Not beautiful anyway. I'll take the smarts

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Smart because if I ever started getting into making videos for my fictional P²EMG company, would needs the smarts to make a v-Tuber model of my fursona work, alongside some other tools I won't disclose.

The latter. I guess that's kinda what I have already and I have no complaints. I'm aro/ace anyway so I don't really need the stunning looks for dating purposes. My relatively decent ability to learn new things never ceases to entertain me

Smart with a top 1% cock.

The genie does not honor your second wish.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Then smart would be my preference.

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