You meet a cute girl, but then you meet her cuter sister. What do you do?

Do we really need references to threesomes, porn, and transphobia? That's not really appropriate.

As far as the question, I'd suggest sticking with the older girl. From a purely practical perspective as many said switching to the prettier one is, and will be seen as, shallow. You said you had fun with her and were attracted to her. Don't see why that wouldn't be a good way to go.

I didn't expect that there.

Of course the most sane option is to play it safe and let it be. But we're trying to get entertained here so I its completely fine to explore other options, who likes to see a thread with 10 answers saying exactly the same? (except for those "I know nothing, should I start with C++?" threads).

For a second IMAGINE the implications of asking out the mother of a girl you know. She'd slice your head with a corroded knife probably, unless she hates her and she doesn't cares.

Its like "Heyy, remember that I seemed interested in you? Well... Hows your mother? Can you ask her something for me?" roflmao

Ever thought that the younger sister might just be trying to be polite? Maybe she's super happy that her sister might be getting a new boyfriend and doesn't want to scare you off?

Wake up in bed cold and alone....

I have no idea why I'm responding to this thread, but I just wanted to point out - choosing someone because they are smart is just as shallow and judgemental as choosing them because they are attractive.

Hmm I don't know. Seems to me building knowledge is something you need to work at, whereas being attractive is essentially luck - so there are certain aspects of the person's personality that you can glean from them being intelligent. Though I do agree that being compatible with someone is more important than them meeting some arbitrary criterion.

EDIT: apparantly 'criterium' is a bicycle race - who knew?

Or, you know, they just happen to be blessed with a 150 IQ, and soak up knowledge like a sponge.

Intelligence is everybit as accidental as looks. The more important question is what you do with either one...

I think the same (in D&D terms, intelligence != widsom :P). At the end of the day you're just choosing someone by some particular genetic traits. Which is as shallow as it gets.

yep.

sometimes one is someone who everyone seems to think is super-intelligent, but in actuality is pretty much average.

eventually, being called smart can be annoying, more so when one is like 110 and thus only "above average".

like it is a world of:

people IRL, often think I am smart (if they say much, *1);

people on internet, "meh" (for the most part), or getting hated on (sometimes).

and for college classes... yeah... was kind of a dismal experience IMO (not good at classes, *2).

maybe or maybe not having a job is worse, can't seem to get hired anywhere though, HR people are just like "yeah... no."

no real luck with females either, I suspect it is sort of the same thing as with HR people.

most often a sort of "not even going to acknowledge that you exist".

*1: or, sometimes (generally back in high-school) people will just throw stuff and yell insults (like "f***ing nerd" and similar...).

*2: contrary to stereotypes, I am pretty much incompetent with things like math much beyond algebra, which basically killed attempts at going for a CS major (they invariably require Calculus), and I don't really want to beat against this particular wall anymore.

so, one may be like "well, at least I can write code", since otherwise, there is pretty much nothing else going for them.

but, yeah, no real advice to offer for the original topic, no sufficiently similar past experiences to extrapolate from...
