It was a simple question, given the choice, would you rather be better looking or would you rather be smarter? To be more specific, "Would you rather be 30% smarter, or 90% more attractive?"  Believe it or not, 53% of people chose attractiveness . . . 46% went with smarts!

Now on The Mike & Carla Morning Show, the results were a little different. All three, Mike, Carla and even Morty said they would rather be smarter. Which of course makes sense for M&C, Morty claimed he was already "good looking". So at this point in time, it would be better for him to be smarter.

When It Comes Down To It, Most People Would Rather Be Good Looking!

To be honest, given the choice, it was really close. 8000 people were surveyed and in the end, 53% of people said they'd rather be 90% more attractive.  While 46% would choose 30% smarter.

According to some of the listeners who texted or called in, they would rather be "smarter" as well. Most people thought if you were smarter, you would make more money, which as we all know makes you that much more attractive! At least that's the theory in Las Vegas. Is that always true?

Some listener thought that if you were 90% more attractive, you would need to be smarter! It seems the thought is that if you're good looking, things come a lot easier so you actually don't have to be that smart.

This all gets a little confusing right? It did for The M&C Morning Show! Maybe that's why they opted to be a little more smarter than better looking. Heck, being on radio, you don't have to be good looking, you just have to "sound" like you're good looking!

On the other hand, if all three were that good looking, maybe they would have all ended up on television! You know what, listen to the segment yourself and decide what would you choose...and enjoy!
