Nah, of the things pictured I'd go with money and find love the old-fashioned way.
Being Superman is probably the best. Functionally immortal, perfect disguise is just 1 pair of glasses away so you can still find love, hold the world hostage for unlimited money you can move through a swiss bank.
Easy there, Homelander
Sure, you can find true love but but you can never have sex again. No human would be able to survive your orgasms

That's fun for the first million years or so but then get a little boring. Then about about a billion years when the sun starts heating up and effectively scorches and sterilized earth, you better hope humanity has found a different place to live. By the time the universe dies of heatdeath, you will have gone insane from trillions of years of lonelyness
I'm sure if you are superman you can find another planet with intelligent life.
Else, maybe you can terraform some other planet and help humanity move there, you are fu**ing Superman after all
By the time heat death occurs you'll have lived for trillions over trillions over trillions of years (10^1500 earth years if I recall correctly), probably alone because everyone died except you. Them heat death occurs, meaning no more planets, no more stars, not even black holes will be left You'll then spend eternity in a black void with nothing.
Fun times!
No more stars means you would lose super powers and die. Problem solved
Great, so I'd only need to live alone for 10^100 years (iirc) until the last red dwarf fizzles out. Totally not maddening.
Not being able to die sucks very quickly
Not for me, I feel like I would get bored pretty quickly.
Then you fly to mars or any other planet in the universe
Edit: well not any planet, but at least any planet in our galaxy our yellow sun galaxies
Wait a second.... if Superman needs a yellow sun for his powers, and each galaxy is like, reeaalllyyy far away, then wouldn't he run out of sun energy shortly after leaving our galaxy?
I think you're confusing "galaxy" with "solar system", but presumably he could pick another suitable star, accelerate to light speed (or however fast he can go) in that direction, take a nap, and then use the destination star's power to slow down.
Ah. Thank you! Yes, solar system! Much appreciated!
Probably
I mean, assuming that I only have the features of Superman but real world physics still applies, everything is so fucking far away and as far as we can see, there's nothing out there. Like yeah, I could spend a few years observing stuff like black holes, stars etc. from upclose but I generally get bored with repetitive stuff.
Once you have a ton of money how do you separate true love from people who just want to be around you for your money? Look at the personal lives of billionaires. These are highly dysfunctional people.
True love won't solve life's problems either, lol. Dysfunctional people will dysfunction. I say money, so that you can afford therapy.
I mean, I wasn't thinking billionaire level of money. But even if I was, you don't have to disclose you're a billionaire when going on a date.
I feel like professional match makers would be the best way. You get the personalized touch of a real person, and have an intermediary if things go bad.
Depends on the provider. As with all things, some people are just phoning it in, while other people are passionate about their work and want outcomes that reflect well on their abilities.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you've got more money than you really know what to do with, just remember: keep your personal and business finances completely separate, make sure that your financial advisor is a fee-based fiduciary (unless you know what you're getting into), and interview people while remembering that their active employment is an ongoing interview. You can drop a consultant or advisor any time, so don't feel like you owe them loyalty if they aren't delivering what you need.
Good choice finding love the old-fashioned way.
Though I think there are better wishes to make than just money, it's understandable out of the options here.
Love is better than money, of course, but probably not from a wishing well.
@rikudou @Maddie And then you fall in love with someone who only is with you for the money.
Not if you're careful.
