What would you do if the trolley problem was used to decide who you would start a relationship with (an attractive stranger or a good friend)?

The trolley problem, a difficult choice or an easy decision?

The trolley problem is a very difficult and sometimes daunting thing to think about but I'm curious to see what people think when it's looked at on the basis of starting a relationship based on being friends with someone for a really long time (5 years or more) or going for someone based solely on material things (looks, money, job, status etc.) especially with this thing known as the "friend-zone", does this change or impact the decision someone makes if the trolley problem is considered.

So if you had control of changing the direction of the track, who would you choose to save, your friend who you have known for years and know everything about or the attractive person who you have absolutely no idea about but want to date because you find them attractive. The person you choose to save is the person you will start a relationship with (in turn proving who you actually care the most about). There is no in-between choice, just one decision.

P. S. This is a legit question. I know it's something people might not want to think about but I want to gauge what peoples choices will be based on putting yourself in a difficult decision such as the trolley problem. Make your responses in the poll below!

I'd choose the person who looks attractive who I don't know about, don't care about my friend I've known for ages

I'd choose my friend, I've known them for ages and would do anything for them
