It was the end of fifth working day or can say it’s a weekend kick off. I wanted to relax the whole eve, and I was left only with tata-sky. As I was running through the channels, Aamir Khan stopped me. He was in dilemma while deciding between beautiful or the intelligent bride. The audiences were with beautiful gals but Aamir was still not convinced.
Yes, Aamir was the guest at the Sony’s 10 Ka Dum with host Salman. And the question to him was “What % of men likes to marry a beautiful lady over an intelligent lady?” Aamir finally closed his guess in the array of 40-60 %. But to win, his guess should couple with the Indian’s survey result on this question.
I started thinking at the question, but ceased my mouth as Gunda was around. Any of my guess would have got me a piercing gaze ;). I being diplomatic said my decision will be based on love; I wouldn’t marry a girl just cause she very beautiful or intelligent. She gave me a puzzled look and went into kitchen.
Assume that you are an eligible bachelor who is about to get married. For your bride whom will you choose; a smart intelligent girl or a dull beautiful girl? Have you ever thought about it? Will you go with a beautiful lady, thinking you can train her to make her smart? Or an intelligent lady thinking you can groom her to look beautiful. If you are lured by beauty, then how about the character?
Back to the game of %. Aamir was playing for a noble cause, and correct answer to this question will get him 10 lakhs for Saraswati Vidya Mandir. Indian men thought in his favor, only 42% of men said they prefer beauty over intelligence. Well done Aamir…
I started googling on this and was amazed to find that there are more beautiful women then there are handsome men. According to the study “good-looking parents are 36% more likely to have a baby daughter as their first child than a baby son”. Don’t looking further I came to know that getting a beautiful girl is not that hard :). Further digging led me to the cloud nine. A research paper said “beautiful people are more intelligent”. The evidence was short and sweet… intelligent men are more likely to attain higher status; higher status men are more likely to mate with more beautiful women; intelligence is heritable as is beauty.
So it follows that its not difficult to get smart beautiful girls… good luck guys… find the right bride for yourself in this beautiful world.

Hi Vatsa,
frankly speaking, I choose to be her friend as she was beautiful, then started liking her by her smartness. Loved her for her nature and then married her as she was the only right match for me [:)]
