rainfyre66 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 As somebody that's not only been given crap about my looks at many points through out my life- whether aggressively or passive-aggressively-, I've also bore witness to "the ridiculously good-looking" people that get treated better throughout life overall for happening to luck out on the aesthetically pleasing receiving end of the gene pool. Not that they're lives are perfect, but they generally get treated better and find things like money and tolerance easier to grasp than those with average or below average looks. Shallow? Sure. But the world tends to spin in the shallow end of the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Wisdom for me.I shall now refer to you as Grand Master Furry, Knowledgeable of the Universe!But then I would be wrong. I am definatley the "Smarts"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Wisdom and street/survival/thrive smarts are better than book smarts, IMO. Book smarts are ok, but they only get you so far (not financially, anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shaper Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 who cares if you're smart or not? It's kind of a big deal if your smart or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konchaski Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 It's kind of a big deal if your smart or not.Honestly? It only goes hand in hand if you have looks or money to back you up. I know for a fact I'm semi-attractive and that's probably why I was picked over another girl who was overweight but more intelligent than me. Most of our society is shallow.

Konchaski Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 What? Your female? Yep. In an ideal world, I'd love to say my smarts got me where I am today but really? I think it has also done a lot with the fact of how I look and carry myself. Basically, I want to say wisdom? But when I see Lindsay Lohan - I figure appearance has to deal with how people will treat you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
