Beauty or Brains?

I must say that being complimented on intellect is somehow better than being complimented on looks.

Or . . . maybe it's just me.

Okay, I'm not saying that being told you look nice isn't flattering. I'm just saying that it's nice to be noticed for things beneath the surface.

it is....but the other day someone paid me a compliment and i'm such a pessimist that it bothered me. they said "you have your own unique beauty"...is that like telling every kid they are special? like it's a generic compliment? aaargh.

i hope i can have the double compliment where i can be cute AND smart. such a thing has to exist!

Yeah, I see what you mean . . . there is something annoyingly enigmatic about "you have your own unique beauty." Oh, and I definitely agree w/you on the perfection of the double compliment.
