For the THRICE, brothers and sisters, my opponent wants this to be one way when it's the other way. Nowhere in the language does it say the smart person is ugly or the attractive, popular person is stupid. Because if that's the case nobody is choosing a partner they aren't physically attracted to. Who says a good looking person has no personality? Dumb ppl have personalities too lol. Nobody cares who YOU would hire, as if you're the only employer on earth lol. Many studies show more attractive people get employed and work their way up faster. This ain't about you, this is about society. And the way society is, it behooves you to work smarter on yourself and in your choice of mate and 2nd parent to your child. Given this, and the fact that the world has not crumbled and is still spinning, important jobs are and can be done by people that aren't eye sores and are liked and respected by those around them.

My opponent is also over complicating concepts that are very simple. The root word of attractive is attract, which means appealing to one's senses, being inviting, etc. Popular means liked/admired by many people. People who understand that the more people that pick up what they're putting down gives you an advantage in life are the ones that get farther by capitalizing off it. Choosing an attractive and popular mate only works in your favor. Those types of people cast wide nets. I've already explained why financially it helps. It helps in the home as well. That good private school you want your kid to go to? Who can schmooze the dean if that's not your strength? Don't like a certain policy your HOA just passed? Who can get into their ear and go about reversing it? If a lot of people like your partner, you like him/her too, nigga! That's why you're with them lol. All that is is reaffirmation you chose well. And people witnessing you choose partners well reflects even better on you. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

If appearance made no difference in the long run nobody would dress up for job interviews, dates, the club, etc and companies wouldn't be paying top dollar for super bowl ads and marketing wouldn't be a thing. My opponent mentioned confidence and power, which have absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. Confidence is a PHYSICAL attribute. You can sense a confident person just by watching them without ever having a conversation with them or knowing their intelligence level. Power is a measure of influence. A popular person most definitely has power.

As for kids...if the IC is any indication of real life, no man is wifing a woman and having a child with her because she's smart lol. You don't learn to maintain a home and provide stability in a classroom. Lets keep it real...educated black women are the least married group. I'm not teaching my kids to value their looks above all else. But I will teach them that in the real world, others will. So use that. Keeping yourself together is a SKILL. Being a people person is a SKILL. Word to Dale Carnegie.

Again, brothers and sisters, my opponent is over complicating simple concepts. I'm not the one for this bullshit...the two or the three...

First off, of course no single attribute is gonna get you hired, wifed, appreciated, respected, etc. Idek why you made this point lol. Nobody should choose partners just because they look good or just because they have a PhD. It's natural to take in a person's essence (or as much of it as you can) when deciding if that's somebody worth keeping around. You've been on the IC for years. We don't like you just because you give good financial advice and that's all. Attractive people with good personalities are a valuable commodity. Smart people are also valuable commodities. But smart people get overlooked ALL THE TIME. I bet everybody on this site knows somebody that went to college and isn't working in their field of study. How many college grads are working at Tim Horton's? Lol. A bad bitch tho? Rarely, if ever, is she getting overlooked. We've all heard the classic story of somebody walking down the street minding their business and getting scooped up for a modeling contract. Nobody is rushing to pick smart people out of crowds.

Secondly, you threw in these made up terms and put the word intelligence behind it like I don't see what's going on. Mechanical intelligence...my nigga, are you serious? Lololol. I'll give you emotional and social intelligence...but keep it simple...what is the reason behind why you're utilizing those tools? TO ATTRACT OTHERS. Let's not beat around the bush here - by being able to appeal to a lot of people, you are being ATTRACTIVE. When a lot of people like you, you are POPULAR. No Scar, but the point that I must emphasize is...in the real world, you lead with what gets you noticed first. Since intelligence isn't a physical discernible trait, you have to prove it no matter how long it takes. Strong chance you won't get the opportunity to prove that if you don't present yourself in an attractive way.

It's true that there are both attractive and unattractive people that are successful. Neither attractiveness nor intelligence are getting anybody anywhere on their own. You brought up Jay...Beyonce helps Jay out in ways he wouldn't imagine without her. Her music is exclusively on Tidal. Without that, you know there would be less subscribers which means less $ for him. They use each other to build their relationship. But if Beyoncé wasn't attractive and loved worldwide their collective success wouldn't be what it is.

As for my last post...look I'm an educated black woman. That stats show, however, that when we marry, we marry down. We don't get the luxury of marrying someone with our achievements level. Which shows that men are not as interested in women's intelligence as you claim.

I would like to be with someone that I am attracted to, but at the same time being cute isn't going to pay the bills.

I'd rather be with someone that is both halfway good looking and smart.
