Nothing beats the ease of being a hot female.

Diablo, I don't think any of those things you listed lead to the great life. I don't have much experience in being a hot chick, but #3 and especially #1 are usually shortcuts to an easy but boring and meaningless life. A lot of the guys i know who are born into riches are constantly depressed bitching without end about how bored they are and nothing they do matters and trying to find new purposes in life for themselves and failing miserably. At the same time people who have made themselves tend to be way more happy. Life's way too boring without fight for survival man.
