To Andrea who commented, "I'm a 58 year old happily married woman, who's had a weight problem her entire life. SHOW ME THE MONEY!":
I respect your comment greatly. It was very honest and illustrates my above point perfectly. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A perfect body doesn't give you a great attitude, or a perfect state of mind on how you view yourself and the rest of the world. People will always have insecurities regardless of how they look because of layers: childhood, media, movies, and magazines telling people that they aren't good enough, and how to be somebody they aren't.
Modeling isn't just about being a pretty face. You have to believe in yourself, treat people with respect, and work extremely hard to achieve your goals. I'd definitely take the money. Think of all the wonderful things you could do with that like feed the poor, humanitarian efforts, and pay off your debts owed to society.

having A perfect body is great but all the lipo and botox can only do so much.....a reasonable diet is more important than people realize.......but anyone that shops for good (healthy) food understands it IS more expensive......so having the money could help attain the perfect body
I would take the $1m but I would be interested to know if the poll data reflects our societies emphasis on women being beautiful and men being rich. From the initial results you presented this morning it appears that women voted for the body and men for the money.
The perfect body. Then I could finally get the perfect body to move in with me.
I will keep the body God gave me and I would take the million dollars and pay off my church loan balance of $300,000 and spend the rest on bills and spoil my three grandchildren..
i'll take the million and use half of it to attract the woman i like instead of using the perfect body. . . it's easier and i still would get to eat great food!
I rather have the 1 million and then I can work on having the perfect body with that one milion.
I rather have the 1 million and then I can work on having the perfect body with that one milion.
A perfect body is subjective; what's perfect? However a million needs no analysis. Gimme the cold, hard cash.
The body...If and only if that includes perfect health!
Defiantly the $1,000,000, getting the body would be easier.
Give me the money. At 52 I can diet and exercise and get the body
The answer is simple. I'll take the million! Then i'll build a nice house with a sweet gym! pay off a personal trainer for a few years and i'm good! They say money cant buy happiness...but i'll be willing to bet i can get that body and a few other amenities!
Define "perfect body." My 18 month old granddaughter has my ideal of a perfect body. This questions is loaded–am I focused on ego or money? In truth, I'd rather have the money. So much I could do with it–like pay for college by the time my granddaughter is old enough to go!!
Perfect body hands down... Assuming that "perfect body" includes one prone to longevity, free from disease, and without any nasty genetic surprises.
However, if it just means you look good for a few years, give me the money.
I will take the money! A fat man with a million looks better to women than a trim man without a million any day. I'll pay a trainer and save a couple of hundred thousand.
I will take $1Mil and work my body for 1 Mil 😛
ill take a million dollar, with that i wouldnt need a killer body. besides a million dollars looks alot better then a killer body..
Give me the mill I'll buy the body.
perfect body Work out
I would take the million and spend some of it on nutritionists, personal trainers and some plastic surgery to get the body I want.
Tahe the million dollars,hands down
gimmie the money, and I'll buy a transplant.
Herb, Price
Both choices are wonderful options.Receiving hand-outs are nice. However, neither gives you the satisfaction of working hard, and being proud of a job well done.
Simple question. Take the money. There's no such thing as the "perfect" body.
Give me the money, and I can have and keep a healthy body. Who cares about perfect when healthy is far more important in the long (or maybe short) run.
I would take the million bucks and buy the perfect body, maybe a few trips to the plastic surgeon 🙂
One bad weekend with Pizza and Mars bars and You'll wish youd taken the money.....
Take the money...how many body's can a $1M buy?
With a million dollars i could look like kiran chetry
I'd take the million buy a big house with a gym and get a trainer and have the whole family get perfect bodies.
The money! I would have the time to work on the perfect body and even hire a personal trainer! THEN I'd make more money selling the story of how a million dollars miraculously appeared in my bank account and I was instantly inspired to attain the perfect bod!!!
I would take the money, for the sole reason that i could afford the tings to give me me that perfect body.
I would ABSOLUTELY take the money. I am almost 50 and realize what a million dollars is worth
Assuming the money is tax free, I'd take the million. I actually like healthy food and like being active. Show me the money!!!!!
Are you kidding i will take million dollar , as bad the ecoonomy will buy aduct tape all my body for sure , and still living the dream ha,ha
cnn rock s

Well, I guess I would take the money. You could be as ugly as a fence post, get remade beautiful, and still have money left. You would have both. I have said this for YEARS. Janice from Rolesville, NC
the money
Really!? a clean million, hands down! After investing the million, you'd have the time to work out and get the perfect body!
I would take the money, you can't pay your bills with the perfect body.
I would take the perfect body, then use it to earn $1,000,000.
I'd take the cash! & shower my beautiful wife with all sorts of gifts even though I'm disabled. Seeing her smile is all the reward I need.
Give me the money so i can pay to get my dream body and then if i change my mind about my look i can change it again and that way ill still have money
Well what do you think? The perfect body of course. The money is just secondary, A perfect body gives you opportunities that can make money. Thnink of all the possibilities!
If you Had the Perfect Body, You Could Model and make more than a million dollars. If you'd had a million dollars it been gone in a week but if you had a perfect body you'd enjoy life more you'll be Perfect!. 🙂
I'm a 58 year old happily married woman, who's had a weight problem her entire life. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
This is an easy one. Give me the million, I'll work out later, while smiling to the bank....
I'll take the money and run!
I would take the Million dollars, then I could afford all the trainers to help me get that wonderful body!! Dianne, E. Tn.
