Cold or Furry

I know, everyone of you must have asked him/herself this really important question: if you could choose, what would you rather be, a werewolf or a vamp? It's a really difficult question, I know...
Maybe I should list all the cons and pros, so you can make a really rational decision. So, here we go.

Werewolf:

pro: You get to be a really big wolf
con: You might try to eat your relatives
pro: Depending on what books you read, you might know that as a werewolf you get to be in a pack, which means that there is a lot of bonding going on and the relationships to your fellow werewolves are really deep (so you're very sociable)
con: You might be a little bit bad tempered sometimes, but hey, everyone had his moods...
pro: You are really hard to kill
con: For some reason people think that being a werewolf makes you a good target for major killing
pro: You can change from animal to human (again depending on the book or movie, your ability to change depends on moon cycles and stuff like that)


Vampire:

pro: You're really strong (like bench-press-a-car strong)
con: You need to drink blood (now, I'm not a great fan of the metallic taste, but I suppose that changes when one becomes a vamp)
pro: You get to b really cool
con/pro: You need to stay out of sunlight
pro: You're really hard to kill
con: Getting dinner is always connected to stalking and hunting
pro: You don't age
con: You can't eat chocolate ice cream anymore
pro: Somehow vampires always get to have a lot of sex
con: People try to kill you
pro: Easy to accessorize nowadays
con: Fetish fashion is so out
pro: Ever seen a fat vamp? Whatever they were before, they always turn into Calvin Klein underwear models


Now let’s compare: A vamp is a corpse walking around, whereas the werewolf is a hot headed person who changes into a wolf once in a while. While the vampire has to stay out of sunlight, he can control his urges a bit better than a werewolf. Werewolves have a pulse and can reproduce themselves. They are both able to do all that nifty telepathic stuff. There’s a lot more I could mention here, but I’m tired and…well, that’s all actually.

So there you go. If you ever need to make that decision, I hope this helps you.
