What you fail to realize is that going for beauty IS the best way to find an intelligent person with personality, and that's exactly what most people don't grasp, courtesy of hundreds of years of indoctrination whereby beauty runs contrary to intelligence or kindness when in actuality, they tend to go hand in hand.
Also do you have any idea how dumb most hot girls are?
This is simply not true and in my view demonstrates that you don't have the experience you claim to have with beautiful women. Truth is, you're much more likely to stumble upon an interesting, intelligent and cultivated person if said person is good looking. Why? Simply because beauty is nature's way to show us the comparative amount of harmony and perfection (in terms of lack of defect) there is in an individual (genes, DNA) compared to another.
What is a beautiful circle, triangle or square? A shape that tends towards perfection. Beauty is the comparative and qualitative difference between 2 items of the same group i.e. between 2 circles, the one who tends towards perfection (circularity) will be considered beautiful/more beautiful than the other one. This definition applies to all forms of beauty, human beauty included. And that's just from a conceptual, philosophical level.
From an empirical level, things are pretty much the same as studies clearly show that attractive people tend to be smarter and healthier than unattractive ones. They show that there is a positive correlation between beauty and intelligence and between beauty and health. Those are just facts and it's time our collective psyche and weltanshauung integrates that once and for all.
Why do you think beautiful people are more successful? Why do they have more professional opportunities and earn higher salaries? Why do they have more romantic opportunities? Why do they seem more confident and reliable? Why does a beautiful woman earn more than an average looking one? Why do we trust good looking people more easily? Why do we forgive them more easily? Why do we punish them less harshly? Those are all the questions you need to ask yourself before calling everybody dumb left and right. Is it only because they look good? Or are they also competent? You need to understand first, then emit an opinion that will this time be an informed one, not a simple rehash of what you've heard and taken for granted your whole life.
Give me an a woman with a personality - and decent looks, no more required - that can keep my brain intrigued any day of the year
As said, if this is truly your aim, then you have been doing it wrong your whole life because empirical studies, reason and common sense shows us that what you are looking for is more likely to be present in an attractive person than in an unattractive one. If you haven't noticed that, it means, either that you don't have this experience of beauty you claim or that you don't know what intelligence is and don't recognize it when it's in front of you. Neither of them should be seen as an insult, we all lie to ourselves and to others to some extent, even those who claim they don't, and not all forms of intelligence are obvious and readily identifiable.
given the arguments you brought to the discussion
What arguments do
you bring? I don't see any.
Are you a dumb hot girl or a dumb hot guy?
The readiness you display to call me dumb - even tough i said nothing of the sort and can demonstrate every point - is quite striking. Do intelligent people usually call others dumb for no other reason than expressing an opposite opinion? Have you ever wondered where this association between beauty and stupidity that you find so self-evident comes from? Serious questions. And no, i'm not offended, just using maieutics here.
As for my own appearance, i will let you be the judge of it based on what i wrote here, even though, at the end of the day, it should have no incidence whatsoever over the veracity of my sentiment. But yeah, i'm a dude. See, for a split second, you hoped i was a hot chick. Why is that you think? (It's your brain telling you that hot is better than average)
As for this:
I can afford to go for looks any day of the year, and other than one night stands where I do go for the hotties and get a lot of them, it's never my first priority in a relationship
I don't believe any part of that sentence, beginning, middle or end, but this is just a matter of opinion and unprovable so i'm not gonna try to demonstrate it, just state again that people who can go for looks, will go for looks, especially men, which is why 99.9% (estimation made on the fly) of the powerful, famous and filthy rich all have an incredibly hot partner. How do you explain that? Are they all incredibly stupid? Really?
REALLY? You know, your stupidity explanation can only go so far. At one point you will simply have to revise everything you've been told and reassess the situation.
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefsī²
