    Mea Culpa.

    I actually find the reverse is true, when it comes to attraction, which does not necessarily make people good looking, just in the eye of the beholder. i.e. Intelligent people become good looking...

    I have been in various situations where I have been conversing with a member of the opposite sex, one whom I might not have found immensly physically attractive at the start of the conversation. However, after many minutes of conversing she would become extreemly attractive. Can't really explain it tbh, each to their own and all that.

    For me, the mind, is the only sex organ.

    I'm gorgeous and quite intelligent. Anyway what annoys me is that when kiera or any of these people post anything on any thread, a load of nerds start kissing up to them with compliments and agreeing with everything and such.
    Hi, I think you're beautiful. Can I send you a tulip?

    Mmmm...fresh troll...

    If they don't talk to ya slag 'em, eh, OP?

    I only read the first two posts in this thread (that was hilarious Tar :p) because I don't think this thread is worthy of me reading the entire thing. Infact, it's not even worthy of me posting here, but I'm bored and I didn't go out tonight so I need something to do with my time.

    This thread is retarded, completely and utterly retarded. The OP is devoid of clue, for several reasons (and more!). I'll start with the thread title. You can be good looking and intelligent, and you proved this point in the first post in this thread. SS has a degree, that shows that she exhibits some intelligence, how much is not an issue here. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm sure that every intelligent woman is not single, and I'm sure they're not virgins either.
    I for one, know several intelligent good looking women. The fact that you are even making generalising like this is retarded. If Kiera and SS are treated differently by users on here after they posted their pics it's because there's alot of sad lonely people on here who haven't had much contact with the female kind, boards is their world, and good looking females appear here. How do you expect them to react? In real life they'd probably mess themselves and run home, but it's easy to talk to someone over the intarweb. I don't think that SS or Kiera changed the way they act after they posted their pics, OTHER people did. The psycho geeks did. I could go on and on and on, and I will if you still don't get it. But I am going to assume you're not a complete waste and that you have gotten the point by now.

    Good points, assuming you're not attractive. If you are then just be quite you big stupid ejit!

    Newsflash OP, I'm not a bloke... Your theory (subject line) is totally bogus aswell.

    It's late and I'm not going to rehash what everyone else has already said a million times over. SS might be smart, she doesn't portray herself as such on here. Posting your pics over and over again and prodding people to reply and compliment you is not smart imho. You don't have to agree, you know what, that's why they're called opinions and not facts.

    Perhaps my post came across more "harsh" than it should have, but tbh it's annoying coming in here and seeing these so-called `intelligent' women prancing around trying to get people's attention for their looks, not their brains. I have not seen any witty intelligent posts by certain people, only pictures and "hihihi how do i look in this one?". There are people who have posted their pics in that thread who are very pretty but make valid points and don't continually treat this place like it's hotornot or myspace/bebo or personal ego-massage parlor.

    [v late edit] And just in case it wasn't clear, none of this has anything at all to do with the way anyone looks, and I don't agree that you can't be attractive and smart at the same time obviously[/edit]

    SS is the lady who was taking unsolicited photos with her telephone of unkempt women in Westmeath. Her commentary was not what one would expect from an intelligent woman with a degree in God alone knows what.

    Incidentally he holiday photo portrayed her in a not so intelligent and well dressed light, But then again it was a holiday photo and she was having fun.

    Lovin' it...:D

    I'd say on a bulletin board where posts contain almost exclusively typescript, people's opinions are usually formed based on posts they've read by a particular user.

    Now the ageold question, will the OP argue on despite being beaten? or concede defeat?

    Before becoming a registered boards user I had not realised that it was indeed impossible to be both intelligent AND attractive.

    It would seem that should any of our female posters post a photo of themselves on boards, and then be fortunate to receive a compliment on their appearance from a fellow boardsie, that inevitably, their IQ will drop in the estimation of their peers.

    "What the fcuk is he talking about?" I hear you say. Well, allow me to give you some examples.

    Kiera, a regular here in after-hours, her opinions hold as much credibility as the next boardsie, that is, of course, until it transpires that she is somewhat attractive, this revelation results in her opinions being dismissed and rubbished by her peers, and with an undeniable branding of stupidity.

    Silly Sausage, another regular here on boards, known for the creation of lively, debate filled threads such as 'No Forward Planning EVER!”
    We know that SS has graduated with a degree, we know that she is a fairly educated young woman.
    Again, her opinions held a level of credibility, her posts brimming with witty, INTELLIGENT, observations; we boardsies respected her.
    But Silly Sausage made the mistake of posting some pictures of herself on Boards, and again, once it transpired that she was indeed quite pretty, we boardsters questioned her intellect, and she has since become the object of some totally unnecessary remarks.


    Kiera and Sillysausage are not the only boardsies to become victims of this downfall, I have noticed many of our female users have been burned at the hands of some of our pass remarkable posters.

    But I focused on them in particular as a result of this comment:



    From this thread:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=51134108#post51134108

    And I had to ask, what gives koneko, or anyone for that matter, the right to question the intelligence of anyone else?
    What is he basing his opinions on?

    Do you know the girls personally?
    What is your motive for such a comment?
    The fact that they, like many others, posted their picture on boards?
    Is this enough of a reason to brand someone 'stupid'?

    I don't think so, and I would be interested to know what the rest of you have to say on the matter.

    actually, i think you will find that most people get the respect they deserve and earn.

    if people dont respect what kiera and sillysausage say, then i think the old motto 'if it looks like shít, smells like shít and tastes like shít, thens its probably shít', comes into play.

    you know what i mean?

    as for your questioning of keneko or anyuone else, well is that not a bit ironic?
    who are you to question the opinion of someone else on that basis.
    come on, at least put forward a justifiable arguement instead of some diatribe aimed soley at trying to gain brownie points. i mean, is this just some sort of subtle flirt for you, becuase i see no other reason for the post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    by the way, you can be attractive and intelligent.
    you can also be fat and ugly and a stupid person.

    but luckily for the human race, when you add beer, all bets are off...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,363 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    This is the internet, to be honest I think looks are less of a factor on here than in real life. All you can judge someone on is their text and choice of username and possibly a grainy photo. Kiera and SillySausage get grief, not because they've posted photos of themselves but because their posts are, for the most part, attention seeking spam.

    And of course you can be intelligent and good looking - MAJD and simu are two of the first women to come to mind when it comes to boards. I get the feeling that Koneko is attractive but I've never met her nor seen a pic, I'm just going off what I've seen her post here.

    I think peoples opinions and slattings on certain individuals is based on the crap that they post..

    yes most of us go through a moment of madness where we might post absolute crap, however some tend to do it on an ongoing basis.

    IMO peoples remarks on these individuals has nothing to do with how the people look, its just how they carry on and represent themselves.
