By now you should know that my friends and I have some of the most outrageous discussions on almost all subject matters. This is one of our most recent arguments and I have decided to bring it to our GhanaCelebrities.Com readers to break down.
Although not the main subject for our night out, this happened to just take over the entire night as we couldn’t arrive at a solution. We have this friend, who is exceedingly intelligent, so much so that she went to Harvard on scholarship. So we taught she would be the luckiest with men since lately, most men are looking for serious minded women.
And she isn’t exactly plain looking. She is a dark, tall, pleasant-faced woman. But just as she was secure in her relationship, turns out her man was seriously cheating on her with other women who he considered much prettier. However, we have another friend who is exceptionally dumb on any day but she is extremely pretty and recently got married to a politician.
So one of my friends decides that she would prefer being pretty to being brainy any day. LoL. Because when push comes to shove, most men go for beauty instead of brains…We used many figures as examples: Presidents, Ball players, Heavy Weight musicians, Successful Entrepreneurs and more. Have always chosen the looks of a woman before anything else.
So since men all around the world have consistently proven that Beauty is key, more and more women who are smart still end up being jealous of the Beautiful women who are not so bright. Because ultimately, men are governed by their sight so they are more inclined towards beauty than what is in the mind of a woman.
The most ironic part of the situation is that most smart women, although they can pay their own bills, would still yearn for a man who is up there and pulls his weight. But unfortunately, even if you are a pretty brainy woman, most achieving men would want you to put a stop to your goals and build a life around him.
So what should the general consensus be? I know there are women who are smart and still very pretty but for this discussion, let’s stick to the two extremes of being either very pretty or very smart…Which would you choose to be as a woman and which would you choose to go with as a man?
To me if a girl is smart and fun to talk to than, her beauty wont really matter to me, I mean you don’t want someone who will spend hours photoshopping her face for hours. But brainy girls are always fun to talk to. The personality is more important than her looks, but “braininess” isn’t the main quality of a person’s personality. A woman could be beautiful and brilliant but a lousy person and no one would want her well I’m sure many guys actually would. Also, she could be unattractive and unintelligent but still be a good, kind, sweet person and that is way more valuable.
@Dr. Miyagi, eeeeee Miyagi nono….u know whatssaapp. But i think i would prefer to be both oooo, beauty with brains means a lot to me.
@Eaglebabe,lol I agree with you, since you got the beauty and brains and most important the personality
@Dr. Miyagi, Wow, I love how u broadened the topic.So now, which do men prefer?a lousy , pretty, smart girl or a pretty,dumb sweet one?(Dnt forget I know how u men like to rule and hate it when women know everything)Y’all usually see smart women as a threat(I stand to be corrected thou)Calibre, and all the smart men on here including Chris come speak ur mind.
@Adjoa Nbaaso),hahahaha you paaa why are you always going hard on us men geez. Well to be honest most men always go for “dumb girls” they usually not that judgmental, their nice, cute and they make you feel smarter. (In comparison to them) Also you can pretty much touch them and grope them all you want, they won’t slap you or be defensive, because obviously, they like it. Hope you understand where i am coming from but on the other side you got some man that Like smart girls when it comes to a serious relationship yes. It’s like everything though it’s a double edged sword. Smart paired with interesting, fun, etc is great. Smart paired with cocky and always right, no go. Many guys are scared off by good women though. He might feel dumb compared to you, or may feel like you would make him feel dumb.

@Adjoa Nbaaso),The only keeper of your happiness is YOU. If you stop giving people power to control your smile, your worth, your attitude
Very interesting TOPIC and would really love to hear from the men first.
@Adjoa Nbaaso),since this is an interesting TOPIC let me ask you and the rest of the girls this question
“Why do succesful, brainy and attractive girls prefer the stupid, douche, “swag” type of guy?
@Dr. Miyagi,
I certainly wouldn’t go for that type. The whole bad boy/ swag thing sounds like something you’d want when you’re like 16.
Also i’ll add, i have 4 brothers. they would not let such a type into our home lol.
@dove,I totally agree with you hahaha lol UK brothers they don’t joke at all when it comes to their sisters hahaha
@Dr. Miyagi,
When we all use to live together, I had 24 hour bodyguard service lol
@dove,lol there are even worst than me and my dad especially my dad but look from the bright side they did it for your own best will especially in the Netherlands Ghanaian girls are so loose so yeah you had a brotherly love but only in a torture way lol
@ Miyagi,
I definitely adore my brothers, they have honestly shaped who I am today. Perfect role models. I’m only 20 but i’m probably far more mature than my ages and it because they taught me to respect myself!
@dove,I can tell from the way you write your comments keep up the good work
@Dr. Miyagi, Its simply because girls naturally love it when men listen to them.They usually luv it when they play a major role in the lives of men.There is some sense of accomplishment when u can manipulate a man cuz its rare to find.(Boss lady feeling is what it is)
@Adjoa Nbaaso)interesting
I’ll just like to start that I am not a feminist in any shape or form. But actually reading stuff like this disappoints me. Women are constantly reduced their looks in society and to hear that some women would choose to be beautiful rather than intelligent is shocking. Yes, there are lot of men out there who are intimidated by intelligent women, and why? It’s because they have to be one hell of a guy to be able even converse with her. Why as a woman do you have to limit yourself so you can be in a relationship, its not the be all and end all in life. I totally disagree with the examples of people who’ve been cited as choosing beautiful women. Musicians, lets all be honest usually tend to be under-educated, why on earth would they choose an intelligent woman? It rarely happens. (to add, especially in the way they objectify women in their videos, doubt they care about brains). Politicians, well in the UK, several MPs have wives who are well to do, and are independent of their husbands for example, Nick Cleggs Wife. Probably the most famous politician atm, Obama, has a very intelligent wife, I mean i’d say they are equally matched in that department. And these days, I think its all about the power couples. Two intelligent people with great careers, coming together, it great really. I’ll just add after that rant, I really dislike stupid people, the world is what it is because there is a lot of stupidity around. I don’t like to see it in women. So many people have fought to get women recognised as equals in society and allowing us to have the right to an education, please utilise this! Rant over…… *sigh*
@dove,your comment is very deep, but I like your honesty you do make allot of sense
I prefer smartness to physical beauty. But one thing i realize (maybe its just me), there are very few women who are both physically beautiful and brainy. Looks like the most brainy ones are usually not beautiful physically.
@B.B,you so right about that I totally agree with you
Can y’all help me out here. How would you know which category you fall in; beauty but dumb, intelligent but not prettty, having both, or having none……heheheh….please help, i need to know where i fall!!!!!…lol
@mel,how is your personality, are you the type that wants things to go your way, or picky when it comes to dating a man better yet describe yourself in 3 words
