Thin or Rich
Woman’s Day magazine and AOL asked women “If you could choose, would you rather have Jennifer Aniston’s physique or be a millionaire?”

(I had to show her body so you would know what you were picking between. You will be happy to know I picked a photo with her body that was more clothed than the other options).
78% said “I’d rather have the money.” 22% responded I would rather “look like Jennifer.”
Would you rather be poor and thin or fat and rich?

fat and rich..duh
I think I’d rather be poor and thin. I don’t think I’d be a very good rich person. I’m very happy without money.
If I were fat and rich I could hire a personal trainer. If I were poor and thin, I could make some money (theoretically).
So either one, with enough willpower, I could handle.
eh… I’d rather be rich. I intend to accomplish the healthy (not THIN) by myself
poor and thin….like I am now lol, ah the life of a grad student
Poor and thin, then marry rich.
The best of both worlds.
Being that I am already poor and thin, and it sucks, I’ll go with fat and rich.
i am poor and thin!
Fat and rich. I could buy thinness.
Poor and thin.. I have enough trouble getting around.. I don’t need too be fat too..
Fat and rich. I could get lipo and/or get a nice exercise gym.
If I had her figure, I’d go into porn and get rich. Or lose all of my self-esteem and have lot’s of sex!
Take that, the system.
rich then I could pay a trainer
You can’t make money appear out of thin air. With work, you can remove fat.
I’ll be fat and rich anyday. You can be poor and thin right until you die.
If you are rich, you have options. If you are poor, you’re screwed.
From birth.
And it’s not my problem.
But it should be.
Poor and thin. I’ve always hated money, anyhow.
It’s a win/win. You could choose the body and then end up famous that way and get the money or you can take the million and get plastic surgery to look like her. BAM!
I’d pick to look like her.
At least I’d be shallow either way, though!
I’m already fat. May as well give me the money.
I will take the money,It is my dream to build a hospital in the village where the child I sponsor through Compassion lives.
Eh, poor and thin. I really don’t want to be rich, money has no sway over me.
Hey, fat is a shape!
Fat and rich- I’m a bleeding heart so I’d use it to help in ways that I could.
More likely poor and thin.
i’m already thin, so rich sounds good
I’m both anyway!
if the question was young and thin or fat and old and rich – i’d probably select young, thin because there would be time to become rich, specially with a bod like that!
poor and thin
I’d rather take the money than look like Jennifer.
But otherwise, that’s a pretty shitty choice, considering I’m already thin and rich.
I’d rather be where I’m at now. Whatever that is.
I had no idea Jennifer was fat, though, if that’s what you mean when you ask the question.
I’m poor and thin right now, and it seems to be working out alright.
I am not poor right now. So I would pick her physique. Then I would not be a millionaire, but I would be financially stable and then some, and thin. Which would be pretty kickass.
ryc: I am not that cool either. In fact, you are probably cooler than me. My friend got me interested in their music a while back, and she is the cool one.
For someone who has been deprived of both that is a hard decision. I guess since I am used to the way I am, I would like the money so I could do some good with it for my family and others in need. Even though, Dan, that is a ‘smokin’ hot’ picture of Jen. You did a good job picking this one.
both would fade but i think at this point i’d rather look like jennifer.
Fat and rich…
probably poor and thin. but thinner than her.
than come across richness later. by college or marriage or something…
You can do a heck of a lot more good in the world with money than you can with looks. I choose the money.
I’d choose to look like her. It doesn’t say anywhere that you have to be POOR and thin, just not a millionaire… and I’m perfectly happy with a middle-class existance, thanks very much.
Thin and poor. By a long shot.
If I was a millionare, I would have $ for 1) A gym membership 2) a regular babysitter and 3) a personal trainer. . .and I would be buff.
I wonder how many people will say, “I choose fat and rich, because with my money I can just get liposuction
”
Stupid.
I choose neither.
I choose eating without counting calories, but counting my blessings (that I actually have food on my plate); and I do not want too much money that I’d forget God, and not too little that I’d dishonor his name by stealing.
. . .However, I could never tan like that, unless it was sprayed on.
Id rather be thin. But then again i have an eating disorder so for me, the question was unfair from the start lol.
I don’t really think either is a big concern for me … I just kinda like me ^__^
Fat and rich baybay!
This is hard to answer. I wouldnt want to be too thin and money does not buy happiness, but I do have quite a bit of bills.
Hi Dan… remember me over at cuemommy? I was wondering if you could check your mail. I am going to send you something in a second.
I’d take the $ and THEN use the $ to transform my body like hers.
Healthy and wealthy.
Neither. I’d prefer comfortable with enough discretionary income to give to those who have less than I do and healthy.
poor and thin.
if i had her physique, i will eventually become a millionaire, either be discovered by scouts or marry a rich guy.
my body her money.
but if i had to choose one of the other, poor and thin – I’m vain!
Fat and rich – I’d have a personal trainer and nutritionist to get myself to have a Jennifer Aniston body! If that didn’t work out, I’d be able to afford the plastic surgery route too!
Poor and thin. Money doesn’t buy happiness, and being fat is a recipe for being unhappy!!
Good question.
I’d rather have a million dollars and I could keep my own body. It’s not too fat.
Thin ’cause I could always make the money with my awesome skills.
poor and thin.
I’ll take the money…being thin won’t put me through school, but a million dollars will!
I don’t think it’s so much about being thin, but about being beautiful, and our society has a big thing for vanity.
I think women coohse thee one that will get them further in the world. If it’s beauty, then that’s your choice, if it’s money, then that’s yours.
Being 15, of course I would like both, but I know that each one comes with it’s own set of con’s, which might not be worth the pro’s.
give me the money
Poor and thin. Pretty girls never have to pay for anything anyhow.
thin and poor. it’s a lot easier to earn money than it is to lose weight!
Both please.
I am far from poor and I am thin.
No need to play this game
or, i could take the money and get plastic surgery. HAHAHAAHA.
Poor and thin.
I’m about to be that via I just joined a gym
Give me the money – I would think that if I were rich I could just pay to get thin again!
*HUGS*
You people are missing the point of the question. Idiots.
Poor and thin.
Having Anniston’s body is BOUND to get you goin with men of all economic stature.Â
poor and thin.
I’d take the money and buy the body.
regular and have enough money not to worry about life and bills (I guess that might be rich). I know its not an option, but I dont want to be thin – and since I am fat, i know I dont want to be that either… ha ha.
Daniel (doubledb)
Fat and rich.
….Sorry, I was distracted. What was the question?
Steph843, you sound like you wanna be Hanna Montana!
Best of Both Worlds huh!
All I hear from my Granddaughters now is Hanna Montana this and Hanna Montana that Sheeesh
hey, what about slightly overweight and middle class?
I’m not poor, but MAN ma I thin! 6’10″ and 165….a living and breathing real honest to goodness walking STICKMAN
wait wait wait.
that does not look like real hair.
it looks like it was photoshopped on or something.
id rather be rich, as a guy, i wouldnt want to look like jennifer anniston
I’d take the money. If I wanted her body, I could afford to pay for the surgery.
take the money.. cause then you could have lyposuction or something
i’m already healthy so I’ll take the money and if i wanted to i can ALSO buy myself a thousand dollar an hour trainer **as if I can be so selfish ** lol…but the thought is tempting.
Her physique isn’t worth millions of dollars, only fat lazy pigs would believe so. There are women with much finer bodies.
well….if i was rich i could pay to be thin
however….i also know how to work my ass off so i’d like to be poor and thin
I’d like to keep my body and take the money.
i would rather be FAT AND POOR. no wait… RICH AND THIN. No wait….
A millionare – because then, I could BUY her body via plastic surgery on myself. lol.
fat and rich, because then I could hire my own personal trainer, duh.
I’ll stick with my current status of poor and genetically thin.
fat and rich

