Be attractive, but get punched in the face every morning

Being attractive opens social and professional doors that make tolerating a daily discomfort worthwhile.
The trade-off is no different from a painful beauty routine — a known, regular cost for a maintained benefit.
The question leaves the punch's intensity unspecified, so the daily cost might be quite manageable.

Be ugly

Daily blows to the head cause cumulative physical damage — no social benefit justifies long-term neurological harm.
Repeated facial trauma would eventually cause visible bruising and disfigurement, defeating the premise.
Being unattractive means relationships are built on genuine connection rather than surface appearance.
Waking up without physical pain every morning is a basic quality of life that attractiveness cannot replace.
