Would u prefer being born with a beautiful face that appeals to everyone but being very dumb at the same time, or having the IQ of Einstein but also a face that always tops the chart named "most hideous ppl on earth"? Will gender be a crucial factor in deciding this? I know in real life things wont be that extreme, but i juz wanna know, ultimately, u would prefer which?

Wisdom. Wisdom never fades like beauty does. To me when you have wisdom you have beauty because when you have wisdom you have a very rare kind of beauty that is so uncommon in the world of today. And that's what I think is beautiful.

I'd prefer neither beauty nor wisdom, coz these are the two extremes. You can't communicate normally with other people maybe because of their jealousy. I'd prefer to be a little bit wise and not the prettiest man in the world

I would rather do born intelligent because if you are born smart and you get into a profession that allows you to make a great deal of money, you can always pay for plastic surgery to make yourself look beautiful. Plus wisdom lasts, whereas beauty fades with age.

Ultimatums are always not wise to do. However my answer is as follows:
If I am beautiful, but feather-brained, people will soon find out and the statue of my beauty will fall in the muck and shatter, then I will look ugly in the eyes of the people.
If I am ugly, but wise, people may not like me at first, but in a while they will find out my true essence, then my ugliness will be tolerated for my wisdom.
My question to you is: would you not like to have a fault-free gem though it is still in the rough?

Luckily I've been blessed with both (ya right, that's a laugh)
I would choose wisdom. I'd rather be a thinker over a looker.

I am a man. For a women, beauty is the only thing that's important to me. If the women is ugly, no matter how smart or wisdom she has, I'll always be thinking about how ugly she is and won't be able to hear her wisdom.

I would prefer wisdom, because if I'm wise, i can find beauty everywhere.
