是要智慧还是身材？是选择财富还是外表？
一项于本周二公布的民调显示，女性对自身形象问题仍然持一种复杂而矛盾的心态。25%的受访者称，与获得诺贝尔和平奖相比，她们更希望在“全美超模大赛”中获胜。
尽管75%的受访女性称，如果能够挽救一个陌生人的生命，她们愿意剃光头，而超过四分之一的人坦称如果能让她们自己变苗条，她们会让最好的朋友变胖。
在找对象是看重财富还是外表这一由来已久的问题上，18岁至24岁的受访女性中有一半的人称她们愿意嫁给一个相貌丑陋的男子，如果他是百万富翁。
这项针对年轻女性的调查由美国Oxygen电视台委托开展。调查还发现，在18岁至34岁的女性中，有88%的人表示愿为保持一段友情而放弃手机、珠宝和化妆品。
