Brains Vs. Beauty. A Showdown.
Since the dawn of humanity, one question has lingered about in realms of sex and dating. Which is better, beauty or brains? Now I'm sure some of you out there in the cheap seats just hollered "its nice to have both." Well it would also be nice if I could fellate myself while playing Call Of Duty, but most of the time it's just not in the cards. So I'm going to leave you with the following story and ask: which one takes precedence, brains or beauty?
It was around my sophomore year of college or so when I was a manager for a certain "popular" retail company and naturally, seeing one of the girls who worked there. And by seeing I mean intoxication, followed by insertion, followed by more intoxication; but on the regular. It was new and exciting so I had no qualms at the time. Mostly due to the fact that this girl, who we'll call Europea (for reasons which I will later explain) was a solid 9 out of 10, on a bad day. She was petite with tanned skin and natural blond hair. The prototypical Florida beach bunny. Coincidentally my extra-curriculars with her also made me the center of attention and envy of everyone else. I was at peace.
A couple of weeks into it, however, you start to get to the point where you have to actually engage in some kind of rational dialogue with each other. You know, during down time and water breaks and such. It was at this point that I started to notice things about her that I hadn't before. It's amazing how much more you can actually see when your not inside of someone. Things like vocabulary, hobbies, background, and general views on life. It wasn't too promising and a bit of a slow process to say the least, but we were screwing a lot more then we were talking. It was the kind of ratio that I imagine wild chimps would hold, so I chalked it up to that. Onward we go.
It was during this period that I decided it was time for her to meet my friends. Now this is the first of about three very important steps/tests before you can consider settling down with a girl, and with my friends, it's more like a gauntlet. So we all met a bar by campus and started to get into it. Drinks, mood lightening jokes, formal banter, the whole nine yards. It was out of that said banter that one of my buddies asked, "So what nationality are you?" I immediately thought, "Oh here we go," but she responded, "Polish," without hesitation and the conversation continued. I thought to myself that Polish made sense, but no flags were raised yet.
A timeless debate.The next question, my friends, is where you could say things went south, and not in the fun way. My other friend then followed up with, "So were you born here or what?" Her response (which to this day I will never forget nor live down) was "No, I was born in Europea. I moved from Europea when I was little." The crowd erupted in laughter, with she and I as the subjects, and a new nickname was forever donned. Like Ron Burgundy, I immediately regretted my decision.
The rest of the night went in the same fashion and was spent with me trying to avoid any questions that could give those jackals (and my frontal lobe) more material. It started to get a bit late, so I gathered her and our belongings and exited as fast as possible. The entire car ride home was spent trying to search and Google for any way possible to make Europea make sense, but to no avail. We got home and naturally she wanted to stay at my place. I was completely not in the right frame of mind or mood, but my manhood quickly reminded me that I was being selfish, and needed to do this for him. This is how most of the relationship would go. Conscience vs. cock.
So naturally I obliged and put logic aside to engage in what was one of the hottest sessions on record, until...
We were barreling down the home stretch so I threw her on her back and shot my evil in a fashion that would make a porn star blush. I was happy again, but little did I know that happiness would be short lived. Two minutes and thirty seconds to be exact. At that point, she tried to throw her arms around my neck while screaming out, "Ohhh I want you to lay in it!"
Game over. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars, and go straight to jail. I am by no means a stellar person. I have looked past a lot and done some dirty things in my day in the name of coitus, but this was where I drew the line. No amount of pretty could ever undo the damage that was done. Now these are just a couple of examples of her complete and utter stupidity, and I do have friends that said they would have laid in it. I also have an equal amount that have said they could never have stayed and connected with a girl that dumb, no matter how hot she was.
So I ask, brains or beauty? Or do you hope for a miracle and hold out for both?

"It's amazing how much more you can actually see when your not inside of someone."
Most epic comment ever award goes to....
I pick option four: a balance.
The person doesn't have to be God-like, but they've got to be attractive.
The person doesn't have to be a genius, but they've got to be reasonably intelligent.
Thankfully, my standards for "attractive" are not that hard to hit if they've got the right personality, so I suppose if I'm choosing one or the other, it'd be "brains."
@nimbusthedragon@xanga - Seconded. ^_^
What about half and half? Is that an option? Also did you consider someone just lacking common sense? I'm smart but I LACK common sense, which might make me look stupid. lol
Hahahah crazy awesome story. You're a good funny writer.
