Intelligence is most definitely not the only measure of betterness.

why not?...
Because being 'better' or 'good' is both subjective and varied. You can't base it only off of intelligence, because that is not the only trait with the prospect of being positive. Being kind is better than being mean. Being creative is better than being stale. Being logical is better than being irrational. But, you also have to take into account that, like I said, better is subjective. We think it is 'better' to be kind, but in some cases, as with war lords of the past or satan, they were obviously better at being mean.
And then there's being smart, which is better than being dumb.
i get your point :) but being nice isn't going to get you out of a situation such as....lets say your'e faced with how to stop an atom from splitting when hit with a particle accelerated in an atom smasher. :confused:
well one is in geneva switzerland*put it is just a particle accelerator
Because im a 3 and I married a 10
You might think a 1 or a 2 would be considered better if they married a 10, but if they are a 1 or a 2 they are to ugly to be better than me.
bum, girls marry for stability not physical attraction.
That dont make my comment any less valid.
Look at my profile album and deny that im a 3 and shes a 10.
If you say I traded up because im stable, than hell maybe your right, but for whatever reason she sleeps with me and I really dont care why, im just glad that she does.
what
you are so smart and lovely
You disagree with me, tell me to look at a picture, then agree with me. Keep your flippin' mouth closed, drphil3. I don't care what you look like, who you're married to or what they look like. Nobody does. Your anecdote is an anecdote is anecdote.
First off this is a "fun" thread I was joking around, you didnt have to get so serious.
Second at what point did I ever disagree with you? after you made your comment I figured I would make another joke, thats why I said... "that dont make my statement any less valid" That means...... I agree with you but im still a 3 and shes a 10. But as I said i was only joking, that kind of happens in a thread entitled "Im better than you"
But maybe im wrong maybe everyone really believes all the things they have been sayin in this thread and im the wierd one. If thats the case im buying stock in Ovaltine.
Sheesh so far I have been called dumb for making a joke in a jokey thread, I have been called extremely offensive because I suggested timed servers in a suggestion box thread, and I was told that not everyone thinks like me in a thread where people were stating opinions.....Either im poopyin everyone off or im getting really popular, in either case im only here killin time until 160 opens.
Right here:
when you said that what I said wasn't true.
The reasons you give for what you say are asinine. What you say is convoluted nonsense. You are not very good at conveying your thoughts into words for other people to comprehend. You type gibberish.
No, you're just dphil3. Aren't you? You didn't respond to my first accussation, so I'm making it again. You are drphil3 under an alt.
I tried to private message you as to not argue in the thread, but you blew that off so here is your answer... No I am not drphil3, I didnt answer that because I didnt realize that was an actual forum person. I thought you were making fun of me by calling me the real life Dr. Phil.
If it makes you feel better I was being sarcastic with my original post (I was under the impression that was the point of the thread), so technically you are right. I dont really think im a 3, of course people marry for stability, and I dont really think im better than anyone. I do have to think my wife is a 10 all husbands should.
Can someone please start jokeing again and lighten it up in here.
I am better than myself because no one can be better at being me than myself right? :rofl:
lmao poor bum783 the forums should realy realy come with a poopy warning but youre finding out the hard way lmfao hahaha
I figured there would be a few I just have to figure out which ones I want too be a poopy back too.
Im better than you because
I have a sense of humour and I dont take life so seriously.
I found out the hard way when I was new to people around here seem to forget what it was like to be new ....
so your saying, someone with an avatar of a bloody pink rabbit ISNT looking for stability???
That cant be right
looks like it :) i was looking for more then just that... if you smart and clever and good looking then then you can reach for ways more then just stability
damn im only 2 out of 3
My girlfriend wouldn't be with me if she was looking for stability.
When we met I had just gotten out of active duty Marine Corps, was drinking 7 days a week, smoking a pack a day, constantly blazed, living with 4 other people, and had no income.
That was almost 3 years ago April.
Since always.
Sure, there are millions of examples that 'prove' me wrong by showing the opposite, but women overwhelmingly are attracted to money and stability more so than their mate's physical appearance.
Boys want to stick it in all the pretty girls to make as many healthy and attractive babies as possible and girls want to find the 1 man that will give them the most money, security and safety to raise all their children.
I would love to continue arguing this with you, anna, so please try your hardest to find a fault in what I say.
Everybody's right. It's instinctual for females of almost all species to search for a mate with the best traits, stronger males were more 'stable.'
Being strong usually ties into looks as well. The most impressive, biggest, strongest, or most colorful, were better. "Most colorful" ties into physical attraction but either way, physically better males were more stable males.
Also, since better looking people are more likely to be successful, do to their confidence (social skills) and strength (more security than a smaller male), they are more attractive. This attraction can be related to a subconscious search for stability.
Also, smarter men are normally successful as well, so that ties into stability too.
So physical attraction and 'chemistry' is a big factor, but they are all related to stability just as much as money is, so... everybody right!
You've obviously have never met a woman from the Detroit projects, or ever seen an episode of cops. Those women clearly did not marry for security, or money. They did have a lot of babies though.
but I do have a serious question for you rasterbee. If women are attracted to stable men, than why do some of them cheat on their husbands when the provide that stability. I think because sick nailed it (no pun intended) as much as you would like to simplify it, life is too complicated to figure out in an evony forum
I don't get the pun.
