if you could be beautiful or strong, but not both...

If you could either be visually very attractive or have monstrous physical strength, which would you pick?

Being a man, physical strength

Your poll might as well ask, are you a man or a woman ?

Beauty. Strength interest me but not 'monstrous' strength. Don't see how it would be an asset.

 

Not necessarily.

I would go with 'monstrous physical strength'.

It's actually useful. I'm hugely vain about my looks, but still: rather something useful for my survival than something that would make me noticeable and therefore a victim.

 

I'm already happy with how I look anyway, though I am a fairly run of the mill creature.

 

Strength. Because it's what matters. No one is going to respect you just because you have a beautiful face.

 

Beauty...I am strong enough for a female already.

 

How is monstrous strength necessary to survival in modern society? And even in a developing society where much labor is done by hand women don't need monstrous strength (I'm assuming the poll is geared towards women). I don't think beauty makes women victims, unattractive women are raped and harassed as much as beautiful women. Being noticeable has been an asset in my life not a hinderance.

 

No one is going to respect you because you win an iron man contest.

 

Only the good die young

 

No, but they'll back off in a barfight.

 

I know unattractive women are raped too. Hell, women in miniskirts and some cord around their boobs seem to get left alone, whereas I get harassed by every moron in the area even though I'm wearing loose fit combat pants.

But I would feel better going out into the world knowing I could defend myself, than knowing I had an attractive face.

 

See how quickly this breaks down into what a male or female consider an asset?
Why would a woman be in a bar fight? I mean real women not the ones who appear on Jerry Springer.

If you are a babe you would just get some really strong guy to do that for you.

 

Do you find the world so hostile that protection is more important than attraction? I don't feel the need to protect myself physically. When I work out at the gym with weights its purely for aesthetic reasons, physical strength is a plus but its not needed except to carry my suitcase up a flight of stairs.

I find the idea of having to be physically aggressive repellent. I would rather carry a firearm if that's the case but I don't feel the need to do that either.

 

Women get into fights same as guys, though for different reasons.

I almost started one earlier last month, because this guy was constantly harassing me, and wouldn't go away.

I am not a babe. I'm long and thin, if you want to know. Not babylike.

Say 'female' or 'woman'.

And I don't want to depend on having a guy around, thanks. I'm a person in my own right, not one half of a duality lacking the other.

 

for Women, It'll prevent Bad boyfriends, And you'll no longer need a "strong man"..

 

Yes.

 

Wow. Ok then.

Girl where do you live that is so menacing?

I really need to get back out of the States :shrug:

Why do americans always behave as if they live in Mogadishu? I'm assuming you live in the States I know me bad
