Which Would You Rather Do?

June 6, 2007

I recently read an article in the United Press International explaining that a recent poll found that most women would prefer to visit the dentist, or even walk on hot coals (can't help but think of Pam from "The Office"), rather than prancing around in their bathing suits. Personally, I was a little shocked so I am curious which you guys would rather do...

Half the battle is a good bathing suit.

It's all relative. I LOVE just spending the whole day lounging in a bathing suit when I'm with family, friends and people who I know ae not judging me.

I'll take the bathing suit any day, any place. It's not my favorite type of outfit but there are worse things in life than wearing one, such as going to the dentist...

I haven't found the right swimsuit. Dentist sounded like a good option.

I've worked hard to get the body that I've got and like to show it off.

Dentist, then hot coals. I am DREADING my cruise in two weeks because of the bathing suit factor. It depresses me just thinking about it, and I will be miserable while not in regular clothes.

the dentist for sure. of course, i have a great dentist, so it wouldn't be that bad.

even though i don't like going to the dentist, this was a no-brainer...no walking on hot coals or bathing suit in public for me :P

Hmmm well I love the dentist and would go daily if I could, so that was an easy choice. But beyond that I just might choose hot coals over a bikini. It's like prancing in your undies in front of strangers!

You go Lala!! We should be proud of how we look!! I pick the swimsuit and I'll wear it anywhere. Go on, dare me.

coals never. i go to the dentist because i want my teeth to stay healthy. i have no problem wearing my swim suit in public. i think i look rather hot in it, actually.

oh wait I think I misunderstood... I'd wear it in public if everyone else was, like at the beach, boardwalk, pool or whatever. But not like just out at the mall. I thought that was what it was asking LOL haha silly me.

I'd rather go to the dentist... but that's just because I really enjoy the dentist. Mine is fabulous (I have been seeing him since I was 5!) and I think it is so relaxing to just lay back in the chair and have an hour to yourself.
