Smart or beautiful?

Last weekend I read an article about plastic surgery on Zeit.de.

It was mostly negative, saying how shallow the drive for beauty is. The usual blabla about more and more surgeries and how they will once be as normal as a haircut...

What truely shocked me was the following.

Petra, a German women's magazine, asked 1000 women if they would trade 10 IQ points for instantly erasing one beauty flaw. Almost 3/4 said yes...

Really? I mean, I understand that IQ points are somehow abstract and some people might not understand their meaning. But in a broader sense, they would like to become more stupid just to be more beautiful. It's sad how little some women value intelligence.

I think, it's a lot easier to lose weight or to buy clothes and makeup to make oneself more beautiful but it's nearly impossible to change your IQ.

    1. Es gibt noch einen interessanteren Artikel im Spiegel, allerdings ist er nicht bei Spiegel-online. Darin geht es um neue Operationsmethoden, bei denen die Knochen gebrochen werden... sehr gruselig aber irgendwie einleuchtend.

    1. Ja, passiert mir aber auch mit meinen Eltern... Sie reden einen Mix aus Chinesisch, Taiwanesich und Deutsch mit mir - da weiß ich auch manchmal nicht, in welcher Sprache sie gerade sprechen. Aber Hauptsache, man weiß, was gemeint ist :)
