Today’s topic:
Would you rather be super intelligent or extremely good looking?
Hands down, I’d go with the intelligence. That should win over extremely good looks any day anyway (my opinion of course).
In fact, I feel I have more or less lived a life along the lines of being more intelligent rather than good looking. Ok, not putting myself down completely, but growing up, I wasn’t considered too attractive being an overweight Asian girl. But of course, with Asian stereotypes come the “Oh, she’s smart because she’s Asian!” remarks.
That was flattering to an extent. I know I didn’t fare too well in math, so when classmates saw my terrible math grades, it was embarrassing to have them say, “But, I thought….Chinese people were supposed to be smart in math!”
Not all of them, my friends!
