A genie appears before you and says you must choose to be very physically attractive, but slightly below average intelligence, or very intelligent, but slightly below average attractiveness? Which would you choose, and why?

What is the definition of ‘beautiful’, here? Do I get to decide, or is it up to the genie’s interpretation?
It will be what the majority of society considers beautiful. So you know, like young Brad Pitt, or young Angelina Jolie, or Jason Momoa, or Gal Gadot, or whomever you consider to be attractive. But! You wouldn’t be Brad Pitt because it says slightly above average attractiveness. So you would be the guy that everyone asks if you’ve ever been told that you kind of look like Brad Pitt.
That’s not a very specific definition, innit? I looked these folks up, and didn’t exactly spot any obvious similarities among them, though maybe that’s just me. I mean, are people gonna see me and be maybe slightly reminded of Jason Momoa but in a dollar store knockoff version, or am I gonna maybe sorta make people unconsciouly be thinking “hmmm… they remind me of someone. I just can’t pinpoint who exactly”, unaware that they’re in fact thinking of Gal Gadot? Cause those are different paths. I mean, what does that even imply? Slightly bigger, a wee bit more muscular, 5 ³⁄₇ pack? Or do I thin out ever so slightly, with a milimiter larger butt or something? So many ways one could change, appearance-wise
I’m sure the genie will be happy to explain all the intricacies… Maybe when you are approached you can just ask him for a picture or a list of options.
