God, we may be reaching some sort of eutopia....women aren't defining their value based upon what they look like. We'd rather be rich than hot:

If American women could choose between having Jennifer Aniston's bikini body or a million dollars, three out of four would take the money and run.
That's one of the eye-opening findings of an online poll by Woman's Day magazine and AOL Body that asked 6,905 women questions about their body-image and health-care concerns.

Fifty-seven percent said they considered themselves overweight, 30 percent admitted feeling "uncomfortable and ashamed" about their bodies, and 37 percent said their fondest wish was "to be thinner."

But gaining a fat bank account trumps all of those weighty feelings, according to the magazine's Feb. 12 issue, which hits newsstands tomorrow.

It asked its readers: "If you could choose, would you rather have Jennifer Aniston's physique or be a millionaire?"

"I'd rather have the money," declared 78 percent of the respondents, while the other 22 percent said they'd like to "look like Jennifer."

Money lasts a hell of a lot longer! Just too bad they didn't ask if they'd rather be smarter, or more successful, or have more friends, or something actually worth really wanting.
