Thankfully, I don't have to decide(smiles)! Okay, in all seriousness, people don't have to choose, many people just abuse their situation.

For example, many good looking people have been known over the years to take advantage of their sex appeal to get out of undesirable situations, or into desirable ones by playing dumb. People are eager to believe that attractive people are stupid, which in turn will help them find the less attractive people witty, and therefore attractive.

Many people who are, uh, less attractive want to hide this by attempting to appear more attractive by being clever.

It is of course, the fault of the media and models with a metabolism which was a direct gift from the Devil to taunt the rest of us into diets and wishful thinking.

Personally, I am not ever going to be voted 'Sexiest Mom,' but I am confident about myself, because I love and accept myself. Which is something we should strive to teach others, especially our dramatically affected youth.

I am not (and please read carefully here, as sometimes I will spout random intelligence)ever going to go down in history for my utterly devastating wit, however, I do on occasion make sense.

So, I guess, what I've been rambling about is there is no sense in choosing, people will just make assumptions and judge you anyways. Instead, compromise. Being beautiful outside, and in.