And holy crap yeah man...sometimes that stupidity gets to the point of facepalm.
Lol thats funny because Europa is the polish for Europe so really she's not dumb, you are!
@Losing_gamex@xanga - Dear confused girl, re-read said word and you'll see it's not "Europa," but "Europea." Thank you.
Luckily, I'm not much for beauty. The sexiest thing is brains. As long as he's not monstrous, I'm good with any sort of looks. I find geeks (and their stereotypical appearance- they've all looked like geeks) tremendously attractive.
Guys, even the "Homely" ones, tend to go for beauty.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I'm not the best looking girl out there and therefore I can't count much on beautiful men going after me. But that does leave me with intelligent and interesting men. :)
It's a given that in the realm of sex and dating that outer beauty will always, in the eye of it's beholder, win out over brains. It's also a given that brains inhibit one from competing as a person who has a brain knows that the only way for a decent human being to win is to not enter the contest to begin with. When the object of affection is worthy of such, (s)he never has suitors who'd compete primarily on appearance nor for any purpose but a lifelong relationship. Therefor a contest is extremely rare amongst them.
Somehow I have a pretty hot boyfriend who is also very intelligent. Thankfully for me, he's more attracted to brains than beauty. He has actually made comments in casual conversation that some really hot girls (we were talking about some specific young ladies we know) were too stupid for him to ever have sex with. Thank God. I may not be that attractive, but I have a near genius IQ.
"Well it would also be nice if I could fellate myself while playing Call Of Duty"
You want to suck on your own dick while playing Call of Duty?!? haha thats F'ing disgusting.
The last couple of guys I've had this conversation with said that beauty counts more, & brains only count if she's hot as well..if that makes sense.
But I've also heard guys say that sometimes if they date a hot girl, they just want sex...than they call me hot. Too bad I'm too smart to fall for that.
This reminded me of Barney's hot/crazy chart from HIMYM.
she is a foreigner so she probably doesn't quite grasp the english language fluently but people are laughing at her enunciation skills. you're embarrassed of her but she is likely insulted that your friends laughed at her for answering a question that isn't suppose to be funny. I care about looks and brains but I wouldn't date a jerk either.
brains! beauty fades with time but sexy stimulating brains don't. i'll rather be seduced for a lifetime than to go for a quickie. ;)
70/30 brains/beauty. The reverse is boring as hell, no matter how nice she is to look at. And, actually, the more you grow to love someone, the better they start looking... On the other hand, they don't get much smarter.
i'm ugly. so i go with brains.
why can't you choose both?
I... want.. you .. to.... lay... in... it....?
Like wut. Wut. My brain can't comprehend the weirdness of that shit.
@superGchik@xanga - Agreed. Brains and beauty do exist. If you're finding yourself stuck with either/or's all the time, I'd re-evaluate a) where you're picking up these chicks or b) your standards.
@michebelle@xanga - @superGchik@xanga - @P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - @wizexel22@xanga - If I could suck my own dick it would save me a lot of trouble so yes, I probably would. Also, your still a douche. Her english was perfect. It is her first language before polish. So that is a moot point. Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. The previous was depicting one of those times.
@youngnsassy@xanga - Honestly? I don't get that either. I'm sorry if that girl is into that, but... what? lol.
I'm a girl, so I try to hold out for the miracle (or not-so-much-a-miracle? I tend not to have too much trouble finding it usually) and get both. It's tempting to go after a hot guy though and leave an intelligent one in the "friends only" category.
And as far as the whole performing fellatio on yourself while playing Call of Duty comment... I think more guys would do that if they could although they might not admit it. lol.
lmao i love the comments on this.
for me, ive got to find the guy attractive atleast because i dont think you can really be in a relationship where youre going to sleep together and not find them attractive, also the guy cant be a moron but I need to be able to have convorsation with him.
@mdongivin - "If I could suck my own dick it would save me a lot of trouble so yes, I probably would."
haha wtf!?
oh no....the guy that wishes that he could give himself a BJ thinks I'm a douche! what am i gonna do!?
haha i also find it funny that a guy has more of a problem touching his jizz than sucking on his own cock hahaha. and since you're all about saving yourself any trouble....does that mean you would swallow afterwards as well?
I love that graph at the beginning of the post. Nice.
