Do Women Give More Importance to Beauty Than Intellectual Achievements?

I damn hope not. Yes, we have to try and look our best, but intellect is more important. You cannot get anywhere in life with looks. I have heard that one before and i know of a lot who worked and learned very hard to get where they are today. Intellectual achievements are more important. TATA.

Hello, I have seen women who are intellectually capable, yet not obsessed with the presentation or appearance. Now, it highly depends on the individual and the kind of environment one has grown up in. Most of the women I have seen and talked to were quite obsessed with appearances and wealth yet suffer an intellectual poverty. The thing is that, if you have too much focus in your appearance you can not gain intellectual greatness. These are two quite opposite things, and I also thing in most of the cases one is complemented by other. I have seen so many educated men and women who are highly attached to trivial or, rather baser matters. This ails me the most. It just proves the failure of traditional methods of teaching. We differentiate intellect, intelligence, integrity etc in current context, whereas all of them are so interconnected that it can be often said that someone who has any one of them must have the others as well. Now, this definition has been distorted and abused at the will of weak and vulnerable people. Most of the women do prefer money and give importance to fashion. But this is just the result of an oppression that ran for centuries. Let them realize the loftiness of intellectuality and they can even excel men in this. They just need more time. God bless you

i think it is important to be as attractive as we can be for whom we are. our intellect is very important, too. it shows our intelligence. i have to work more on my character, intellect, and what is in my heart. this shows whom i really am.

Hi Preethaanju, First off, I would like to say that women are very intelligent, no doubt. You can't say or question if women are less in IQ by nature. For this you are absolutely in correct. Women do give importance to beauty but they also have an importance to intellectual achievements. With intellectual achievements beauty comes, I feel, truly. I think beauty comes in the initial stage of interaction with the woman,and being a intelligent is much much much more important than being a beautiful. What do you say? Thanks.

Maybe some women do that but in my case I dont. I am more concerned about my health. There are already a lot of things that concerns me about my health. When it comes to educational achievements, I am also doing things about that by getting a masters degree. I am pursuing my studies and I think its also very important cause eve though I dont have kids yet and I want to set a good example for them to get a good education.

Well i believe women give more importance to Intellectual achievements. One such example is my wife, who is very simple in nature and appearance. Her smartness and intelligence is what really motivates me when i go low due to any problems.

yes it is absolutely rite

It's not fair to say All woman feel this way. But, a majority often do. A lot of woman feel it is their role in society to spend money that other people (men) make. And, they are the home makers, and buety is everything. I don't agree with this concept. I don't own any makeup. I make a living as best I can, and I stay clean enough to where i feel good not because another person likes the way I look. I'm not out to please anyone but myself. However, there are people in this world who feel life isn't worth living if they aren't getting the attention of a husband, or living to make said husband happy.

It's really a tough call. You can't really generalize women (or men) as being this and that. Traits and attitudes depends on the environment where people grew, it depends on their beliefs, their culture, their ideals, their friends and also on the things they possess. Naturally, a good-looking girl brought up in an environment and culture wherein she was thought the importance of being educated will seek to improve his intellectual faculties while a not so-good-looking one brought up in a social circle where her friends are all fashion-conscious will probably give more weight on improving her physical attributes.

well friend the story has changed in studies and iq level now there is report of 55%girlsand 45 are boys in studies and even in good jobs nowadays!yes the time is there when they will stand equal to men in all fields!no doubt!may be physically weak!!

I think most women do so, but there are yet a few who give importance to their Intellectual achievements. If we are to ask all the women to chose beauty or intelligence, I have no doubt that a large majority will chose beauty and look for an intelligent husband. I think the pride of women is always their beauty.

this question is related to another one, do men give more importance to beauty than intellectual achievements at woman?:)

This question seems an old thing ,but it is double-edged sword in fact. I think it beauty than intellectual achievements for women.

hellow to all women out there! as now a days most of the women around the globe spent there time improving their beauties than have their brain nurtured. now a days even women are practical, most of them believe that they can be attracted to men if they have their outside appearance presentable to men than have their brain full of knowlegde.

actually all women whether intelligent or not are very obsessed when it comes to beauty. if they have money they will buy everything from make up to clothes and saloon and etc. because thats what we are. we love to look beautiful even if we are not that pretty at it add self confidence to us. when it comes to intellectual achievements, it depends to the women self drive to success, if she want to be successful in her career or just be contented with her husband and kids.

yes i think and there is a reason behind this. i think even man just see first the beauty of a woman and due to this she also concentrate on beauty more than intelligence. there is a simple social reason and men are directly responsible for that. they dont care if she is intelligent but not beautiful
