Thought I would preempt Which would you rather have? A - all charisma, no wisdom B - no charisma, all wisdom What if you were single? In a relationship, which would you want for yourself and your partner?

My BMI tells me I'm too short...
Charisma isn't the same as beauty...a person can have plenty of charisma despite not being beautiful, and can be stunning but have no charisma.

Charisma and beauty are completely different things, as are brains and wisdom! What are you actually trying to ask? For the record I would ALWAYS choose brains over beauty absolutely regardless of relationship status. But them I am a crazy person who thinks that as a woman I might be able to contribute more to society than something nice to look at....crazy I know, I'm seeking professional help!

I'd rather be Wonder Woman. Those big pants would mean I wouldn't have to wax.

QUOTE (2handsdon'tspillit @ 19/11/2012, 01:29 PM) I'd rather be Wonder Woman. Those big pants would mean I wouldn't have to wax. Catwoman would be better. Outfit is meaner and she doesn;t have to wax anything at all.

I'd rather the brains. Looks fade over time.

Brains. I'll then invent something to make me a gazillionaire, and if my money doesn't make me attractive enough, I'll hire people who just have to tell me I'm beautiful all the time. If that fails, I can always pay a plastic surgeon somewhere to make me look like Barbie.
