You said it all girl 😆 I especially agree completely with the part in bold. Some delusions do need to be set right 😆

Yes Brains should take precedence but there are many men who want a wife who is not superior to themselves.😆 Inferiority complex perhaps ?

But it pays to have a clever and intelligent wives. A friend of mine lets his wife look all all the business and himself spends time playing golf everyday.

@Bold: Definitely not, Sir - that's losers we're talking about. Inferiority complex hits the best of us in all walks of lives. Sometimes we get over it only to be hit by it again but a man who wants a wife not superior to him wants to pump his ego and create a fake environment wherein no one is above him. That's what losers do, not those who are battling inferiority complex. 😳

And your friend, I daresay makes cool use of his own intellect. But I could take my words back if by any chance you inform me of his doing nothing for a living at all. 😛

I think generally most women would prefer a man with average looks but with deep pockets. A woman who is very capable and independent may just want a reliable hubby who is trustworthy.

Topic is basically about the importance of beauty and looks in a person. Moving a step further we measure the importance of beauty vis a vis intelligence and talent.

True! In most cases people are attracted to beauty first, it's only later then come to know how intelligent is the person!

And what happens if you find out the person is not intelligent as per your scale, will you leave that person?

And what happens if the person turns out to be intelligent but due to some unknown reasons unattractive, will you leave that person?

Aarya, didn't you bring up the online love topic in the other thread? What happens in that case? You haven't seen the person .. but you are still attracted to them. Some people listen to the radio and are attracted to the RJ. Maybe you don't need looks to be attracted. It could even be their wit or intelligence? Sure, understanding if someone is intelligent needs time unlike looks which you can determine at first sight.

This was my post in other thread and yet no response...

"How different is infidelity vs open-relationship?
This all comes down to whether one believes that there's one way to define a committed relationship or whether one think it's possible to design their own! And what makes us think that there is only one way to make a commitment to another person? What are the norms, are these the natural or cultural ways of making commitments? Rules define a game but what stops people from creating new games by new rules... "

And that was related to infidelity (assuming a person is already in relationship) while here we are discussing what is more important to a person beauty or brains after they meet the person, else the question of beauty would never arise. I believe these are two different topics for discussion.

As to the bold, it depends on priorities. If you love them irrespective of the fact that they are not as intelligent or not as attractive .. you won't leave them!

What you are stating here are not priorities but facts, that if you love someone neither beauty nor brains should make any difference to that person.:)
