Beauty is an attribute most people want to be associated with especially when it has to do with that person you intend to spend the rest of your life with. But lately, some men have shoved it behind, going instead for brains in the pursuit for a spouse.

Having heard from a number of men, their stance on the subject differs. While some men do not want beautiful women for wives for reasons such as; other men chasing her, the wife feeling arrogant because of her beauty and a lot more; some others would not mind getting a beauty with brains. Another set of men feel all they need is brains since they need an intelligent woman to plan a life with.

A married man had once seen a beautiful girl and said “If I wasn’t married, I would marry you for your beauty irrespective of your character or anything else”.
While a lot of men dated beautiful and in some cases not very smart women during the very youthful stage of their lives, study reveals that not all of such end up with women in that category. In fact, most men would rather have beauty and brains but only on rare occasions will you see that one that wants a beautiful-brainless wifey. Majority of the men I’ve spoken to ask if I want them to marry a dummy with fine face.

It’s funny though that these set of men adamantly refuse to marry what they term ‘ugly’ women just because she has more brains than Bill Gates but agree that they can settle for not-so-cute but with brains.

So, women would you marry a man who doesn’t necessarily see you as attractive and beautiful but gives your intellect a thumbs-up?

Men, which do you prefer; beauty or brains? Or both?

Most men will take beauty over brains. Look at the threads on Nairaland....many dumb asses crying and complaining about the beauties they have chosen. How can one expect to live a happy life with a dumb biatch?

I'll go for both o, haba, i do not need a lady who is too intelligent neither do i need one who is too beautiful cos they both have their 'shadow objectives'. I'll rather go for a babe who is of average intelligence and beauty. Say a babe with IQ of 125. Yeah, i don't need a genius

Is having a bit of both too much to ask for?

for me, beauty any day. This should be on the debate

beauty. I have enough brains for the two of us

omega25red: beauty. I have enough brains for the two of us

Beync: keep wishing

Keep lying

The Op wants u pick one btw beauty and brains. Pick one and stop acting like illiterates. Everyone wants both the question is which one is ur priority. If u can't pick then don't comment. By the way I go for brains anyday. I can't be hanging around with a dumb b.iat.ch.

A chick wiv a 125IQ is a near genius in Naija setting.

Brains make beta wives. You don't want a wife that can't contribute intellectually to plans for the kids, family etc.
