Endless Curiosity

Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius, or famous for doing something great? Why?


I agree with Azul for the most part. Attractiveness and fame are fleeting. Even with technology, our brains can serve you well though. I'd pick that. Likewise, in choosing a partner, I'd pick brains over the other two attributes.

I would definitely pick famous for doing something great, especially if that great thing came with Nobel Prize money :D

I mean, being attractive is fine, but a lot of stereotyping and negativity often goes along with that. And stalkers *shiver* And yes, I have been over indulging in the ID channel lately :p Being genius is also great, but it many times comes with its own demons. Being known for something Nobel worthy is going to spare you most of the fame seekers (who stalks a Nobel prize winner, after all?) but still afford you the satisfaction of having helped humanity. Even without the prize I would probably choose this over the other two. A sense of helping others gives me great personal satisfaction.

Well, if I'm a genius, wouldn't I be able to become famous for doing something great?
So I'll take Genius. Which frankly, I would take anyway, if you say, "nope, you're a genius, but no one recognizes it."

Famous for doing something great. Actually, you can leave out the famous part and just let me achieve something unique that rates a footnote in some dry and dusty tomb. :cool:

i'm attractive enough, smart enough, and famous is just...meh. Think of all the "people" interaction the latter would require! :eek:

My inner introvert shudders.

*shudder*

*drapes a blankey over your inner introvert*
There there :D
 
I'm perfectly content with being "cute" and I am too much of a wall flower to seek any kind of fame.

I would choose genius. I'd endeavor to use all of the extra brain power for the benefit of humanity. If credit must be given, I'd prefer to be named in history books long after I'm gone.
 
If a friend was setting you up on a blind date, how would he/she describe you? How would you describe yourself?

Friend: Fun-lovin, free-spirited (not sure that's a compliment, haha), guaranteed good time (doesn't mean I put out, it means I will give anyone a good time no matter what we do!)

Me: Kind, nerdy, shy at first
 
I could list certain traits that I find attractive, both physical and character. I know we all could. I'm more curious about the way your mind combines them. When lost in fantasy, awake or dreaming, what does THAT man or woman look like? How does your subconscious define the perfect partner? Can you see him? Do looks even matter or is it more about what he/she is doing ... or saying?

Tell me about the man or woman of your dreams ...
 
Hmmmm... this is a tough one for me. I don't have a look or a type that I go for, so if fantasizing my head just sort of supplies whatever I need at the moment. Younger, older, male, female ;) whatever. I do the same when I dream, and call them "dream people". They might be a family member in my dream, but later on I can't even remember what they looked like. Looks just aren't that big a deal for me, it's not something I give high value to and I guess my fantasies reflect that.

Her look can vary. Her dominant attitude rarely does.

Most often, my fantasies focus on an actual woman in my life. Frequently my SO, although certainly not exclusively. Nearly every story I've written and published (or not), has had a very specific female as the main character. In virtually every case, I can still tell you exactly who I was writing about.

My personal fantasies, during um...well...you know...:eek:, are very similar. There is a specific woman. Sometimes my SO, sometimes not. Yes, Ladies of Lit are frequent subjects. :eek: :D :devil:
 
For me, looks aren't a big deal. When I fantasize, the man or woman is generally taller than me, but at 5'3" that's not hard to accomplish. Men are typically older, women younger. If I'm sleep dreaming, I don't really see their face or don't remember it when I wake up. *shrugs*

They always fall into one of two categories for me, either completely dominant or totally submissive. My mood dictates which, but it's one or the other. It's their behavior in that role that is a turn on for me. :eek:

I can't get off thinking about strangers or imaginary people or casual acquaintances. There must exist a high level of mental chemistry and emotional intimacy with a person for them to make an appearance in my daydreams or fantasies. Consequently, the cast of characters is small and consistent over time.

Eta: Oh yeah, we have to share some filthy, nasty kinks as well. :cool:

I'm sort of the same way. I mean, imaginary people work for me, but the chemistry and intimacy is imagined as well. Fantasies of strangers or chance encounters don't work for me.

I'm not sure if that makes sense. :eek:
