have the power of:
Invisibility?
Immortality?
Flight?
Super strength?
Irresistible sexual magnetism?
A giant cock that never fails to please? (Perfect body and face if you are a woman)
Invisibility would let you enter girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms unnoticed. This is like Porky’s minus the peepholes. As an invisible person, you could pilfer cash registers and rob banks unmolested. You could film upskirt videos all day long.
Immortality — tough to top this. Like in the movie Groundhog Day, immortality would allow you to hone your game to perfection. Approach a thousand sets? Please, give me a real challenge! After a few millennia picking up chicks in cities around the world you’d be such a formidable PUA the bards will write songs about you. Johnny Depp would sign up for your bootcamp. The perfect age at which to acquire immortality? Men: 30. Women: 20.
Flight is cool. Flight is alpha. It is the ultimate DHV (demonstration of higher value. literally!). Heroes sucks because Nathan hardly ever uses his ability to fly. It’s like he’s ashamed of it. What a pussy. I’d be up in the air all the time. Having trouble closing the deal on that Day 2? Just lean in and whisper “Hey, lemme show you something”, put your arm around her waist, and glide over the city. Instant orgasm.
Super strength is another DHV, but one of limited applicability. Lift a car aside so your girl has room to parallel park? Awesome. Knock out a roomful of meatheads for the sheer joy of it? That’s try hard. You’ll get laid by sluts with high primitiveness, but the quality girls will roll their eyes.
Irresistible sexual magnetism means you would pick up the handful of chicks who aren’t turned on by flying in the air with the guy above. It’s big advantage is that you don’t need to do jack shit to get laid. Just sit on a chair and wait for the girls to come to you. There’s not much thrill of the chase, but it does make life easier. I predict a lot of betas would choose this power.
As I am blessed with an enormous, pussy pleasing cock, I can only tell you this power is as good as you’d imagine. My life would be so much easier if it was socially acceptable to unzip and let it roll to the ground on first dates. Unfortunately, I still have to go through the motions of courting women.
For me, it’s the choice between flight and super strength. In theory, flight makes sense if one feels like cheating airlines out of their money, but that presumes I can fly long distances without becoming tired at the same speed as a plane. Otherwise, I’ll take the super strength and use my powers to help people like a good little guilty Catholic beta.
Invisibility is only useful if I join the CIA, immortality is questionable at best due to the fact that it isolates one from society knowing that you’ll simply outlive everyone that you’ll love including your own children. Irresistible sexual magnetism and a sexually pleasing cock are of limited usefulness and provide for no financial gain.

– Invisibility
The locker room deal sounds nice. I’d get addicted to this real quick.
– Immortality
A raw deal, even assuming no physical deterioration and an infinite ability to acquire new memories. Mostly for reasons that David noted.
– Flight
I had an extremely lucid dream a few weeks ago that I was flying. Nothing like it.
The mechanics of it felt very realistic, not “magical” like Superman flying with no apparent effort at self-propulsion. It felt somewhat like swimming, except that an arms’ stroke propelled me faster and farther than a normal stroke in water. I did all kinds of crazy stuff, like I’d fly up about 100 yards, nosedive, only to steady myself a few feet above ground, to the shock of onlookers.
The dream was so long, and so damn realistic-feeling, that when I woke up, it was to a geniune disappointment.
– Super strength
What Roissy said. It has many advantages, but presumably a metal pipe to the head or a bullet would trump my strength. Then again, you’d probably wanna make sure this strength comes with a titanium skeleton. You don’t want to rip out your own sternum while playing shot-putting a fat chick.
– Irresistible sexual magnetism
I once knew a guy like that. He wasn’t all that good looking either, or very dominant-seeming, but he’d just stand there and smile, and girls would just draw to him. He was 26 at the time, and claimed, very plausibly, to have slept with more than 300 women.
– A giant cock that never fails to please
Well, you don’t want a key that’s too big for most key holes, either, like that Orca in your “Secrets” post. A big, firm, beautifully shaped one, but not monstrous, is better to have than something that would impress guys in the locker room but scare any female smaller than a mare.
I think I’d take flight.

with sexual attraction a given think about all the things you could make happen for yourself. david alexander is dead wrong when he says there’s no financial gain in it. in fact, you’d never have to work another day. you could travel the world with the jet set crowd living off wealthy women. if you did want to work, think of the advantage you’d have in any interview process involving a woman. want to go into politics? you’ve got 51% of the population who just find something so damn likable about you.

Invisibility – Very tempting, especially with Roissy’s example. It would be cool at first, but I’d eventually become a criminal. Not cool.
Immortality – Never. Eventually you’d get so intelligent and wise that the whole human race would bore the hell out of you. And you’d gain and lose so many friends that you’d be cold as ice inside.
Flight – This would be very cool for a time, but it might get boring. I’d have to try hang gliding before deciding on this one.
Super Strength – The most “useful” of the traits, in that you could be an amazing cop or soldier. But there would be nothing you could do that a machine couldn’t do better. Lest anyone think they could do cool comic book things like pick up airplanes and such – not gonna happen, no matter how strong you are. Big objects usually aren’t made to be picked up by applying pressure to one tiny point. The physicist in me had to point that out.
Irresistible Sexual Magnetism – This is tempting. I do alright, but it would be great if it came easier. Of course it would have to be manageable – I’d have to be able to turn it down or things could get ridiculous. After all, water is heaven to a man trapped in a desert, and hell to a man trapped in the ocean.
A giant cock that never fails to please – I’m pretty happy with my tool, but if I knew that every woman I bedded was completely blown away by it, I could use it to keep the right woman satisfied for the rest of my life, which would keep me satisfied as she cooked my food and cleaned my house, never being able to get the dreamy smile off her face.

