This just isn't difficult enough of a choice. Any woman who stays with the Flagpole for any length of time MUST be super intelligent. Playboy bunnies don't fit that bill. Not dying for a 28 minute 10k either, but of the two I'd pick that.
Hell, I'd pick a Wii over a Playboy bunny. Actually I think I'd pick a painful boil on my ass over a Playboy bunny as my wife.

Well, a 28 min 10K is never going to take half your money.
Show me the hottest chick in the world and I'll show you some guy tired of banging her. Marrying her could literally become a living hell. Most playmates are probably shallow materialistic dingbats and you have to be a fool to think spending a lot of time with that will make you happy.
Not to mention she'd probably bone half your friends, and maybe even your brother.
Hmmmmm... I would ask your Dad for advice on this. Not your Mom
28:00 10K for sure
(P.S. I'm a gay male.)
I would much rather bone Hugh Hefner, and I´m a man.
Wouldn´t it be something to lie on top of him and tell him to "bite the pillow if it hurts"?
I'll go with 10K.

far more would respect me for doing a bunny than for running a 28 min 10k.
No, you would get respect for banging a bunny. People would laugh and talk about you behind your back for marrying one.
I would take the 28 minute 10k, which would in turn get me into the Olympic Trials. For the rest of my life I would be known as a 28 min 10k guy who ran in the Olympic Trials; while my Playboy quality wife would within 10 years turn into a dump truck like most American women; and would not be distinguishable from any other mom or housewife.

Take it from the Wad-man...that's me.
I married a girl who wasn't a playboy bunny, but she was a Penthouse girl (not a Pet, but a "regular"). She's hot, even at 35 now. Yes, she's had enhancements....but I'm ok with that.
She's a great mom, very involved, highly educated (masters in education), and a great money saver.
Sexually, she understands how to make a man melt. And she does that regularly, especially if she wants to buy something. And that's ok with me.
There has been no PNS at all - after 10 years! I have no complaints....hell, she's even forgiven me for some past daliances....again, not an issue for her.
Anyways, yes, some guys talk about us behind our backs, but usually they end up having to explain to there wives why they know that my wife was in Penthouse. LOL.
Once we take into account the whole post-nuptial shutoff thing ... I think this issue becomes a lot easier.
And she does that regularly, especially if she wants to buy something.
There you go!!! Both are VERY HIGH maintenance!!
You will either be spending your extra time working a second job to maintain her lifestyle or you will be spending your extra time running to maintaine your 28 min 10k fitness. Your choice!!

Now you know how the rest of us feel when we have to read your posts.
Wad - in a sense I am not surprised. A Penthouse woman would likely have some facility to handle men with aplomb, and is less likely to be insecure. Insecure women make a happy relationship almost impossible. Nevertheless, I am envious - not for the looks (although that is nice), but for the character and values you describe.
But I really, really think men should never get married until they are at least 30. Most are not mature enough themselves, and are not experienced enough to discern the right kind of woman to marry - meaning one that is not dominated by insecurities, has a sense of self, and views the relationship as a partnership rather than just a wallet.
One might cast me as cynical and negative, but the truth is that a lot of us runners on this board are typically pretty ambitious and focused guys and notwithstanding our skinniness in the Darwinian game many of us attractive marriage partners. The pressure that gets applied to us kinds of guys (along with their general nature to be nice to be the person they are seeing which makes them not look out for their interests) leads to all sorts of misery down the road.
My advice to guys - wait until you are 35. If you want to have children, take care of yourself physically and find a caring, nice 25 year old. The only downside is that it is easier to keep up with kids (and a lot of fun) when you are younger, but in the end being stuck in a marriage entered without a good and mature sense of self is just trouble.
I hesitated to post this because of a fear of being accused as sexist. But nothing could be further from the truth - I have two daughters of college age and clearly am in their corner in every possible way. Men ought to have life strategies to marry a younger woman at age thirty five after having obtained a good start in life, and frankly, women, who are limited by a biological clock in ways men are not, need to start thinking about marriage much earlier.
lessee....
me: "my pr for 10k is 28 minutes"
them:
me: "my wife's a playboy bunny"
them: "high five!"
I'll take the bunny
i'd love to see the age and sexual experience of each person posting in this thread... until then, i'll just assume any serious runner picking the bunny for a wife is a teenage virgin...
I think it is safe to assume that posters on letsrun have not had sex (with a female) and have not dated girls period.

Now you're being disappointingly practical. Let's face some facts. If either of us ran a 28 minute 10K we'd die of a heart attack. If either of us got caught with a Playboy bunny (or reasonable facsimile) our wives would kill us.
HOWEVER, thinking about the Playboy bunny wife if definitely entertaining for longer than 28 minutes. You of all people should be going for the more bang for your buck scenario. (so to speak).
My game is pretty tight and I can say I\'d much rather be able to run a 28 minute 10k. It is easier to learn how to game a perfect 10 than to run a 28 minute 10k.
If I picked the Bunny, what's the fastest I'd be over 10K?
28 Minute 10k
