That’s the dilemma I put to you today. Which would you rather be: rich or sexy?
Now you can’t be a little bit of both. We’re getting ruthless with this one. If you are rich, you’re absolutely loaded, rolling in it – but you look like the back of a bus. Ugly as sin. You are socially inept – a veritable repellent to the opposite sex. And you smell.
“But if I had all that money surely I could have access to all the best beauty treatments and plastic surgery. To say nothing of deodorant” you might pipe up. Nah, sorry. Everything you do to improve yourself will go horribly wrong. If you have the surgery you will end up looking even worse. Makeup will make you look like a clown.
Now if you’re sexy… well there’s never been anyone sexier than you. Men drop at your feet, begging for a chance to be with you. Any man you want – a movie star, the lead singer in your fave band, the guy down the road who you’ve fancied insanely for years – they’re all yours.
But you’re oh so broke. You get fired from every job you wiggle your way into – you’re much too sexy. You win the Euromillions, but lose the ticket before you can cash it in. Even when you’re given presents something goes wrong. You crash the new sports car your latest rock star gave you.
So go on. Which would you rather be?

Ha, Ha.
This reminds me of the dilemas I used to put to my Dad when I was younger, and he just HAD to pick one.
I would summarise it by saying ‘lonely (and smelly!) with lots of dosh’ ‘lots of friends/lovers and broke’ I’d have to go for the sexy..
I’d have to go for the sexy too… Sure they’re always saying money can’t buy happiness!
id go for sexy..cos you’d prob be able to get any rich man.and then be rich (all the feminists who have ever fought for our rights are turning in their grave)
definately sexy, I might be unfortunate with money but I’m sure I’d be happy with my string of a-list boyfriends….mmmm matt damon….
RICH! I wouldn’t care if I looked hideous, cos if I won the Lotto I’d build a mansion in the countryside with an enclosed heated pool and extensive landscaped gardens and I would wear wellies all day long anyway. And even the ugliest rich woman attracts gold-diggers. I’d wear my handsome young gold-digger out, then I’d discard him! Heh heh heh.
Sexy sexy! I’m broke anyway and getting by alright so being supasexy wouldn’t hurt!
Much as I love money… I think I’d have to go for sexy too. Actually I’m thinking of Daniel Craig here…
Oh Sexy 4 sure, c if ur sexy & broke, u can marry a rich man. But rich & ugly, you’d never be really happy or secure in urself
Sexy!hands down.
Millie – a marriage to a rich man (according to the rules of richVsexy) would end in a horrible messy divorce that would leave you bankrupt and penniless!
Sexy!
definitely sexy, you could always find a rich handsome man that way!!
so have to agree with Millie there we’d find some way around the divorce
sexy sexy sexy! I’d race my car before I crashed it and I’d laugh (sexily) when I realised I’d lost my Euromillions ticket/ brand new iphone/ DB9 keys because my crazy-loaded super-hot boyfriend would just smile and say “darling… you must be more careful… but here’s a replacement…”
wow, I could totally get into that!
one compliments the other….if you were rich enough…you could buy sexy!!!
sexy
sexy all the way u might be poor living in dire straits but you wudn’t av time to think about it with all the a listers tiring you out! plus u mightnt b able to marry them but they can still take u out 4 dinner n stuff so ul als b well fed!
Just a point – feminists are still fighting for our rights, they’re not all rolling in their graves and we still don’t have equal pay, so that’s just something worth considering (as a complete aside).
I was gonna say sexy because really looks get you everywhere in this world, but then I thought that if I was really rich I’d still have a great personality, I’d just have loads of money to spend too! So it’s not like my boyf / friends / family would abandon me! And I’d have an amazing house, lifestyle, etc. So I’d rather be rich!
Rich, sure wouldn’t some hot gold digging young fella, with no morals, want to sleep with you for your money anyway!
I thought sexy first and then I thought oh lordy you can’stay sexy forever so George Clloney would leve me and I’d be a lonely old crone. Then I decide it would have to be rich but I would never ever know if people wanted me for myself or my money and I’d develop such a complex I’d still end up a lonely old crone!
Oh I don’t know Aphrodite! Why do have to be asking us these questions that have no answers??
Sexy – you can get fed by all the super sexy men who are taking you on dates 24/7, go on holidays with same said people, and get same said men to buy you little presents like make up etc (nothing big and fancy so I dont break the rules). AND with the Dole…sure you’d be grand!
I had to think about it, but I’d pick rich. I’d rather have to get by on my personality than my looks, and sure you can have more fun if you’re loaded!
I still can’t decide- if you pick sexy, you’re looks are going to run out at some point and then you’re broke and lonely….if you pick rich, then you might have a great personality and attract someone (not with your looks) but at least you’d be able to indulge yourself in anything you wanted to make yourself feel better when you’re lonely….but then that still won’t make you as a person feel better inside…feck it ill have to pick sexy coz you might be happier inside!
Rich!! It would be way better to have fun all over the world with family & friends instead of hoping to someone’s plaything & they will support you. & with all your money you will still be living the high life, mingling with A Listers & when they get to know you, will for you because of your dazzling personality & charm & cos they are bored of the beautiful clones… & they all lived happily ever after
SEXY!
Money can’t buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery
Ì think this discussion brings up the interesting – and sad – point that we are living in an age when people think you would be happier on the inside if you were good-looking. That’s not a dig, I think that too (else why would I be a member of a hideously expensive gym!?), but I think it is an odd society we live in that being sexy is valued over being rich. If you’re rich, some of the time you’ve earned your money – you might be intelligent, resourceful, an amazing entrepreneur, a talented writer, etc… if you’re sexy, well, you’re just sexy. You didn’t do nuttin’ to earn it, as a good aul’ Dub might say. Mad.
Rich. Definitely. End of!
well ya could be sexy and intelligent,resourceful and all of the above, but just , in this fantasy, you dont use it.. and sometimes,sexy women(and men) arent the best looking person in the room, there just something about them.it can be the way they carry themselves and relate to others. ive often been suprised with some of my lad friends and who they find sexy…baffling..
money cant buy you happiness but cant it make you beautiful???..i mean beauty products aren’t free soo id go for rich,that way you get best of both worlds eh?!

Still rather be sexy Aphrodite
dear, i think that it is not a dilemma.
Why? the money do you transform an ugly person?
i don´t think so… it´s the opposite, the power its sexy
you can be a beast, ugly,etc but if you have money… you are very “sexy”…
like the playboy old man….an old man, its not to nice…but
its the owner of playboy mantion and have all that beati girls…
-and if you are poor…and very nice…ummm…for get it…
maybe you can win any girl but the poors are never sexy….
rich = sexy
poor = not sexy
it´s dosent mather if you have a good or bad body, you money mather
lolol
This thread is 100% anti-feminism. Why do we need to be rich or sexy? Can I choose happy?
eh it’s a joke post – like your name “piggy”.
You sound like a really happy person anyway. 100% happy!
Baaaaahahahahahahaha
