i'd rather have intelligence. technology could 'fix' your face. however, it couldn't make you think better.
besides, beauty is subjective.
what could be ugly for me could be sensuous for others.
and for me, beauty of a person largely depends on how he/she handles him/herself.

yes, godhunter. it is very true that each person has a different perception of beauty. this is because we look at beauty at different angles. you are right again about how one can change his/her outward looks by making use of the current technology on cosmetic surgery. yet, we can never operate on our intelligence and wisdom until this day and age of so much advancement on so many things in life.

i will presume that we are talking here about physical beauty and wisdom. i would to say that i will go for wisdom. it will be great to be able to know at each step in my life to know the best decisions to make. i will be committing no errors in all my decisions, i will be doing and performing things at their best at each moment, everything will be sparklingly perfect. the best of everything shall be coming forth from time to time. that is surely a wow after wow performance all of my life. now, i have to wake up because i know that i am daydreaming once again. there is nonesuch high degree of wisdom in existence in any human being.

i think what the topic means by intelligence are those academic intellectuals. wisdom i think is not synonymous with intelligence.
i know of alot of people that are ademically intelligent but are clueless when it comes to life and decision making.

I would choose intelligence. It is one of the reasons my hubby loves me so. Because I am intelligent and can hold an intelligent conversation. Beauty fades over time, but intelligence is life long. Beauty may get you in the door, but intelligence keeps you inside !!

An intelligent person will know how to keep themselves looking beautiful even in old age. A beautiful person may not necessarily know about how to sound intelligent.

I want to choose being intelligent and not only the beauty. What is beauty if your brain is empty. Being intelligent is beauty did you believe that? I beleive it because if there`s a situation that needs your opinion in a certain thing you cant explain or cant give anything because you dont know how and why. Beauty is just outside brain is inside in you.

I think too many people think of beauty and intelligence as being two separate things. Personally, I take the view that intelligence is beauty. An intelligent woman will always know how to make herself beautiful no matter what happens.

I will choose intelligence out of question.maybe lots of women will prefer beauty.hehe...it is commom.
but I think the beauty is temporary,brains will be with you forever.when you grow old,your appearance will turn old,too,then you face is full of wrinkle,do you think you are still beautiful as before.I do not think so.
You will be cleverer than before,because you have experienced lots of things,and you can deal with the problem sensiblely.

Hi, tracy1985.
I agree with you mostly. But concerning about the second sentence, I do not think so.
Most of the women wanna make themselves more beautiful all the time. But if giving them a premise, I think they'll choose the intelligence , at least I'll choose it.
Glad to share your thoughts.
Have a happy day! :)

My choice is intelligent.why not beautiful face, well my answer is wht to do with the beauty except can be used in beauty contest.being intelligent means go for correct way of earning for himself and for other family members.morever, you can increase intelligent over period of time, whereas beauty lapes over a timeperiod.

girls, always want to have both as much as possible but since we need to pick which one we want to have, i'm gonna pick being intelligent cause no one can take that away from you, beauty fades in time specially when we get old. We can be beautiful inside and thats what really matters to me. :)

i'd prefer being intelligent bcoze beauty is temproray and only rules for an instance. Imagine ab abnormal but explicitly cute girl.who would like to marry her?
It is intelligence which has made cosmetics for us to become beautiful,for a while thought.

neither of this two choices appeal very much to me. i would choose someone who is COMPASSIONATE more than beauty or intelligent.

I choose brain, although external beauty is the first to notice, i choose brain for its last for a long time. And it lead you to long time career because you are smart.

Definitely intelligence! People get old and beauty fades away. I would love to be intelligent and be able to think wide. I think that's a really good gift and I think being intelligent could make life easier too (although sometimes we get more advantages by being beautiful *smiles). I just love to think and it would be bad for my life if I don't have the intelligence to think!

i would certainly prefer intelligence over beauty. Beauty does not matter to me neither to the whole world form the respect that most countries are indulged in. I think being intelligent i could serve my nation and myself. Beauty is reserved for girls, for boys it should be intelligence.