Not only is there not a pun but everything bum783 said (again) is just anecdotal. Fer christs sake bum, say something meaningful, for once....one time, please one time say something that has relevance.
Sick, "better looking people are more likely to be successful"....
Nah.
Just nah.
C'mon.
You're better than that.
I know you are.
You know you are.
I'm really not.
I'm better than than uglier people, because i'm not as ugly.
People would pick me over uglier people. Also cause i'm smart.
Smart and prettier than uglier = success.
You're not arguing against what I disagreed with you on.
....you're better than this.
I know you are.
You know you are.
I know you know you are.
You know I know you know you are.
C'MON
Go to sleep.
I'm better than you.
ok. i like to make my own money so i dont have to count on anyone then my own - what is mine stays mine. i would hate to not be independent!
as for the boys wanna stick in... well i only want the good looking for that too cause:
- i wanna have fun
- i wanna be satisfied
- i wanna have beautiful kids!!!! sure i could hope my kid gets all my attributes but hey we all know how huge the pool with dna is...
- i also wanna make healthy kids ( money is not a guarantee to get that, good looking fit man is)
- i also wanna have intelligent kids, therefore the man has to be intelligent too!
so yes i looked for intelligent good looking man to make sure the kid will be all that aswell and i looked for intelligent man to make sure if i marry him he can always keep up with me and we also can have good conversations.. but not less important: the quallity time in bed kitchen or whereever will be always like uhhh UHHHH OHHH - well he needs to make me scream
I honestly don't know what you look like but based on this comment, you are just plain ugly on the inside imho. But then again, most people who call themself pretty are just dog-butt ugly souls and most people who tell you how smart they are are just plain stupid, ignorant savages.
Modesty, empathy and a loving heart are beautiful traits.
Self agrandisement and a judgemental attitude may prop up your sense of self worth but late at night, when you are laying in bed all alone, that little voice in your head that points out all your failings and weaknesses is telling you the truth. You should realise this because that little voice is you.
So you agree with me then, anna.
Physical appearance is not the most important, nor near one of the most important.
Thanks, I'm glad we could clear that one up.
You took my example too seriously. I was clarifying the point I made previously about better looking people being more successful.
If you knew me personally, you may not think me one of 'self aggrandizement' or undeserved judgement.
So, stop assuming things based on some nonsense I posted in response to Raster's nonsense. It's late, I suck at examples, I wasn't talking about personality traits or value. It's also quite hypocritical to condemn judgmental attitudes when you just viscously insulted me, based on a post you clearly did not understand.
glad you put most. cause when you good looking you take advantage of it in most parts of live and it works ;)
negative part - good looking can make you be lonely now and then cause it seams harder to find a perfect match...
ugly people have it easier sometimes.
a good friend of mine once said:'' go take a ugly dude then you dont have to worry someone else could go for him'' it was funny
but then again - when a ugly dude has a good looking woman he tends to cheat more often cause of his ego problems.
while a good looking man dont need many females to know that he is good, the ugly man seam to always need to proof himself he can have females.
i always wondered why - if a man cheats on his woman - the woman he pick is usually not even close as good looking as his own. but then again ugly woman are easier to get maybe cause the just thankfull there is one who is doin them too? or they also have to proof themself i can have many men? (while the good looking KNOWS she can have many men so no proof needed and that leads to no cheating needed?)
no my english must have failed again. i just wanna say if a man ist not hot he wont get me to marry him... but also wont get me if he is not intelligent. BUT he can have me even he has not much money - and money is most important for stabillity!
so good looking, good in bed, good father quallities, intelligent and with a job. the amount of money does not matter - when both work you can have a nice life
SBD, you know that I have been around longer than you, so you should realise I only attack stupid posts and posters for being stupid. Indeed, I even let stupid go most times, as long as it's not stupid and hurtful but you posted something that was both so wear it.
AnnaG, my heart bleeds for all the pretty people who suffer so much for their prettiness. NOT! Give me a break for the love of cheeses. It must be really difficult to find anyone who you would consider a "perfect match" for you because your ego keeps getting in the way. Get over yourself. Seriously.
I am done, I have wasted too much time on this thread already. [that's 2 minutes of my life I will never get back]
Rodri, stop drunk posting. We love you, but come back when you're clear headed and sober.
You're taking my post too personally. It was meant to be an objective example of my point, which is a simple fact. The use of the word 'I' was just the way I conveyed my example.
You have no idea how I view myself or others, and while you preach caring and condemn judgement, you don't practice either of these traits in your posts.. at least not in these ones.
It wasn't a stupid post. Babies stare at pretty people longer than ugly people. Prettier models get more jobs. Prettier actors also get more jobs.
Notice also how I stated, 'prettier than uglier'
That could simply mean the best of two ugly people.
So, like I said, you just didn't understand my post and took it personally, then got all mad. Calm down, stop insulting people and posting in a rude fashion.
lucky i'm sane after all i've been through...(everbody say i'm cool......he's cool)
i can't complain but sometimes i still do
life's been good to me so farrrrrrrrrrrr...
