Beauty Over Brains
The topic is "Which is better in life: Brains or Beauty?" It is a persuasive essay. B. Nichol

Most people in life tend to look at the “Beauty” of a person before brains when in fact it should be the other way around. Having brains over beauty will open up many new opportunities and you will be able to sustain a relationship longer as well.
Having brains will open better job opportunities. You will be able to follow through with job task and expectations. With a better job, your pay will reflect your capabilities. Therefore enabling you to purchase a larger house, nice vehicles, vacations, and condos within other states or countries. And also able to have a large portfolio for retirement. With brains, you are always expanding on it as you are always learning new things. With brains, you are less likely to make stupid decisions that could cause you to ruin your life. You will also live longer due to the decisions you make.
Brains also last longer than beauty and your relationship with a person will sustain and be more positive. If you were to only look at beauty in a relationship, that beauty will someday fade and there will be nothing else left. With focus on brains, you will grow together and always have a connection.
Having only beauty would be the only thing you have. Once that is gone a person has nothing else to offer someone. People would only use you because of your beauty and you might only have a job and other things in life based upon your looks. Not what you are capable of doing in life, just how you look. You would not be respected as much even though people still should.

    One theory is ‘The Matching Hypothesis’ which is a social psychological theory based on relationships, proposed by Goffman in 1952. It suggests that in order for a relationship to be a long and successful one; both partners in the relationship must be equally matched in attractiveness. The reason for this is due to fear of rejection, therefore when searching for a potential life partner the primary drive is to select someone who is similarly attractive.…

    One theory put forward for the formation of romantic relationships was by Murstein – called the Matching Hypothesis. Murstein argued that we all desire the best looking person; however we accept that this may not happen, so we go for people with a similar attractiveness to ourselves. It makes us far less likely to suffer rejection. So, in theory, Murstein’s argument is fundamentally based on physical attractiveness and does not take into account personality. Murstein says that self esteem can also affect this process. If someone suffers from a low self esteem, they are more likely to go for someone who is not as good looking as them to try and boost their esteem. This also works in reverse, if someone has a high self esteem they will go for someone who they believe is ‘out of their league’ as they feel they have the confidence to make them their partner. Murstein also carried out research to support his theory. He studied 99 couples who were dating and compared them with randomly paired couples. He found that the real couples were consistently rated as more alike in levels of attractiveness.…

    Evolutionary theory states that body symmetry and symmetrical faces are desired characteristics, Cartwright (2000) found that women who have symmetrical breasts are more fertile than those with asymmetrical breasts. This supports the idea that body symmetry indicates reproductive fitness which leads to evolved characteristics, and allows women to have high self-esteem. Furthermore, other than symmetrical body and face structures males use physical attractiveness to judge how fit a female is to reproduce. Men look of more attractive females however females look for men who can provide good state of wealth. This is due to men only looking for the characteristics of reproduction and successive care of children from females. Although men and women both look into different characteristic, females are choosier since they have a larger investment and therefore more to lose. However, the study cannot be supported since a disadvantage of this study is that female may alter the appearance in order to seem young and fertile, while men may also lie and exaggerate on the amount of…

    Perfection is an unattainable standard in life, no matter how society aspires to achieve it. Therefore, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain, his decision to create an ideal resolution for the characters might upset readers; the concept of a perfect ending is unrealistic and lessens the pragmatic approach that he incorporated throughout the novel with the use of historical accuracy. Furthermore, traveling deeper into the South endangers the characters, the constant and recurring theme of racism, and the regression of Huck that contradicts the belief the ending suits each character.…

    The eyes, the heart, the brain all play an important role on attraction, but neurons communicate that sudden interest towards something or someone in the brain. Humans’ emotions are very complex because sometimes one cannot explain why and how they like or are attracted to someone. Thus, making it difficult to say that all people are attracted to the same thing. People might feel an attraction toward a similar thing, but the attraction is often determined differently in each individual because each individual thinks and expresses differently. For example, Personality, looks, attitude, good sense of humor are some of the common characteristics that some individuals are attracted to and consider in future partners.…

    Choices we make for dating and marriage prospects rate differently according to sex and culture. The evolutionary theory predicts that women will value financial prospects higher than men do (Boyd, 2006, 461). Because women have a larger parental investment in a child, they want to be with a mate who will be able to take care of them. In David Buss ' research he found that knowing a persons culture rather than gender will indicate preferences except for good financial prospects(Boyd, 2006, 465). For men in Western Culture good financial prospects are lower on their list and good looks is higher. This may be because women who are more attractive to them give the signal that they are less likely to have diseases, and possible based on their body type may be more fertile. Men and women also differ in the preference for the age of their partners. Men tend to date younger women while women date older men. This relates to the evolutionary theory because men’s fertility only slightly decreases with age, while women fertility ends as they reach menopause. It would make sense in evolutionary terms for men to choose women who have the ability to have children and are therefore younger. In actual practice men do choose women that are younger but not all of them are able to have children. “Older men may desire younger women, but they may also want to find someone who shares their tastes in music, has similar goals in life, and so on” (Boyd, 2006, 462). They may also settle with knowing that they may…

    What I believe attract us to one another is the physical appearance, what we see when we first meet a person, although there’s often more to that. The reason I say this is some people can meet someone who they physically like, but can be easily turned off by their personality or it can be the opposite where the person overlooks how less attractive the other person may be but their personality is what may have captured them. All other things being equal, we prefer highly attractive individuals as dates, as friends, and to interact with in a general situation. This so happens to be true in today’s society, women my age tend to want to hang around attractive or pretty girls oppose to someone who is less attractive. It makes them and their whole circle of friends look good. While individuals might desire a relationship with an attractive person, they might not desire a relationship with the not so attractive individual. For example, most people tend to date those who they feel they are more attractive too or have the same type of similarities and personalities from those who are less attractive but may not have the same similarities. I often wonder does it matter if the person you’re attractive to don’t share the same qualities. Even though opposites can attract whether their attractive or not?!…

    Next I turn to the biological perspective, this focuses on bodily events affect behavior feelings and thoughts. This to me brings to mind the age old quote “can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them” when referring to my grandparents. This especially in relationships I believe is very important, your biology I believe has a lot to do with whom you will be in relationships, not just looks but subconsciously according to a study done by the bbc “ Women still subconsciously choose their mates based largely on their biology” the same is still true about men whom our book states still base attraction off of age.

    Why We Form Relationships

    There are many reasons as to why we form relationships with a person. Appearance is one of those reasons. Most people claim that a person’s personality is the main reason why we get into a relationship with them and not by the way they look which is really not true. There has to be some type of attraction towards their appearance because the way they look is extremely important in the early stages of a relationship. Even if your appearance isn’t considered beautiful by societal standards, people will find you attractive if you’re just ordinary-looking with an amazing personality that fits the other persons needs. Attractive beauty may open doors to a relationship but it takes way more than just being attractive to keep a relationship going.…
