and UN-shallow ones that I know.

Answer 7

Not true. One of my best friends is very beautiful, but she is also one of the smartest people I know. She's in my PhD program, graduated as her high school valedictorian, and she teaches at a university. I think shallow people allow themselves to be defined by their looks, not the other way around.

Answer 8

Oh heck no, it ain't true at all. Agreed, some of those young men and women classified as "supermodels" are not the brightest bulbs in the chandlier - but some of the prettiest, sexiest, most attractive women I've ever known in my sixty years on this earth have been university professors, physicians and top business executives. I dated a lady veterinarian who worked at Cornell University - jeez was she a sweetheart!

Answer 9

shallow this a lot of times true, but stupid does not require good or bad looks

Answer 10

I don't think that statement stands true. There are unattractive people who are shallow and stupid, the same time, there are well endowed people who are talented, intelligent and all that.

So, I believe it's really an individual and their personality.

Answer 11

Umm, shallow, maybe...Ive found that attractive (really attractive) peps KNOW they are...and sometimes often are vain about it, so therefore, I wouldnt necessarily call that stupidity....I find in men particularly they use it to their advantage....with women particularly if we "care" about how attractive we are, we're considered "high maintenance". LOL! Have a great day!
