Are smart people ugly? The Explainer's 2011 Question of the Year
- paulhauggis 15y agoI don't think smart people are ugly. Many just don't concentrate on making themselves look better. Clothes, hairstyle, grooming, etc makes a big difference.
- lelele 15y agoMoreover, if you are not attractive, people won't value you on the basis of your appearance, hence you are less likely to care about it.
- ajays 15y agoThere are a couple of things at work here. 1) Some people choose to spend their time on learning and improving their brains, instead of their outward appearances. Over time, this makes them smarter than those who don't. 2) In most societies, good-looking people often have it easier; as a result, if you're not good-looking, you have to work harder. Which, in turn, makes you smarter over time.