fat and rich with a lil lipo on the side
thin and poor. but not looking like jennifer aniston.
Well, right now, I seem to be fat and poor, so either one sounds a little better than this!!
Poor and thin.
Fat & Rich. Then I could go buy some gym equipment. Then I could write a book on how to lose weight. Hahaha. What nonsense.
I’d rather be poor and thin. I already am poor, anyway.
neither. i’d rather be ME. =)
if you consider over 120lbs is fat. then i think i can tolerate it. i dont want to be rich but illness take over and i cant even squeeze through the doors,
I would rather be able to LOVE …..so well, all would be healed. And BE LOVED>
all else are substitutes
And If I were such, probably I would have both anyway!~
Fat and rich. She’s in great shape b/c she has the $ to have a personal trainer!
Poor and Thin
Fat and rich. Assuming I’m still the age and health I am now, meaning I could very easily resculpt my body to be around where it is now.
Hell, we are human, and a woman is the greatest gift of all on earth, if cannot enjoy the very existence of a woman dressed or undressed, then may all die now and get it over with for there is nothing more worth living for….
That’s a nice pic of her, give me the money…i can then buy a personal trainer and work my tail off. So I’ll have the money and the skinny.
Fat and rich!
Well considering I’ve struggled with weight pretty much my entire life, I’d have to say poor and thin. Either that and just stick with the way I am and be rich. I’m a tad dismayed to see that so many people want to be thin, though.
Losing weight is a cinch when you can afford personal trainers and nutritionists and exclusive gyms. No excuse to be fat when you are rich!
If I was obese I’d take the money, and use part of it for a trainer to get thin. Duh.
I’d choose to be a millionaire - then I would hire personal trainers & cooks to have Jennifer’s physique!
I”ll take the cash and run.
Oh with money can I afford to get a personal trainer and work out all the live long day since I won’t be working.
Like Anniston just came into that rocking body without any time in the gym.
Rich- DUH! I could “purchase” the body I wanted, then…
lol I’m with all those who say I’m already poor and thin! =D
Fat and rich. I could hire a personal trainer. :]
Wait a minute…Jennifer Aniston is thin AND rich, so I think that needs to be an option. ;o)
yeah i think id rather be poor and thin/pretty- wealth won’t buy myself happiness either^^
Poor and “healthy” and I assume thin is more toward healthy. Health is much more important than money.
fat and rich, thin can be bought any number of ways…
I’d rather be rich and then use that money to do some cosmetic surgeries or something. =P
Well…currently I am thin and poor. It’s okay…I would never choose to look like Jennifer Anniston. Though it seems like money is the solution to every problem…I’d rather just be happy, even if I’m a happy poor person.
I’d pick fat and rich. Then I could get gastric bypass.
i’ll probably have more trouble keeping my weight than keeping my wealth. wealth please.
poor and thin. I’ve lived poor before. It don’t bother me any. I’m not exactly rich now either so…
somebody asked:
“Would
you rather have Jennifer Aniston’s physique or be a millionaire?”
Well, granted i’m nobody, but let me affirm that I’d rather have
Jennifer Aniston’s Love than money; Dave’s has his own physique.

