美貌与智慧

今天在午饭后吹水的时候,讨论了一些话题。其中最争议性的是女性的美貌与智慧。

到底女性的美貌与智慧是正比的(proportional)还是对比的(inversely propotional)?

由于我读的是工程系,男生会比较多,所以一直以来和我吹水较多的会是一群男生。而这群男生围绕着的话题里,除了“多打”(dota)吃喝玩乐以外,就是女生。习惯性的,要求高的他们都会经常踩(俗话,意思相等于贬低)样貌或身材不太好的女生。而今天他们就把成绩好的女生和难看画上等号。

友人甲听说有人交了一分十多页的interim report(算蛮多的了)后就一口咬定她是难看的。友人甲不曾看过她,就凭着友人甲的信念--成绩好的女生一定是难看的,就说她一定是难看的。

很快,听久他们经常踩女生的我听不下去,就单刀匹马,一对三地和三个大男人争论了起来。

成绩好的女生就不可以有美的吗?美丽的女生就一定是成绩差的吗?难道参加选美的小姐们都不可以有成绩是一流的吗?

最搞笑的是,友人甲给了一个列子。他的中学里年年考第一的是个美女,但因结识男友之后乎列了成绩,只能考获第三第四名。第三第四名不算聪明吗?难到他的学校就只有五六名学生吗?

争论维持了长逾半个小时,不论友人如何为自己的论点解释和辩护,就是无法接受他们所谓的论点--成绩好的女生一定是难看的。

只能接受成绩较差的学生多半比较会打扮,只是较会打扮也还不代表一定会打扮得好看。而打扮得好看又不一定就是美。而且,成绩较差的学生多半比较会打扮这个唯一能够达到的共识也不只是女生,男生也一样。

所以,男生们请尊重自己也尊重他人,在给与这类的意见时,请不要性别歧视。

外貌和智慧是不能够形成什么方程式的。叫你眼光狭窄的朋友们把眼睛睁大一点,他们难道看透了所有漂亮的女生?还是他们已经认识了所有聪明的女生?sample size 太小是不能被代表整个population的。有没有读过statistic啊!

美不美难道对他们来说,是那么的重要吗?难道人只能够把美丽或英俊的人当结婚对象?那张相比较普通的人,难道就一定无人问津?

男生们,女生不狠毒地讨论你们的外貌,不是因为女生觉得你帅,而是我们了解美貌不是衡量一个人的一切。

积多一点福,留一点口德。在批评别人外表之前,请照照镜子。

后记,外表不是一切。请大家改变这个肤浅的想法。若你还是觉得很重要,若你还是觉得“聪明的女人=很难看的女人”的道理是对的,我愿你娶个超级绝顶美女为妻。

From statistical point of view, we can define two random viriable 美貌 and 智慧. Using the concept of correlation and regression, there must be a correlation relationship between 2 variable.
Correlation relationship can vary from -1 to +1.

Correlation coefficient of +1 means a perfect proportional relationship between that 2 random variables.

Correlation coefficient of -1 means a perfect inverse proportional relationship between that 2 random variables.

and of coz, 0 means there is no a "defined" relationship between that 2 random variables.

Therefre, accodring to statistic theory, there is a relationship between 美貌 and 智慧 de, but juz depends on what is the relationship.

And for the concept of sampling and population, a population is always represented by a distribution (normal, Khi-square, t-, etc).
For a sample number, n, larger than a certain value, (normally >30), a sampling parameters (such as mean, variance etc) can be relate to a population parameters via certain equation.

Therefore, 友人甲 should find at least 30 samples before you draw your conclusion. And of cos, it's much better if you can include a "confident level" for your statement.




By the way, 吹水 only, aimed for relaxation, dun take it too serious. Not really 批评 anyone.
If 吹水 also need to take care of every single word, then 吹水 for wat wor, so stress~~~

Heard abt this topid few days ago but only came visit here today. Hoho...

First thing first, don take blow water topic too seriously. But I do admit that sometime guys mouth juz too smelly (oops, I am stereotyping...mayb i shd say not all guys mouth smelly, juz ur "you ren jia" mouth smelly). They juz like to say many bad things behind a girl and sometime it will make their female fren feel 反感 about their 口德....but it is mainly juz for ppl to listen and laugh and forget abt it.

Anyway, the ethical issue come in, mayb we shd not joke on another innocent human being juz because they are not handsome/pretty right?

As conclusion, I think ur "you ren jia" speak din use hs brain. He din really mean to heard or insult anyone. If you (or anyone reading the post)somehow feel not comfortable abt his 狂言...hope you guys can forgive his brainless speach (this remind me of some msia 部长 also always apology for thier 站蹲轮 or racist theory)

cheers
you ren jia
