So the truth is that by just being good looking and not very smart, you can still get ahead in life and are likely to be PERCEIVED as intelligent, even if you are not. So if you are good looking and somewhat intelligent (of average or slightly higher than average intelligence) you are already ahead of someone who is brilliant but ugly.
So I am glad I am not ugly because ugly people have more to prove even if they are smarter. I know I get away with a lot with more things because I am good looking. But I am thirsty for money and pwwer though.... so it's easier for me to achieve those things because I am not ugly. Being attractive can be a good tool in life if you have other skills, i don't care if my opinions are not politically correct, but that is what i think.

whislt I don't disagree totally with you, I do have a question for you. What would happen if - god forbid - you are in a fire tonight and you are burned and plastic surgery won't return you to your current level or beauty..how do you cope then if you have built such an importance on your beauty. Same thing goes for women that think it will proivde them with a better mate...would they be there if you lost your beauty ..which one day most of us will.
