However I look at it, I can't chooseoneover the other. I'd choose for intelligence if I had to make friends, yet I've never befriended one just because of their looks. In terms of relationship, I think both are important for me, maybe slightly tilting towards intelligence, but I still want to enjoy the way my partner looks..

Both. If you're going to dream, then dream big. However, I'm more attracted to an intelligentperson. If my partner is only attractive but willing to learn. That's enough for me as well. As long as we're trying to be better

Both have there importance and I dont believe there are to be compared/prioritised over the other.
Ive met such women that are sisters to me, smart, wise, funny and gifted in many great ways. We even get along very well and have brightfriendship and trust. But I could never think of kissing her.
On flip side, I also saw women that were breathtaking, so wonderful reason meant nothing so much there beauty were stuning. But only afewwords with them and it became clear that they were like beautyful gift box filled with pestilance.
So for my answer: both are important and cannot be ignore by the subject.

The question is not comparatively. There are peoplewhovalue a good look in the sense of beauty and others value more cognitive aspects. But beauty is a relative thing. Both are sets and it is up to the interpretation. 😄
Interesting answer.
I find appeance to be be the answer whether or not I choose to Introduce my self. People who look sketchy I wouldn't gonear. People who are well presented I would get to know. After that attraction will come

Obviously intelligence because my eyes can only see the beauty is all things... and for sure much of it lacks intelligence 😶🌫️

I prefer personality. We're all intelligent in our own way and as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Personality. Some people are born without a great appearance and some don't have the greatest brain but what's most important to me is what someone does with what they are given and what they *can* control

True. Good appearance or intelligence if they are not accompanied by a good personality, it is just a pile of superficiality.

For one thing, confidence is what I really think makes the look, confidence is what makes them sexy, and confidence grows from experience and intelligence, so to me it's really kind of all the same thing.

Intelligence, always. But it's looks that gets the eye and provokes the approach to "test" the intelligence.

While both are important, would definitely choose intelligence. I'd rather have an intelligent conversation with an unattractive person than an intelligent conversation with an attractive person.

Intelligence? Why? Because it allows you to have more thoughtfulideas... when it comes to find the right look for instance!
Smart is the new best: own it y'all! 😀

Why not both? I think appearance is subjective matter. Meanwhile, intelligence is not. No matter how bad or good you think you look, people have differentopinion. So if you work on yourself, you could be both beautiful and intelligent to some.

Yes, the question is in a context of logic. Just as some prioritize one side or another, some also prioritize both sides. And intelligence is not always related to someone's opinion, it goes beyond that is beauty is really subjective and just like intelligence some work to improve this side in itself, others not. 😊

Intelligence, because if your nothing but a pretty face then it's like talking to a piece of art. You ooh and ahh the painting/sculpture, but that's it no sense of being or just behind it.

Intelligence. Appearance is related to genetics and mental health, and working around them takes intelligence.
