After thinking long and hard about it, what is your answer?
A handsome guy who has no cash.
Work! - YOU will work?
I will!
Handsome guys just think that someone else will come along if not me.

A good looking fellow... but he is poor.
An ugly guy, who is rich...
Which one would you like?
Depends how ugly...
I think an ugly dude with money is better.
Why so?
If he is just a little ugly, I might be able to change that about him.
I might be able to change him to my tastes. - Like fashion.
You can't change his face.
No! You can change a face a lot with surgery. - OMG.
What plastic surgery???
I would pick money. If there is no money, you can't live a good life.
I think money is necessary.
What will you pick then?
It depends how poor the handsome guy is. If I really liked him, I could do without the money.
But I think I would realistically get the rich guy.
Money is important for our economic strength.
I'd pick the handsome guy without the cash.
Why the handsome guy?
About money, think we can both work something out together.
You're born with that face, you cannot change that.
But money is something that you can achieve with your own strength.
Handsome but poor.
Same reason? - Same reason.
After thinking long and hard about it, what is your answer?
Handsome but poor.
When I am exhausted, I can look at his face and think...
he's got the face I love. I will feel relaxed.
Well that's a looks problem... I think ugly... no handsome but poor!
Why so?
Why? If he is ugly but very wealthy, he might have character. Might be prejudice.
Because he has too much money?
Exactly!
I don't need that much money.
I want a rich guy. Life will be good that way.
Safety route?
If the handsome guy has no money, we can't live well.
If he is handsome, I think we can work something out.
I think we can can have a future.
Let's work.
You will work? - I will.
So you can make a living together? - Yes.
No. I would pick the ugly one who has money.
You all have different opinions, this is fun. So why?
A wealthy life is a good life.
In that wealthy life, what do you want all that money for?
Traveling? A house? - I want a house.
Food. I want to eat high class food.
I want the good looking one.
When they are older, they will all look the same.
At least while I am young I want a handsome boyfriend.
You want to walk around with him.
Ugly but rich for me.
Why so? - I used to be the other way around...
But when you have money, you have less worries.
What will you do with the guy? Take him to get a haircut?
I see. I have the option to change him. I would.
If I can, I will.
You said you were different before.
I picked a guy by looks and got hurt.
Yeah I learned from that.
The story? He cheated on me many times.
Even though I was his girlfriend, he always put me last.
I was just convenient for him.
I feel you.
That's why you picked someone who is not as pretty and has cash.
Popular people think that there will always be someone else coming around.
And when you marry?
I want stability.
I don't care about his looks. I want him to mentally and economically be stable.
What type of stability do you want?
If he is too handsome, I will worry that he will cheat on me again.
I will be so worried. Maybe I am too uptight.
Don't worry. - That't how I think.
You want a partner who is seriously thinking of a future together. - Yes.
You answers were all about dating. Will they change when you date?
That depends on how poor he is when we want to marry.
If he is still super poor when we marry, I might have to think about it.
But if we have worked something out then it would be ok.
If I love him, I will marry him.
So it doesn't matter. - It doesn't matter.
If he is super poor...
we have both to wait until we both have saved up enough for the wedding.
I will make that money.
If that's a way for us to be together, I will work and make that money.
You said "we will work it out" a lot but...
How will you work things out?
I will work. - I will work.
So you will all choose to work... and catch the handsome guy
I will catch my handsome fellow.
Does your decision stay the same, when you're dating or marrying?
Doesn't change.
That doesn't change.
When you marry, will you still be the same or will you think about it?
I will stay with my handsome guy.
The Handsome guy might have more of a future..
Why so?
With hand some face... If he looks good... I can see him having a good future.
You'll make him work with that face? - I'll make him work!
You're pretty so get some work. - Like that.
When you marry, you still stay with the handsome poor guy?
No, then I will choose MONEY.
What seriously?
Dating a poor guy is ok but when marrying he has to have money? - Yes.
No I stay with my choice and will work instead
You will support him financially.
You will make him work? - I will work too.
You keep your handsome fellow. - I will.
Those were all our questions. Thank you.
Money versus looks. It seemed first like it was kind of an equal...
result but then, looks won.
Many girls actually said, if he doesn't look good, we can't change that but...
but we can change the money that we make and many girls said ...
"I am gonna work" "I am gonna make the money!"
So we can stay together with that handsome guy. So interestingly enough...
with the girls the LOOKS won for the guys.
But many also said they'd rather have a comfortable life...
rather than having a handsome partner.
Some of them preferred the money, and the safety and comfort that money gives you, to the looks.
Very interesting. What do you think about the results?
