Would You Rather Win $100m On The Lottery Or All Your Hair To Grow Back?

I agree but i think you're hugely blowing out of proportion how girls simply hunt guys for the best genes they can get a hold of in regards to physical appearance. Men are undoubtably more shallow than women. Women although still shallow (as of course you have to be attracted to someone to begin with) do have a much bigger attraction compared to men in regards to personality. All my friends who are girls have expressed this as being true, where looks are nice but personality is equally if not more important.
Looking at married couples you can often find women who are 10/10 who are with 7/10 type men, but never do you find a man who's a 10/10 in a relationship with a girl whos less than a 9.

I will PM you who the person is.
I'm surprised that this seems dumb to someone who puts himself in the inferior genome category. it should resonate to you. (sarcasm)

$100 million... the only reason I care about my hair is because of how people perceive me/how I appear to others. If I had $100 million, I wouldn't ever need to leave my house. I could continue thinning to NW7, and it wouldn't matter because no one but I would be able to see it.
I'm saying that you have to be sexually attracted to your romantic partner.
It is everyone else who is blowing that out of proportion.
I don't agree, and I will explain why further down.
Notice that they tell you "equally" if not more important.
Also, what women say and what women DO are often two very different things. This likely comes from being the sex that shoulders the burden of having all your potential suitors fates in your hands. Even below-average looking women have far more romantic prospects open to them than even an average man. When you're in such a position, you will inevitably be rejecting quite a few men on a regular basis and you have to find some way to crush people's dreams and still be able to sleep at night.
"He's not my type..."
"He's really nice, but..."
All of these mean "I can't imagine his dick being in my mouth or any other orifice so I can't imagine sitting down to candlelight dinners and raising a family in a house with a white picket fence either".
and that's totally fair.
For all the insistence of this being the case, I can really and truly say that I see the exact opposite of what you're describing far, far more commonly. Secondly, plenty of married people, especially men, feel like they've "won" their spouse and then let themselves go. 60% divorce rate is still a true statistic. There is also the matter of subjectivity in the "number' system and the fact that many "9" women are a 6 the second the makeup comes off.
To address my earlier point: Women are afforded an enormous variety of phenotypes that are deemed attractive. Anything that would normally be a "flaw" on man (overweight), is — at worst — fetishized on women. There is no shortage of men who are into fat women, hairy women, women with small breasts, large breasts, particular hair colours, fuckin' amputees...the list goes on. Every single woman on this planet, I swear on it, has at least one guy out there who would sell his soul to bone her. And here's the tough part: Not all of these men chasing these women are unattractive.
But as far back as I can find, across civilizations into their earliest days, there is only one male phenotype that has been considered attractive: What these forums call "Chad". He's tall, he's jacked, he has a fullhead or damn-near of hair, and a jaw you could forge fuckin' excalibur on. There is NOTHING else, that has been seen as sexually-attractive when it comes to men by anything resembling a consensus.
Every woman alive would absolutely be with this man if she could. The problem is that there aren't nearly enough of these guys in the world and when it comes down to it, most people will take "second best" instead of winding up forever alone. Especially considering that biological clock women have when it comes to having children.
I'm not even 30, and I already know plenty of women who will be alone with their cats (they already are) because they are average at best, but are WAITING for this idealistic man to come sweep them off their feet. They post pictures with cringey romantic quotes about men treating women like princesses overlayed on a picture of some ripped guy in a cowboy hat. Their girlfriends tag them in memes about being single and sh*t.
Most people, even really good-looking ones, are smart enough to realize that we aren't likely to wind up with the fantasy in their head. Their will ALWAYS be someone more attractive, etc.
But that doesn't mean, that the person they "settle" with doesn't still make their nether regions tingle. The only people for whom this doesn't generally apply is the bottom of the barrel; the least attractive people. They will get with just about anyone on their "level" simply so that they don't wind up alone.
I used to think that with such people, there was a certain kind of serenity to that. Like maybe they forged stronger relationships because of it. But in my experience, it's much more common these people are in a "misery loves company" situation.

But there are some, like me, who have two-three kinda of very aggressive Alopecia... and there’s no way in hell all of Elon Musk’s money could buy us a transplant.
So yeah, for some of us, a full head of hair is a miracle.

What is wrong with those who are choosing hair over money!
$100M! You’ll be respected for the money, have you seen a begger with good genes? No one respects him! If your friends make fun of your baldness, you can always bring your money card!
As far as love life is concerned, well you can be betrayed or left if you’re poor. Lack of money & hard ships of life may f*** you more than you f*** your girl.
Further it is claimed 2/3rd of men are prone to baldness, 40 and you’re rich those 2/3rd look somewhat like you.
SWISS Lace Toupee! Every f*****g month, you can buy those expensive sh*t, and maybe wear for next 10 years flat. Certainly we’ll have tsuji or something by then.
I know its all hypothetical, but if i ever get rich. I’ll help young baldies. Maybe tsuji, replicel whatever that helps them. Sorry 40+ and above, you’ll never undertstand the pain of teenagers or mid 20s and balding. When only 1/10 or 2/10 are balding, & you’re that unfortunate mofo.
Last thing to conclude, “No one is perfect” & also “Not everyone is rich”. If i am bald, my other trait is strong enough to compensate.
Instagram life, big beard and b****s like dan bilzerian keeps!

