Intelligence can mean many things, such as being book smart, compared to street smart. However, beauty is different, more standard, there are certain qualities that if you possess generally you are attractive, such as being tall and having bright eyes.
I'd like to believe that I'm rather intelligent, and I have a great personality so I've been told, so I know what the world looks like from that lens. However, beautiful? I can't say I've been called that a lot so I'd go with beauty simply because I am curious to know what the world looks like through that lens. If I were beautiful how nicer would people be to me? How easy would it be for me to get what I want? Would I even need to have a personality? I want to know how would it play out if I were a handsome man in an American society.
Pretty shitty actually due to people's envy. Also some people automatically think good looking people are stupid. They degrade them. They see attractive people as simply a toy. Intelligence and beauty are like sub and dom. The beauty being the sub. Besides so many assumptions can be made already from someone beautiful. Like wow, he's a doucbebag. Or, wow, he must cheat in relationships.
I don't know. I just never thought society treats attractive people as many people think they do. Sure you may get a few crushes on you, but that's pretty much all.
I'm not going to lie, the more I think about the more you're probably right. You're seen more as an object than an actual person, and the ridiculous assumptions must really suck. Thanks for the enlightening comment broseph.
