Amazing article! My sister and I have the whole pretty sister/smart sister thing going on, even though neither of us are dumb or ugly. People were amazed in high school by my ability to down a bottle of rum on the weekend yet show up sweet as pie to school on Monday. It puzzles me as to why the world can’t accept that smart genes and pretty genes can exist in one person, that an intelligent girl can’t let loose on the weekends

4. Boys don’t like smart girls. -

Thats just not true. Smart boys like smart girls.

Brains turn me on.

You know, this is like my life put into paper. It is maybe not with my sister, but with my classmates…

I’ve always been the smart one, the one who gets great grades. But I’ve also always been the rejected, the ugly one. And in the past, this got to me like… I don’t even have words to describe how awful it was. I came crying every afternoon because of the teasing. So, what did I do? I kept studyin and all and getting even better grades. And my classmates were more and more jealous and mocked at me like they hadn’t do so before. And it was a cycle.

Nowadays, I’m still not happy about how I’m trated by my classmates, but hey, I’ve learned I can be smart and good-looking and that gives me an advantage over all of them.

Next year, I’m off to university, to a fresh beginning. I hope things get better. Plus, I’ll be studying Engineering. I bet there are not going to be many brain-less girls there.

Hey there!

I just want to say a few things (because I consider myself to be smart enough too :D)
1. Smart girls are actually pretty as hell when they are being smart - not geeky - but when they actually apply their knowledge to rebut an argument for example - that’s what makes smart girls pretty.

3.Hope you can flip over to my side at some point this week, when I want to rant about hard work. But I agree with you - that nobody really appreciates the effort which goes in to reach a level of “smartness” (can I say that without sounding like a egotistic snob?)

4. All I can say is that your guy hit bulls eye! As I said on point 1, nothing more hotter that a gal who can stand up and kick ass geek style!

It’s funny how some people do still seem to believe beauty and brains can’t exist in the one person - as if possessing one negates possessing the other.

I find however I fall foul of an even worse stereotype - that people assume I’m dumb because I’m blonde. But then it’s fun to surprise people . . .

This post is calling my name! I have the issue that because I’m remotely good looking, people assume that I’m stupid. I’m not a brain child, but I have a brain and I work my tail off, but people assume that I got to where I am today because of looks. I love telling them that I got hired over the phone. My boss never saw my face until about a month after I had been working!

As for the boys thing…I think they get intimidated by a brain, no matter what you look like!

Sounds exactly like me and my younger sister. Despite the fact i have plenty of friends now, she’ll always be the popular one. and yes i was the smart one. but then im dating a younger man, and shes married a cosmetic surgeon, who is the smart one now?

My view on point #4…. If I can’t have an intelligent conversation with someone I am immediate bored with them. I don’t care what you they look like, if the space between your ears is empty I’m not interested.
