Would you rather be exceedingly wealthy, exceedingly attractive, or exceedingly intelligent?

I would be wealthy. Easy choice for me. Lack of intelligence or attractiveness wouldn't stress me out, but living paycheck to paycheck would to the nth degree.

Fortunately, I don't have to make this decision because I am very wealthy, reasonably intelligent, and very good looking. So living most of my adulthood with all three of those, I'd go by which has given me the most personal satisfaction, which is intelligence.

wealthy, assuming that you would be "normal" in the other two categories.

These are silly. Really really silly.

That being said, I'd choose to be attractive. I may not get money but I'm sure I could find a wealthy woman who likes to splurge.

I'd pick intelligence with average looks and average wealth. There's nothing more satisfying than being fully absorbed in one's own thoughts and endeavoring to solve complicated problems.

A lot of people seem to not be reading the prompt. You choose one and the other two are well below average.

I'd choose wealth.

Wealthy.

Looks don't matter when you have money. Things are more fun when you're dumb.

This is a tough one. You're saying I could have the IQ of Einstein and yet be living paycheck to paycheck? Not sure how that could be possible because the very definition of intelligence is the ability to reason and understand many things, so couldn't that be applied to understanding how to gain money even if you are currently poor, or to make yourself look better?

Would not choose attractiveness, because I'd then have the IQ of a mental midget (ie Rupp or Justin Bieber)

Would not choose wealthiness because even if I was wealthy I'd still look like...I don't know, Gordon Ramsay or someone.

So I'd have to go with intelligence.

Okay. I'd choose ugly and dirt poor, but highly intelligent assuming I had access to good schools and opportunities.

Exceedingly attractive.

Odds are that I'll marry a rich lady if I'm that attractive.

This whole thing comes down to

A) Are you interested in things?

B) Are you interested in women?

C) Are you interested in prestige/legacy?

If you have high intelligence you can always get by with a lack of one or both of the others. Wealth and good looks cant compensate adequately for being stupid.

Intelligence

If we buy into the stupid hypothetical that attractive and intelligent people can't get rich, the answer is obviously weatlth.

Wealth is everything. With enough money, you can get anything attractiveness gives you and more. Being dumb as a rock sucks only from the perspective of being reasonable smart. I'd embrace stupidity and live the hedonistic dream I deserve.

I am willing to bet Rupp is smarter than you are. And Bieber.

I think it is glaringly obvious that you already have. Too bad you're ugly and poor too?

(and to prove that you're already very stupid, you wrote this statement: "With enough money, you can get anything attractiveness gives you and more." Obviously completely incorrect. Super models literally melting at your feet is different than high priced call girls blowing you because you pay them $5000. Really, it's different. )

Depends on how low the other two are, but I'd choose exceedingly intelligent.

If you're thin enough, you can work with looks to do okay,and intelligent people should be able to find a decent wage.

Please do not use the term "literally" figuratively. Especially not when you are making fun of someone for being stupid.

I would choose wealth

being attractive as a male without intelligence or money is not particularly valuable. I don't think you would be able to attract women as easily as people think even if you are good looking. Have you heard of good looking bus boys or gardeners getting p*ssy? I don't think so. You can be poor and have mad game, but it's unlikely you would have much game with an IQ of 80.

handsome + suave = hippie p*ssy

handsome + rich = trophy wife type p*ssy

ugly + rich + suave = gold digger pu*ssy

dumb + poor + hot = maybe drug girl at a club p*ssy if it's your lucky night.

With intelligence alone and the inability to use it to build wealth, you would be keenly aware of your unfortunate situation, and you wouldn't be able to attract women. Do you really think you would be that satisfied playing chess and mentally masturbating about theoretical physics while living in your mother's basement and jerking off? Those guys are a dime a dozen, and they usually aren't particularly happy

As a dumb rich ugly guy, I could buy trivial things to make me happy, and women would f*ck me to exploit me for money...which would be no problem because because the opening poster says I have an endless supply. Remember, this thread presupposes that I am not so dumb that I blow my money. Besides, I probably wouldn't even realize how dumb I truly am. I would probably be so dumb that I would think I'm smart, rich, and hot.

Only being intelligent would probably be the most depressing of the three, but it's also the one I would choose, because I wouldn't be willing to give up my intellect. As long as my low paying job were sufficiently interesting and enjoyable.

Money buys happiness
