Would you rather be 5% smarter or 5% better looking? The catch is, which ever one you choose to increase, the other goes down bu the same amount.

Better looking. I'm really smart, but look like a potato.

Better looking. Reason for being single for so long has always been too smart and not good looking enough.

C8 I take the point. I think it would be interesting to know ppls ages and responses here. The older I have gotten the less I care about looks. The last time I straightened my hair or put on mascara was well before the pandemic and I would never want to be with someone who gave a shit about that lol

I mean, there is more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking so I’ll give up on 5% of these ridiculous good looks to just be really ridiculously good looking and get smarter

Good looks gets you far. 5% is relative though but from what I can tell. A girl that’s 5% prettier than average can make more than me on her onlyfans account alone.

5% less smarter and 5% less good looking, that way I can fit in better with the rest of you, currently a shining star

See a lot of strategic mistakes being made in this crowd. If you are already significantly stronger in one of these traits, taking a 5% hit in your strong trait to gain a 5% increase in your weak trait is a horrible move. Lean into your strengths, and take the more significant bump (and the smaller trade off). Otherwise you’re just making yourself more mediocre.

After 50 is irrelevant? LMAO - no son, it is certainly not...

Prettier. I’m pretty now but I need a husband. I work hard and that can offset the decrease in smartness

Meh! 5% is nothing. I can easily become 5% hotter by showering & 5% smarter by shutting the hell up.

Better looking because plastic surgery is more expensive than a Udemy class.

But smarter will likely get you richer which will allow you to go to a better plastic surgeon and make more of a difference!

Hi Sharks,

I am a Software Engineer from India. Require job in Singapore in a reputed company.

Roles - Business Analyst/ Data Analyst/ Business Intelligence Engineer/ Data Engineer.

YOE - 1.2 yrs

Remote work is fine too.

TIA.

Additional Posts in Consulting

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years? For reference, I’ve been an Army Reserves officer for the last 5 years since coming off active duty, and spend about 30-40 hours per month (outside of 2-4 week annual training) on that job. So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
