Simple poll, what would you rather?

Being the ideal Sex Symbol for everyone and anyone. It doesn't matter who. It doesn't matter your age or well being. Regardless of any and all circumstances. Anyone who sees your picture, meets you in person or simply hears about your, in any circuitous fashion, wants to gently caress your brains out.

Or.

People can only see you for your mind. Whether it's to their own benefit or yours. Your brain power and thinking ability is all they are interested in. Whatever their motivation, it is purely because of your academic ability.

One extreme or the other.

Which would you prefer? Why?

This premise is a false dichotomy: by the way you've phrased it, number one is closer to mass mind-control (in that anyone and everyone would want to have hardcore sex up on you) whereas the second is merely being a person with a reputation for making wise or intelligent decisions, who is either of middling attractiveness or is otherwise off-limits to the dating world.

Being a Mind Symbol means that everyone's trying to use you for their personal benefit and, with no one entirely interested in you for your looks you'd ultimately use the rewards of your mental advantages to get sex (which could potentially lead into skeezy territory), however:
Being a de facto Sex Symbol for everyone and anyone that will ever see you, meet you, or even hear about you even in a roundabout fashion sounds like a great way to get stalked by a bunch of gross psychos. Ugh. :sparkles:
