Top 5 things men want

Hiya fellas,

The women have a thread and I felt left out. Women have all the damn fun. So here's my magical gumdrop fantasy thread. I don't need ten things though and neither do you guys because you're all men like me. Most of what we want is solved by having enough money. I only need five and reading long lists is boring. We can be efficient and concise with five! Let's make this interesting and not things like 'a new surfboard'. It can be anything so use your imagination a little. Off the top of my head, although I reserve the right to change at any time, I want these things.

1. The ability to be irresistibly attractive and infatuating to any girl I want.

2. A ridiculously absurd amount of money: $100,000,000,000. It'd be nice if I had earned it with my own successful business but it's not necessary. (You could say unlimited but then you'd just be the federal reserve and we all know what that causes)

3. Super powers like Dr. Manhattan or some other near-omnipotent being; especially with a six pack.

4. To have super human intelligence and cognitive ability.

5. For all governments to be renounced and dismantled permanently.

If I had to pick just one. I'd pick number one.

This is why men don't get the spotlight! So damn predictable! xD

Over four? Man, priorities. XD

1. To expand the boundaries of current human knowledge and understanding
2. Any sort of power that will enable me to extinguish organized crime
3. Food, water and shelter for everyone on Earth
4. Space surfing
5. PlusEnergy house

Super human intelligence would be pointless and lonely without a harem of female companions. :D

But you could totally trick girls into bed with you if you had superhuman intelligence.

There'd be no challenge the other way! :P They'd just come.. how boring..

For me, personally

1. To be a better writer, procrastinating less and writing more.
2. To procrastinate less in everything else.
3. To be better at learning things that I want to learn, in order to understand the world and increase my understanding.
4. To be less socially awkward yet retain the advantages of introspection and introversion.
5. To be healthier in both body and mind, to stop doing things which are harmful to me mentally or physically.

For the world -

1. For people to realise that this life may be all we have, and to live this life instead of dreaming it away thinking of a possible next that may never come.
2. For people to realise that money is worthless bits of paper and metal, and for communities to work together to improve the lives of all.
3. For people to reject the gender roles, societal expectations and stereotypes that are projected onto everyone, and for everyone to be who they are rather than cram themselves into a box society made for them.
4. The power of the pharmaceutical companies to be removed, so that people get the drugs they need whether they can afford them or not. Noone should be dying just because they can't give a drop of water to someone who has an ocean of water already.
5. For society to stop obsessing about celebrities and to start thinking about things that truly matter, such as the health of the community, the education of the community, the well-being of the community.

Potential communist detected. Money has given you all the material wealth around you which is only made possible by indirect exchange markets which cannot exist without the economic calculation power of money. Although, pharmaceutical companies thrive on ridiculous anti-human patent laws and can charge ridiculous prices. That should be removed so that competition can drive down the prices.

I'm an anarchist, although I consider myself to be a communist anarchist. I wouldn't have supported the USSR, and I don't support China etc.
