See what I meant here about the good peeps of the online romance community?

If you could choose to be born with one of the following attributes, which one would you pick?
Beauty?
Brains?
Amazing athletic ability?
This is a conversation, that myself and my girlfriends had the other day.
It seems pretty straight cut, that most people would pick brains, and indeed, I picked brains initially, but then Friend No 1 asked what if I could stand being super-intelligent, but ugly as sin (yes, I know, beauty is in th eye of the beholder, but whatever), and this made me pause.
Friend no. 2 tried to quote a stat from somewhere that apparently proved that beautiful people were usually more successful than ugly intelligent people. (She couldn’t name her source, so I’m assuming it was something she read in OK! magazine.)
I think she may have had a point. No, seriously. Political correctness be damned.
Anyway, I changed my mind, and picked beauty. I know, I know, and me a bordeline feminist too.
The thing is, being born beautiful is a much more useful attribute, because instead of working hard for success, I could simply marry a successful man. Or sleep my way to the top. *g*
Shallow much? Unfortunately, not shallow enough, because I suddenly remembered how much dumb people piss me off, and went back to brains.
Which one would you choose? And don’t be afraid to be shallow, I certainly wont be judging you for it. *G*