Flight would be cool because it almost guarantees wealth and lots of chicks, plus it’s a physically exhilarating experience that could be beyond sex in some ways.
Practically speaking, it would depend on how fast you could fly. If I could fly as fast as a jet airliner, that would save a person a lot on airline tickets.
You could leverage flight into wealth by charging spectators to see you, say, at airshows, festivals, concerts, ballgames, arena shows. The downside is that inevitably there will be a few crazies who will want to shoot at you.
You didn’t mention mind-reading or omniscience, which would perhaps be the most tempting of powers… they would also almost guarantee great wealth, plus they’d put a safety net under your sex life, because you could pre-screen for girls/guys who are really interested, and not waste your time on the rest.

I was thinking immortality along the lines of the characters in Heroes who certainly can die it’s just not easy for them to.
If that choice is out then i’m going for the sexual magnetism, but I agree with others that the mind-reading would trump this since you could still get pretty much any girl but you wouldn’t have to worry about unwanted attention like you might by being a sex-magnet.

This is kind of a physcological inkblot test, because these powers haven’t been given any upper or lower limit. So people can make there choice ‘the best’ by increasing or decreasing it’s level.
Immortality, what do we mean? Just not aging and immune to ordinary diseases? That’s still probably the best, but it’s got alot of problems with it. In other words, you can ‘lower it’ pretty easily. Not-dying but not getting better being the most obvious.
Flight really depends on speed and control. If it lets you go orbital, then you are now an astronaught! If you can carry stuff with you, then you are worth +$100,000 an hour…. assuming nobody disects you. At a certain point…. controlled super-flight becomes super-speed. Super-speed is the single mightest physical power.
Invisibility isn’t invunerability, and can go bad fast. Doors still need to be opened, you still need to breath. If you are shot full of bullets, then will you not bleed?
Super-strength….. not so much.
Super-sexappeal… super-trumps ‘large dick’. I mean really, if the woman/man wants you, if you’ve completely charmed him/her… then they’ll be reasonably happy with you in bed no matter what. And your going to rapidly get the experience that will make you very good in bed anyway. Needs to be turn-offable… just like invisibility and super-strength.
Super-looks…. models get payed alot. But for everything else, Super-sex appeal is way better.
So without power-boosting or penalizing, super-sexappeal and immortality are going to be the best. If you change flight to super-speed then you have a very, very tough contention between the three.

Invent the necessary device.

Immortality. During which I would try to undo the human condition and bring everyone into immortality with me.

We can achieve immortality (or at least freedom from aging) via Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS).

Would you rather be a 3 or less, but magically have super sex-appeal with the opposite sex, or be a 10, but have just average sex appeal because of an awkward personality?
No, you can’t change your looks or your personality in this scenario. They are fixed.
i’m assuming, or at least hoping, that this question was aimed solely at the ladies.

fwiw- with respect to sexual magnetism and fabulous cock, there’s actually a movie about a guy who has both of these. it’s playing on the ifc channel, and it’s called hanzo the razor: the snare. watched it on friday and thought of roissy. sick…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanzo_the_Razor
from the wikipedia entry: Hanzo interrogates female suspects by raping them; later, he drinks sake with them in his o-furo and they immediately become infatuated with him, but primarily due to his sexual prowess;
basically, the guy’s dick is irresistible, even to priestesses.
but don’t bother watching the second half of the movie. it’s boring.
xoxoxo…

Sounds like “Office Space.” First half: classic. Second half: yawn.

I’d have to go with immortality. There’s just so much out there to do. Agreeing with Guapo though, I’d want to see about getting others in on it.
Of course, then you need to get us off the rock, but that’s just physics once you can wait to get to another rock.

johnny five – yes, the question would make a bit more sense if aimed at a woman than at a guy… however I have known lots of guys who are so wrapped up in their looks, they’d probably take being a 10 with the mediocre sex appeal, than being a 3 who happens to be a stud.
When I lived in Puerto Rico, I knew lots of heterosexual guys, or at least guys who claimed to be straight, who were very vain and obsessed with their looks, but who seemed to be less interested in banging hot women than the average looking guys. It must be a Latin thing.

Roissy, you should know better than to make self-aggrandizing statements that (at least a majority of) your readers can’t verify. You can talk all the talk you want, but until you actually walk the cock, consider me underwhelmed.

“-Irresistible sexual magnetism?

As I am blessed with an enormous, pussy pleasing cock, I can only tell you this power is as good as you’d imagine. My life would be so much easier if it was socially acceptable to unzip and let it roll to the ground on first dates. Unfortunately, I still have to go through the motions of courting women.”
roissy tends to be spot on. but here the wishful thinking of his wounded beta’s past gets the better of him. the male equivalent of perfect body and face in a woman is not a giant cock. it is irresistible sexual magnetism — as that is what perfect body and face afford to a woman.
and irresistible sexual magnetism is what roissy, despite his brilliance and considerable game, does not have and secretly hopes to get closer to with this post, in which he finds it socially acceptable to “unzip and let it roll to the ground”
it’s like guy’s telling dick jokes, which really say: “hey, i’ve got this hidden quality. i’m underappreciated. i should get more pussy.”
roissy should stop being a pussy and just really take it out in a bar or club. the balls that takes tend to impress girls more the cock, i’m afraid.