This is a misleading thread title because excellent hair can be purchased with money, for most of us. If you take the thread title literally, then the money is the better option, as 100 million dollars enables perfect hair to be obtained with ease with plenty of money left over, roughly 99.98 million. I realize now that by arguing against this thread's literal point rather than the spirit of the point, I was being pedantic.
I'm going to go by the "spirit" of the thread, rather than taking it literally, and change my vote. I would rather be a ~9+/10 like Chris Hemsworth, with a middle class income, then be worth 100 million with a middle-tier body and face:
This is actually implicitly understood by people, and I'm going to give an example from popular culture. The genie in Aladdin says that he can give Aladdin anything he wants with his three wishes, with three exceptions. He can't change the past, he can't bring back the dead, and he can't make people fall in love. For those of you who are not literature-inclined, that is obviously a metaphor for the power of money, which is supported by the fact that Aladdin starts off poor in the story. Rich people can do pretty much anything they want ... with a few exceptions. Those happen to be the things that money can't buy, and even a genie can't give you. Rich people try, of course, some of them hire lawyers to affect the historical record, some like Barbara Streisand use cloning to try and bring back their dead dogs, and some marry trophy wives. But it doesn't work, and that's been understood by our culture for a long time. We recently had the interesting sci-fi series Altered Carbon come out, in that universe, rich people can buy eternal life and perfect bodies that even give off extra pheromones, if they want to -- notice that those are the changes. It's the breakdown of those barriers that is meant to give us anxiety by portraying dystopia.
I'm going to estimate, non-rigorously, that being rich can typically buy you 2 points out of 10 in terms of greatly facilitating looks-maxing. That's worth a lot, a lot, but it won't take most of us to Henry Cavill level:
Conversely, it's also the case that your lifetime earnings will be higher if you're good looking, and your expenses might well be lower, so that should be factored as well.
Here's a famous pic of 9+/10 model Gal Gadot smiling at Chris Pine and admiring how handsome he is. After a few seconds, she realizes that she's on camera, she bites her lip and looks away in embarrassment. This gif was mostly made famous by women, by the way, as it made women all over the world relate to Gal Gadot. If anything that helped Wonder Woman's gross.
It's not as though Gal Gadot married Joe Blow. She married a good-looking man, who is comfortably above average by any standard. He just isn't god-tier level like Chris Pine:

@JohnsonDDG, the photo above of Chris Hemsworth reminded me of you. One of your photos kind of looks like him. He just has darker hair.
Well said and good examples. Especially the Aladdin part.

Homerun.
I agree with much of what you're saying but i do think you're failing to acknowledge certain aspects of how women look at men.
For example in my friendship group one of our buddies is to put it simply - a very average guy. Dad bod, just a normal face, pretty receded hairline. He is very middle of the spectrum. However, the way he holds himself, and the chat that he has results in him doing better with women than any of us - and i mean very attractive women. On the flip side we have another friend who is actually too good looking for his own good but doesn't do as well because he's quiet and introverted on social level so much so he'd have trouble holding conversation with his own reflection. Women can generate physical attraction out of a guys persona much more than men do with women. Never do you see a fat ugly woman charm a very attractive guy at a bar regardless of if she has money, status etc. The saying women think with their hearts and men think with their dicks come to mind.
Now i see what you mean by men having a broader spectrum of fetishes in women, such as fat women, hairy women - however i dont personally see / know of men who would prefer anything other than a Victoria secret like model. Women do have a huge spectrum of differences as well, some women like the pretty almost girly looking type guy, some like the athletic guy, some simply like the man with power, or the muscle bound bald head and beard guy. In my experience women are far more receptive of a personality and a sense of humour than men are to women.
If we look at really wealthy men, regardless of what they look like, will always have an attractive woman on their arm - because women are more accepting of a mans physicality when he has other things to offer (yes money) but also emotionally supportive attributes. You will not find an ugly woman with extreme wealth and expect her to have a good looking man on her arm - men just aren't willing to stray from what they want physically because they dont have those desires for the supporting attributes like women do. I personally, regardless of how good of a sense of humour or money a woman has, if i don't find her physically attractive - i'm not going near her.
Maan too much loneliness can really f*** up a guy. do you think what you're saying is the work of thorough analysis of our society ? No man everyone knows that from the age of 5, it's an implicit standard everyone seems to socially comply to, except you're taking it to the next level and way out of proportions. tbh i'm not surprised when it's the same sh*t everyone is bitching and echoing on every f*****g male forums
Exactly, espacially attractive women in corporate world, she will be 10 times more attracted to a man with a great cercle of 'hot shots' no matter how he looks like. The thing is we're all diggers, we (men & women) dig for gold, looks, power and many more things. If she loves you because of how you look then once that's gone she won't love you anymore, same principle as money and i don't see why when it comes to money it bothers people more ?
I don't know why you keep quoting me.
I've made my point and I stand by it: When it comes to women, it's better to be good-looking than rich and not. It's better to live modestly, but happily rather than fill your life with people who are only there for your money. And I don't believe for a minute that a hot 25-years-old woman with an ugly guy in his 60s just because he's rich is a good, honest, deal in 99% of cases.
So to the poll, I'd rather be middle class and full-headed than filthy rich and bald.
I'm not sure why you have such a difficult time with this.
Because i want to help you see things differently and at the same time maybe save you from missing on something just because you're stubborn about this unilateral view you have.
But you do realise that when you're good looking people are also there just because of how you look and not because of who you are, and it's actually a real struggle for attractive people that often drags them into acute depression. point is : money, looks or power are what attracts people to you same goes for women. For me yeah it's great to be good looking but it's just f*****g way better to have a sh*t load of money
