If your life was the exact opposite of what it is now, would it be better or worse?

Considering that almost nothing in life is a binary (and therefore doesn't have an "opposite"), this is a really dumb question.
 
If I had followed the George Costanza method throughout high school and college, I think my life would be drastically different. Different college, different job, different girls.

If this post was opposite, it wouldn't be stupid :P

I'm just saying. Opposites and differences are by nature relative, so applying it as an absolute would lead to some kind of broken freak world where everything is contradictory.

I would have a small penis, so not awesome!

not really, for example,my penis is a little shorter than 6 feet so if that were reversed, then it would be a little longer than 6ft.
 
My life isn't exactly picture perfect, but I know that things could have been far worse. I also believe that life would be a lot more boring and predictable if everything happened the way you wanted them to. I'm happy with the way things are, so I'm going to have to say worse.
 
I'd be poor, dumb, unsuccessful, ugly, fat and religious. No thanks.

I am where I am because of the choices I made in life. It may not be perfect but it's my life and this is how I made it be.

Though it might be neat being a lesbian
 
I'm not sure what the parameters of "opposite" would be. A straight, woman, married, rich, something, something, extremely happy person. I'm not sure...

Edit: Plus, religious and overweight, as the person above stated.


No thanks, that doesn't sound realistic.
 
It would be so much better.

No sex -> so much sex
No hair -> full head of hair
Being surrounded by brainwashed fundie Christians -> Being surrounded by freethinking individuals
Chubby -> Ripped as fuck
Shitty broken down Ford Taurus -> BMW m3 coupe convertible
Hardly any money. Having no job/working odd jobs -> Tons of money. Great Career.

I shall make this a reality one day! >:O

Exactly, I can't even begin to make sense of this question in any serious way.

It is interesting that anybody would find it easy to say that there life would either be better or worse, though. They must have a strong notion of how good their life is and how good it ought to be.
 
This is about "life" so excluding death is a given, right? In my case it would be terrible but maybe my other self would love it...who knows. I'd be a guy in a suit who likes all that new indie dancepop music, postrock and stuff and has only false friends or no friends at all.
I also would be a misantrop and secretly hate everyone, life and everything.
 
Let's see... I'm a handsome and fit Spanish male doing what he's ever wanted, and with a nice family, gf and enough friends. If it were the complete opposite it would be something like..

An ugly fat Australian woman (or just an Australian, whatever) doing something she hated, with a horrible family, no friends and single.

Yeah, doesn't sound too hot.
 
It would be... interesting. I think I'd enjoy it more. Also, I might die pretty soon. But, I might not care.
 
I'd be unemployed, insanely rich, and married.

But then I wouldn't like videogames, and worst of all, would enjoy sports.

unggggggh no thanks
 
Let me see:

Would love sports: +
Would generally be curious about everything: +
Would have a girlfriend: +
Would suck ass at languages: -
Would know what I want to do/have clear goals in life: +
Would be old: -

Can't think of any other major aspect right now. I guess my life would be better? I don't know, hard to tell.
 
Much worse.

I just got a job at an awesome career level position (definitely not underemployed in this recession). This is after 2 years of job searching and going to grad school because the industry in which I got my bachelor's is in the tank. :D
 
Tough question tbh. On one hand, I'd have a job, a gf/wife & lots of friends. But I probably wouldn't have the freedom I have now as an unemployed slacker with more money than I've ever seen :lol It's kinda bizarro world over here when it's pretty much preferred to not have a job, money-wise O_o In the end though, I guess I would rather pick loved & poor instead the opposite...

So, better :'(
 
I guess I would be a very relaxed, very religious, non-drinking, heavy smoking, videogame and sci-fi hating, emotional, talkative, morbidly obese black woman with no job, an incredible sex life and a huge vagina. So......I don't know, too close to call.
