Not beautiful anyway. I'll take the smarts

So... the genie offers to make me look better by increasing my looks to only slightly below average? Noice!

There are other variables the genie leaves wildcard.

Suppose I'm already very intelligent and attractive (and modest), except I'm also a wimp, myopic, have weird metabolism, autistic and with bipolar.

I can work on my intelligence but I can't work on my genetics. So, if take physical attractiveness.

The genie does not honor your second wish.
