So this week I decided to let myself loose of some slightly intoxicated friends in a simple game of would you rather, here's what happened:
Today I thought I'd talk about one of the questions and why it's such a hard choice to make.
The question in question is 'Would you rather we Clever and Ugly or be Dumb and Beautiful?'
This question seems to be so hard to answer because it makes you choose between intelligence and image which are arguably two of the most important factors in today's social climate.
Intelligence seems to be what people search for in terms of employees or someone who can do things and therefore is often thought of as necessary for success, whereas looks are what people perceive as a way to make friends, relationships, popularity and networking which is undoubtable an important part of being happy and/or aspirational.
These two things tend to be each others downfall and most feel as though they need both to have the highest chance in succeeding in what they do, some feel as though some jobs are possible with only one of them (for example, and a very stereotypical one, Models need to have good looks but tend to be dumb, People in IT are usually clever but tend to lack looks) and some disagree completely and believe that anyone can do anything despite their looks and levels of intelligence.
This is why the question is so hard to answer, because it makes you choose between two ideals that most people seek to have on a high level.
Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Be Happy With Yourself,
And Goodbye.
