You can be smart as shit, and hot AF, easy peasy. Just have severe childhood trauma. Like my parents used to have nuclear screaming matches once a week so I learned to study to disassociate, add a touch of an undiagnosed eating disorder, and BOOM. Suddenly I got folks asking me if their abs feel well defined lmao. (P.s. I have no relationship skills whatsoever after all the screaming and disassociating.)
I can almost guarantee you that she does not care about her hotness. She works at her intelligence. That’s probably what she would want to be recognized for. The focus on her hotness is objectifying. Grow up and know that women are whole people who would much rather you respect them for their accomplishments and personhood.
It’s also okay to want both bro. Like also as a woman I care more about my intelligence because it requires more effort than good genes (not to say looking hot is at all effortless) but I like the way I look too. It makes me happy. And I think that’s okay. We’re allowed to have joy <3
