I choose Love because I want to die at 60.

Eternal Youth, so I can always do gymnastics, also I would never have to deal with all the pressures of life that adults deal with.

What's the point of love when it's guaranteed? What's the point of youth when you never grow out of it?

Youth is overrated.

I will admit that when I was young (under 18), one of my biggest fantasies was to live forever.

My point is, if I had to choose between love and youth, love would win.

Immortality with an IQ of 3000. I want to be there when the sun swallows the earth 5 billion years from now or wander aimless through the dimensional corridors

I'd choose love, any day. It would be more realistic for me to attain.

love. preferably from Helen of Sparta, or Aphrodite. or both.

why not eternal youth?

There is no frisson possible without the element of
surprise, that is, of ignorance. AS one assimilates all books,
all pictures, all things beautiful, enjoyment increases, but
frisson becomes rare. To be blase is not to be impotent. But
after loving say 1500 women it is unlikely that one will often
discover a `new sensation'. A man may be most potent when he
does find the right woman; which was not so at eighteen, when
the rustle of every skirt produced its full physiological
effect.

also because infinity is really, really, realllllly long. the afterlife scares me.

Wasn't it 12000? Oh well, I guess you just know some smart PE teachers.

I chose eternal youth under the assumption that I cannot die through ordinary means. And in that case, I wouldn't have to worry about people finding out. Imagine the things I could see! The progress of man from his current state to something greater, or worse, or however things turn out. I could see things others of my generation could never even dream of. And since I don't really know what love is, I won't miss it when it's gone.

You know what? when I was posting that, I knew someone would also know that it was 12,000. So my hat is off to you.
