Is it true about ugly people??
Posted by sowondering on 7/23/2008 3:25:00 PM
i have a question...and its not against anyone...BUT,
are ugly people or (not so great looking) people usually smarter than good looking people???
I would think that more non attractive people are smarter because they spend more time buried in their books and contemplating deep thoughts rather than partying with pretty people.
i see a lot of deep thoughts on here, and some are saying that they cant get anyone to love them. is that because they have a shitty personality? or they just dont got the looks??
im not against either one of these people, its just a question out of curiosity...
what do you guys think? do you think that the more beautiful someone is, the harder it is to become smarter than the bookworm who gets no attention?

Not really.. I'm pretty ugly. And I'm pretty dumb. But that may be because I smoke too much pot.

wow...
this question seems to be rather stereotypical and shallow
I think it's easy to peg certain people into a stereotype, and make assumptions like Kk7 has done about a person who is considered the "ugly bookworm".
maybe if you look past the ugly bookworm label, you might see that they're just a person with different interests. Maybe to them, reading is funner then partying.
Point is, DON'T make an assumption just by looks alone. People are much more complicated then that.

actually, i went to a party on saturday night. i was sitting at a table and this petite, little girl was sitting at the table with a book. (keep in mind, she was not attractive) ...well, when the lights turned off so people could dance and have a good time, i overheard her saying, "omg! i was reading!" and i was like, "oh wow..why would you bring a book to a party and complain when the lights went out!"
the rest of the night, she sat in her chair, and stared at everyone.
this shows that she would rather read then hang out with her friends and have a good time...maybe she isnt confident in herself, but whatever the case, i know that she had brains and would rather read than be social, because she was not confident with her looks.

I'm pretty and I'm smart.
I'm a junior and high school, six of my classes are weighted.
Four for college credit.
I do play dumb sometimes though, but truth is, I'm extremely smart. :]

yes, "saddened by this" you are SO right. i am the one that posted this question. SO??
i wanted to know because i was curious.
i remember back in middle school, that the pretty girls would just sit and flirt with the boys and form clicks, while the girls who had unfortunate luck with their looks would sit back buried in a book and studying.
your right, there are a select few beautiful women that have the brains to go to harvard...LIKE LEGALLY BLONDE!!
you actually speak very professionally, and i feel proud of your arguements. you should be proud that you have such intelligence. are you ugly??

Well, KK7 it is clear that you were the one who asked this question even though you continue to speak about the asker in a third party.
FIRST:
Regarding: to "Saddened by this":
you just proved the writers point by saying this: "I have dated many very attractive girls. I was always bored and turned off by the idiot ones. Most of them were so pathetic; they actually believed they could impress a guy by playing dumb"
ummm so wheres your counter arguement? you never say that pretty girls can be smart just like ugly ones.
wow...
Actually the fact that I limited the initial comment of Several girls to a small group as in the ones states that there was a small group who only had their looks going for them. The others will still be beautiful even after their looks fade because they worked more on what was upstairs.
SECOND:
and also, it was a question someone asked. why do you have to say there is sheer ignorance with the question of that nature??
the sheer ignorance of questions are those kids out there saying, "oh im 15 and im going to have a baby because i want one. is that bad? "
THOSE are sheer ignorant people. oK "saddened by this"???
You are correct that ignorance was a bad choice of words. Both your original question and the hypothetical question of the pregnant girl are not ignorant meaning lack of knowledge. They are just looking for attention like a child would which you got. But in the end, you are just an incomplete person who needs some serious help to grow up. Class is and will always be more attractive than trash. This is why most men are more attracted to a intelligent attractive woman in a classy outfit than some tramp wearing next to nothing. But if all you are worth is your looks then your value is depreciating daily sweetie so you’re in a lot of trouble. Ignorance would be your spelling and grammar which also matches that of the original poster. Yet you are so smart and got us all fooled that you are just commenting.
And I promise you that there are many beautiful women with brains. And most of them have self respect as well and would rather be judged for their brains than their looks.

i dont think you can generalise...its like saying "are all arabics terrorists"!
it isnt what you've got
its what you make of what you've got
so i hope you use whatever you have wisely and make use of it!
and just as a afterthought...maybe "ugly" people's knowledge makes them beautiful?

