What does smart look like?

[schadenfreude]

There are many beautiful faces already posted in this forum, but I am curious to what most people would consider as  intelligent-looking face.

 

I will start:

 

 

Do you agree?

It doesn't look like anything. The alternative title for this thread is "let's perpetuate stereotypes!"

Who are they?

It doesn't look like anything. The alternative title for this thread is "let's perpetuate stereotypes!"

Interesting points to consider:

- what are these stereotypes?

- why do these stereotypes exist?

- how can a thread in a random obscure internet forum perpetuate stereotypes that already exist anymore than any other thread in any other random obscure internet forum or a random party convo?

- why would a forum dedicated to perpetuating stereotypes of beauty be concerned about perpetuating other stereotypes?

You and I have pretty different understandings of "interesting," too, it seems. 

[schadenfreude]

Yea, not everyone finds sociology interesting.

Hi people ........ I'm here to perpetuate the stereotypes

 

 

Very smart and very sexy :wub2:

I'm a historian. I find sociology incredibly useful. If that's what you think you're doing here, go nuts I guess. I look forward to the incisive critical analysis in this thread.

You gotta be patient though, I don't expect any conclusive analysis to be drawn soon. I have yet to establish any parameters that would narrow the focus of my research,

That's not necessary.

Thanks for helping me waste my time reading that crap ......... that guy I posted is smart certified. I'm not a teenager any more. First I'll check the "smartness" certification ....... then if I like the face :wub2: I'll classify the face as a smart's guy face.

Smart people have the biggest heads, didn't you know?  Just check their hat size and you'll be done with it.

To a certain extent, that's true.

That defeats the purpose then. 

Brings up interesting point:

-what if the smartness is not the sort that's certifiable?

[EngSciNaGirl]

well .... if you are smart in a manner that can't be measured then you are proly smart ass and not really smart

[schadenfreude]

well .... if you are smart in a manner that can't be measured then you are proly smart ass and not really smart

How do you measure things like body smart, social skills or artistic creativity?

[EngSciNaGirl]

Same way you measure length or mass ......... by comparing with a standard?

 

The only difference is the standards are not defined in a strict manner by a metrology science that sets nomenclature, base units, relations between base and derived units, protocols on how to do dimensional analysis and so on so forth. Measuring without a science might take years of studying in a specific area of experty. Then again life is not supposed to be easy...... and if I don't have that experty I won't bother measuring at all or I'm going to be unfair with some guys.

If only history provided us with reasons why establishing such standards, measuring these things, and attributing them (or not) to physical attributes might be bad.
