As superficial as some attributes may be, you don't ultimately decide who you're physically attracted to.

I think "superficial" is an arbitrary distinction anyway. Who is to say that intelligence is a more worthy attribute than physical attractiveness?

Ugly people who think they're smarter than everybody else. :)
