Would you rather marry for brains, or for looks?

[HectorOfTroy]

If you say looks, you are retarded. I don't like to use that word too lightly, but seriously.

Think about the most physically unattractive man you have ever seen that you personally consider to be the worst looking (not including medically diagnosed deformities), if he had a 160IQ and the personality you wanted, you would marry him?

The original question is:

Would you rather date and marry someone solely for their brains, or more solely for their looks alone?..

I don't think it implies that the person with brains is ugly or the person with looks has an IQ of -20, but moreso what drives your decision. I've been in relationships with unattractive men, I just cannot stand someone who is slow.

[HectorOfTroy]

I'd say personality and looks are about equal, I'd like someone smart too but I'd rather a person who is honest/trustworthy, empathetic, and makes genuine efforts in the relationship with mid intelligence 100x times over an untrustworthy, bitch, relationally lazy genius.

Maybe for women it is more important that their partner is intelligent since intelligence is a dominance thing just like height and build, except those are physical dominance, intelligence is mental dominance.

Well if the word is solely, it implies you'd be willing to marry an ugly (personally physically ugly to you, not society's standard of ugly) genius, over a hot retard.

It's moreso that idiots are a complete and utter pain to deal with. I don't always have my smartest moments on this website, but it's pretty hard to find someone who is "mentally dominant" over me in real life, considering... well, everything I do. I just like having someone I can talk to about my interests and have them pick up on at least a little bit of it, even if they don't have physics/math/programming etc knowledge.

Us mere mortals do not even measure up to your knees.

Don't be generous, maybe my ankles, my calves are very large (because I have mountain genetics) and thus hard to scale.

They all have their own charm above some threshold.

*Brain if 160+ IQ
*Looks if something like Scarlett Johansson
*Personality if shes angelic

What do you do specifically, what do you program and what languages?

What do you do specifically, what do you program and what languages?

By education I am a physicist and I do something related to that (but no specifics since I have made myself too doxxable already, I've said exactly what it is before though in the chatbox lol). I struggle to say programming "languages" as every language follows a basic structure that you can use after learning the syntax of every other language; I've used and forgotten the syntax for some over time, but if you give me a day or so I'll pick them right back up. Anyone who tells you that you have to learn each programming language from scratch is a fool (Ignore the rant, that is SERIOUSLY my pet peeve) I focus on systems and stuff related to my job, but I'll pick up random projects for fun if I have time.
