    always knowing what to say. i mean, you will never get dumped by girls. You can always give a correect answer to pretty much anything.
    So, wouldnt always knowing what to say be similar to knowing everything

    The funny thing is that if you were ever caught flying, you wouldn't know what to say. Shame you can't have both.

    Why don't you just make a 'Which superpower would you have?' poll, instead of having a choice between two each week or so?

    imo this way's more interesting, especially if the two are completely unrelated

    As previously, while flying IS damn cool, the latter is just much more practical in Real

    #1 Of course. Flying wouldn't be a very good power in the world we live in IMO. Sooner or later you would get spotted in the act and gain unwanted attention. You'd end up under a scalpel, or behind locked doors.

    I wouldn't need the first power as I already have it.
    It's pretty simple: when you don't know, you just say "I don't know", or put "eventually", "possibly" etc a bit everywhere in your sentences and that's it.
    And getting dumped by dumb people is not a bad thing, it helps you find the right person with whom to spend your time.

    Levitation and flying are not exactly the same thing, but I admit I would much more enjoy this one, even if it might be cold in air most of the time tough...

    The first one's more than that. If the cops pulled you over, you'd have the perfect thing to say. If there's an awkward moment in any conversation, you'd know the perfect thing to say. Even if you were just talking with your mates, you'd have so much more fun, as you'd always have the perfect thing to say. And it's not that you'd never get dumped, per se, but more that you'd never have a really bad breakup. You'd always leave on the front foot. If there was a problem with your job, you'd know what to say. If you were caught doing something you shouldn't, there you go again. Whenever you're proven wrong, assuming you still could be, you'd still have the perfect thing to say.

    Now when would you ever be able to levitate or fly? :p I won't even get started on the wind chill factor.

    An out of shape person like me would love to move like that.

    @ItzaHexGor: Just get the powers of Apocalypse, cheapest set of power of them all. He can do anything, how boring.

    Option too fly of course.

    Knowing what to say would be nice, but you won't make any friends for being right all the time. People hate perfection; they love to try to get to it. Being stupid like me provides much more challenges to life.

    Flying would be awesome, like Jissé said, get a good coat. Get some full face helmet. Weekends can be anywhere you want on the planet.. Awesome

    Change the choices Teleportation or Flight

    Thrill of flying freely, or instant displacement.

    I think you misunderstand. You would not always say something "perfect", but what's best for the situation. So, if your friends don't like perfection, you'd say the best thing possible without sounding "perfect".

    Would it lie ? Keeping a relationship with a woman would be hard then. Lying all the time because the real answer is not the one she wants ;)

    Women always put you in the situation were all options are bad ;) That's stronger than any super power. Something that cannot be beaten, even by gravity.
