[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thread about whether beauty contributes to lifetime success led me to wonder why some women with above-average intelligence believe they are superior to a naturally beautiful woman. [b]Just as beauty is a gift of nature, so it intelligence.[/b] So why do some women claim moral virtue if they've been particularly blessed in the brains department? And why do they seem to gleefully disparage beauty?[/quote] I don't know that I'd agree with that. I'm probably considered beautiful and intelligent. The natural intelligence has been used in concert with a lot of hard work and studying. It's been nurtured more. It feels like something I have more control over. The beauty just requires sunscreen and waxing to keep up. I don't feel as invested in it. The beauty will fade, but the intelligence will serve you forever. [/quote]
