I would choose bliss because you will be always happy while your beauty will not allow you to be always happy. Sucess breeds contempt, but the eternal bliss will stop any backlash while with beauty others could become jealous of you and create problems.

Eternal beauty.
Eternal bliss is unconditional happiness, so even if there is something wrong I would be happy? That is lying to myself and living in denial of the real world. Eg. a coma patient might say he was in "eternal bliss", but I don't want to be in a coma regardless.
And because I don't want to walk away from this choice with nothing, I'll take eternal beauty even though I'm not sure why beauty after I die would be useful to anyone.

Eternal Bliss...our daughter , who is 24 years old, has had the problem all her life of being so beautiful...she is slim and a natural blond. She has guys coming onto her all the time, some younger than her, some the same age, and even elderly men. She is now married and has a child of her own...she still has guys coming onto her. I even thought about this myself [years ago]...if there is any such thing as reincarnation, I would not like to be born as beautiful as my daughter or as beautiful as other women who are just like her. I've even had compliments about My looks...I'm married and one guy made a pass at me while I was sitting on my couch as my husband was only a few feet away making dinner for us. I have not spoken to this pervert since. That really sickens me. Certainly, I don't want to be very very very ugly, but I would accept being plain looking [maybe a little bit ugly] and as I said, I would chose eternal bliss.

Well that's easy. I already have eternal beauty.
Just Kidding!
I'd choose bliss, because I've not found happiness in beauty, and as long as its not ignorant, bliss is a form of happiness that is superior to beauty.

Neither. I like my freedom, I wouldn't be able to just choose between two extremes, and miss out on all the shades of Grey. If I really had no option, I would go with beauty, because my mind will be intact, unlike if I chose bliss and just ended up on one big "high" that was essentially pointless and selfish. At least with beauty, others can appreciate it as well.

eternal bliss is my choice. Both beauty and bliss lies in the eye of the beholder. Both are subjective but beauty is meant to fade as there is no perfection in life

Neither. I would choose eternal health. I don't want to be beautiful or in a perpetual state of bliss. What I would like is to be healthy.

I'd choose eternal bliss. If I'm happy others will see my eternal beauty!

Bliss.
If you're happy, why would you need to be pretty?
Nevertheless, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. What if whoever/whatever gave me this 'eternal beauty' thought donkey's are what beauty is... and turned me into a donkey for the rest of my life?

Bliss beacuse to me that automatically means all the other good things are in place, and if they're not I probably won't care about it because I'm eternally blissful!
