Hai friends,
Both the beauty and brain will be needed for sustain our life. A person who having a brain will not be a beautified one. Who having beauty will not have a brain so without beauty, we can live but without brain we can't live.

A point as a start:
1. Yes, beauty is in eye of beholder, but there us a universal widely accepted definition of it.
It's like risk. It's individual but is priced and quantified eg by insurance companies. Same with beauty. Yes it's personal, but definitely it too is quantified eg miss universe pagents. Look at the contestants. All of a similar type. So yes, that's quantification of beauty, same with magazine covers etc.
Now to answer the question:
No scientific link exists (and will likely never be). Therefore, conclusions can only be drawn from statistics and observations.
From my observations, it follows the normal distribution - about 10% have both beauty and brains (these are the truly lucky ones, akin to winning the lottery of life).
10% have neither beauty nor brains, 80% are in the middle somewhere where they have a bit of both (but not too much if either).

Beauty and the brain never go together.
There can no one in the cosmos beautiful as well as brainy simultaneously. This is a nature's play not to embellish one with the two virtues at one go lest both facets should lose their values.
Similar to the effect - wealth and happiness don't go together. The choice is left to one's wisdom. Worldly injustice is embarked upon " Most beautiful women in the world are foolish.
Thank You.

Hello, everyone!
As I think everything should be balanced. Means you should have both beauty and brain. However, those who have beauty shows off and gets everyone attraction. But the one who have a brain don't even think about all this. Or they get it another way.

According to my opinion, beauty and brain go together. But not always, beauty is necessary because not every talented and intellectual person has beauty, but they have beautiful hearts and mindset.
It is enough to prove that beauty is not always necessary. If any person has both beauty and brain they have gods gift. It also depends on the person even if they have both, they have to use it in a rightful manner.
Beauty isn't only about outer looks, the trendy dress's its the way of thinking & helping nature. So I conclude this by saying that both beauty and brain can be together but it isn't necessary.

In my opinion, beauty and intelligence cannot be measured objectively. Intelligence is multifaceted and cannot be fully captured through IQ tests alone.
Similarly, attractiveness is subjective and varies from person to person, encompassing both inner and outer beauty. The relationship between these traits varies widely among individuals. Every person possesses unique forms of beauty and intelligence. Therefore, beauty and brains are always intertwined, each individual embodying both in their distinct way.

He age-old debate about whether beauty and brains can coexist has sparked discussions for generations. Society often paints a picture where individuals are either intellectually gifted or physically attractive rarely both. However, this perception is not only outdated but also fundamentally flawed. Beauty and brains are not mutually exclusive traits; they can and do coexist harmoniously in many individuals.
The origin of the "beauty or brains" stereotype is rooted in media portrayals and cultural expectations. Films, television shows, and even fairy tales have historically portrayed beautiful characters as naive or superficial, while intelligent ones are often depicted as plain or socially awkward. This narrative has subtly influenced public perception, leading to a false dichotomy between physical attractiveness and intellectual capability.
In reality, countless individuals break this mould. From celebrities like Emma Watson, who is both an acclaimed actress and a Brown University graduate, to scientists like Lisa Kudrow, who holds a degree in biology and also gained fame through entertainment examples abound of people who possess both beauty and intellect. Moreover, beauty and intelligence are not fixed traits; they evolve and manifest in various forms, challenging narrow definitions of both.
It's also important to recognize that intelligence and beauty are not necessarily related, nor should one be used to measure the worth of a person. Beauty, often judged by societal standards, can be fleeting and subjective, while intelligence is diverse ranging from emotional and social intelligence to analytical and creative thinking. When combined, these qualities can empower individuals in personal, academic, and professional spheres.
Furthermore, assuming that beautiful people lack intelligence or that intelligent individuals can't be attractive can lead to harmful stereotypes and missed opportunities. Such assumptions can limit potential, lower self-esteem, and reinforce gender biases, especially against women who are often judged more harshly on appearance.
In conclusion, beauty and brains can go together. It’s time to move past outdated stereotypes and appreciate people for their full range of qualities. A person’s value lies not in whether they fit a binary, but in their individuality, talents, and character. As society becomes more inclusive and aware, the false divide between beauty and brains continues to fade and rightly.