Hey!I see what you mean and honestly said,i believe it's actually true.Well,there are very few really ugly people out there..So,let's be gentle :) people who are not as beautiful as others osten spend their time trying to make themselves better...to refine what they are..and objectively,since they've lost their self-confidence,the only way to do it is by becoming more and more intelligent...i was unpleasantly surprised by one ot the comments here calling u retarded..i believe that the one who wrote it is :);) leave people live their lives the way they want.if one wants to dig themselves in piles of book,OK!leave them alone!
P.S. Some day we all understand that it's not important how you look,but how you think.

While reading this I couldn't help but feel sorry for the person writing it. The shear ignorance to ask a question of this nature is astounding. I have dated many very attractive girls. I was always bored and turned off by the idiot ones. Most of them were so pathetic; they actually believed they could impress a guy by playing dumb.
The only guys who will wanted to stay with a girl like that for longer than a sex partner are losers who are never going to amount to anything and eventually treat you like crap.
Truth is beauty and youth fade. Eventually you need something else and if your self-esteem is that low. You are in for a hard walk.
Most intelligence is a matter of applied effort. There have been very few truly intelligent people on this planet. The rest have worked toward it. Do your self a favor. Put in the effort. Then once you have a future not surrounded by what you see in the mirror. You will be able to run with a circle that will help you to feel better about yourself as well.
(P.S. There have also been very few truly dumb people in this world as well. Most have had to work at that. Just like you are I suspect. Might as well put the same effort into a positive direction with a future.)

Though I'm not a strand of DNA, I can pretty fairly say that genetically speaking, there is no scientifically-proven connection between attractiveness and intelligence. That being said, I would like to make a few comments:
1. some of the most beautiful and attractive individuals I've met possess Ivy-League degrees (or other degrees from top-tier inteitutions) or will once they graduate.
2. beauty is in the eye of the beholder--maybe I like guys who are quirky, a little silly, and who have intellectual interests and maybe my bestie likes guys who are a little more serious, a little more conventional, and wear khakis. They're both intelligent and attractive guys and the key here is that THEIR PERSONALITY makes them so, not just their looks. hmmmmmm.
3. have you ever paused to consider the possibility that the more thoughtful and reflective (read: "intelligent") an individual is the less emphasis he or she places on cultivating their physical beauty for the simple reason that they REALIZE that life isn't about being beautiful. Maybe they realize that life is about having a purpose, having goals and dreams (whatever they may be), and fulfilling their personal potential by working towards these dreams with their entire selves.
4. I can fairly say that "intelligent people" (who like everybody else run the gamut from traditionally unattractive to traditionally beautiful to unconventionally beautiful) can and DO party and have fun as well as the next person. fun is also in the eye of the beholder.
5. maybe these people who "can't get anyone to love them" don't realize that you should not have to WORK for the love of others. find someone who, at the end of the day, loves you for who you are--for your good days and your bad days; for your looks and your personality; for your interests and your values; for your dreams and for your past. Maybe it's your mom, maybe it's that guy down the hall, maybe it's your dog, maybe it's your little brother, maybe it's your best friend. find them, stay with them, and love them back.
That all being said, sometimes I wish I were a strand of DNA.

I think the answer to this question has a lot to do with how much effort one puts into his or her appearance. How many movies are there where they transform ugly nerd girls into pretty girls by taking off her glasses, de-frizzifying her hair and getting her some normal clothes (for instance, Princess Diaries).
But this question does demonstrate the connection between intelligence and appearance...perhaps smart people choose not to put as much effort in as a way to channel their time, energy and other resources into more intellectual causes. Maybe they consider how much time would be spent beautifying themselves and realize that by cutting back on things like doing their hair and makeup or putting in contacts rather than wearing glasses they would be wasting so much time throughout their lives. If you added up all the extra time it would translate to the amount of time it takes to earn a PHD or a law degree. A few minutes saved per day adds up to a few years over the course of a lifetime.
So just think of all you can accomplish...then put down the gel, mascara brush, the blush, the eyeliner, the straightener/curling iron and do something a little more productive with your life!