Rich. Then I could hire a personal trainer.
Can I have something in between? I don’t want to have a lot of money, just enough and I don’t want to be too thin or fat…I’d rather be stuck in the middle somewhere.
rich
poor and thin..i don’t need money
Fat & rich.
well I’m thin right now and I hate it.
so I think I’d have to go with the money and flab.
Poor and thin.
I’m not sure I’d do well with money either.
i’ll have the money. my physique isn’t far off from her already and i’m quite happy with how i look
plus, if i have the money, i can do so many things i can’t do at the moment. like, going back to school full-time without worrying about paying for it; or like, traveling across europe; or going on skiing trips… i’ll be so happy. being fat doesn’t matter at all!they say money can’t buy happiness. i totally agree. but if you’re already happy and you know what you want, money help you do so many things!
MONEYYY!!!
definitely thin and poor!!!!!!!!!!!
)
body image is always my #1 concern
I’d rather be rich and fat so I can get all the lypo I want
Well the question was whether we wanted Jennifer Anniston’s Physique or be a Millionaire.
Not whether you would want to be thin or fat and rich.
Only in America is it considered implied you are fat and ugly by default.
Quite Frankly I’d rather be a millionaire.
I’m a guy, thin feminine curves wouldn’t look right on me.
I don’t think I look too bad anyway.

Answer to first question: I rather be a millionaire than have Jennifer figure because I’m close to having her figure.
Answer to second question: I rather be rich than thin because I can exercise it off or get plastic surgery.
I would take the money. I can always work on my body.
