What--Is beauty really nothing without brains?

Can beauty really get anyone anywhere? I was talking to someone I hadn’t seen in a while, and she was asking me about what I planned on doing after high school. She said she’s sure I would do well and be successful. SHe said if I wasn’t, that I was very beautiful and that it could get me anywhere. I took it as a compliment, but it had me kind of curious. I know that it has for some people, but I was also curious if being smart, or just having your basic common sense was a turn on for people. Sorry it’s a little long. Thanks =)

Looks can help you along sometimes as hysterical said, “As for a girl that’s beautiful, it provides her with a special hold over men. A bit of persuasion and some mind games can surely get a lot of money out of a guy.” But I reckon that’s all it does, give you a special advantage of persuasion for MOST men, not all… But it also makes a lot of other women feel threatened esp. if they do the same thing. So you’ll have to have brains and skills to be able to deal in situations with women and the few men that aren’t swayed by your looks. Also being smart will get you into a lot more places in the workforce than your looks. If you go to an interview for a job and your pretty, but you seem dimwitted, you most likely won’t be hired (unless the position your trying to get doesn’t require any academic skill). However, if you have brains and you come off as smart and efficient, you’ll most likely get the job (along with fulfilling the other requirements of the job description) =]

My opinion:

We live in a world that’s controlled by men, typically men have the power. When a beautiful girl strolls along, the general bag is that they want her and will do anything to get her. In turn, rich and powerful men lionize beautiful women since that’s what I think society wants us to be. The ideal couple being rich and powerful man with a beautiful wife.

As for a girl that’s beautiful, it provides her with a special hold over men. A bit of persuasion and some mind games can surely get a lot of money out of a guy. It’s all about working what your mother gave you. It’s a cold, hurtful, and selfish thing to do but I feel like some girls do incline to this as a means of living. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean that this girl is actually happy, she does still have to do some things for the guy that is giving her money. Be it sex, fellatio, etc… It’s almost compromising as first sight.

I do love a girl that is intelligent and can hold her ground without a man. I find that to be an alluring type of personality. Intelligence is also another plus for me! That’s what I think society-wise that deals with women that are beautiful.

Answer #3

Beauty means nothing wothout brains.MOST men like a girl with brains.Some are just pigs and they like your body,not what you think and your feelings.That is NOT how you are going to be succesful(in the good way,not the bad way.)Hope I helped!

Answer #4

Answer #5

I know girls that are drop dead gorgeous but dumb as a bunch of rocks, though I see them get everything thing they want/need with what appears to be minimal effort. Personally I believe intelligence comes in many forms. These girls may not be “book smart” or even have common sense, but they are manipulative and conniving. They LEARN to use their beauty and sex appeal to gain whatever it is they are after. Every woman has her best feature; for some of us its our exceptional beauty and our ability to us it, our exceptional knowledge of the world around us, our bubbly personality, or simply our friendly attitude. My opinion, if you’ve got the smarts then use them, regardless of how pretty you are.

Cheers!
