You assume that I am not already both?

But seriously, I would rather be rich because one can always buy happiness.

Rich. Money is fun to have and looks do little to nothing for you. (Unless your only concern is girls/guys, which is a pretty lame thing to want looks for) Who says money can't buy you happiness? People always give examples that money doesn't equal love and all of that, but in reality that is not really the case.

Rich. Superficial beauty can be easily bought. But if you're a decent person on the inside anyway, you probably wouldn't feel the need to. But the option would always be there.

I don't think being rich can buy happiness, but it can ease the stresses associated with being poor and aid in the path to happiness if not pave the way itself.

Well, if I couldn't change... I'd actually rather be pretty. A gal can get a lot of things with good looks while still technically being poor. :p
But I guess I'm saying that because I'm a girl. I think most guys would choose the opposite.

I'd take rich.
Looks decrease as time passes, while well-invested money increases as time passes.

I'd choose wealth. I'm not model material but I'm not ugly either. Plus sufficient wealth could buy me plastic surgery if I needed it that badly.

I chose sexy.
Step 1) Be sexy
Step 2) Acquire job as actor
Step 3) Become rich
Step 4) Don't let the fame go to your head and remember to invest.

Rich, obviously. Rich guys no matter how ugly they look, still get women, even ones that aren't gold-diggers.

Well yes but if you were rich you could just make yourself sexy.
Still I'd rather go with what you said: I'd love to be a professional actor.
Sure you could make yourself sexy when you're rich, but the operation could go south and you would be deformed. Also it would cost a lot so you wouldn't necessarily be rich anymore, just above average.

Well, I ain't exactly bad looking, and student loan debts are piling up.
I'll take the money. It can't buy happiness, but it can buy balloons, chocolate and bubblewrap, which are near enough the same thing.

Rich. The world can go stuff itself. I'm misanthropic and proud of it damnit!

That and having an anxiety disorder would mean it wouldn't matter how good looking i was; i wouldn't be able to make effective use of my devishily good looks, so it'd be a waste.

I am neither, so THERE YOU ARE.

But rich, because dominance makes you appear attractive and money is a form of dominance so I get the benefit of both as well as being set for life.

Once I win the lottery or get a brilliant job, I'll be both ;D [/egotistic inflation]

More seriously, I'd rather not be either to an extreme extent. I'm not greedy and wouldn't like more than a few million. Enough to allow me to live comfortably for my life...

On the other hand, I'd hate to be overly handsome too. I work in my local grocery store and I have customers come up to me in the middle of the street to talk to me as if I'm supposed to be their friend. Makes me sick and I hate the attention. I'm not nasty to them, of course, but I wish it would stop. I used to want to be an actor, but then I realised that if I hate this amount of attention, how would life be if I was world famous? It's the same thing for being good looking. I'd get attention all the time without a private moment...
