I would much rather be intelligent. Brains will get you much further than looks for a longer period of time. While it’s true that our culture right now prizes women’s looks over anything else about her, once the looks begin to fade, what do you have left? I’d hate to think my self esteem was tied up in my looks. Wouldn’t I be suicidal the first time someone called me ugly?
Yep, give me brains everytime.

I really got frustrated about this plinky prompt. One would think they would be sharp enough to realize all we writers on plinky value our brains much more that our looks. Besides, for a while, many of us have both.
As you so aptly pointed out, once beauty fades, one had certainly have something more substantial to fall back on, even if they depended on their looks for a time.
Amen on the lameness of the prompt today. Sometimes I skip these kind but I couldn’t resist the obvious response here.
I agree wholeheartedly especially when it comes to a man that I want to be with any length of time. I’d much rather have intelligent conversation than a pretty face too look at. Although… I think Daniel could be dumb as a rock and I’d gladly spend ample amounts of time with him =)
