Would you rather live in The Purge or in One Night Only?

For the purposes of this thought experiment, you're single in both scenarios. I think The Purge makes more sense. You get to purge some undesirables, and maybe you even meet a cute girl while chopping people up with your axe. You strike up a conversation with her and find out you have more things in common. One thing leads to another and a year later you're celebrating your first Purge together. 

In One Night Only, you're just gonna be horny and miserable for a whole year. And then you have to compete with people who look like Callum Turner or Monica Barbaro? Nah. You're going back home to take matters into your own hand.

Purge, I honestly don't think people are gonna go crazy with the killing. Most likely they're just gonna loot stores and do more drugs

I feel like The Purge isnt that bad like you have a normal life for most of the time, with One Night Only i think the whole world would be even more weird and marriage focused and lead to deeper like..society wide issues (saying that i havent seen the movie maybe in that world its chill)

Definitely the sex comedy one. I'd die immediately in a purge.

I'd rather not be chopped up by an axe though. I think my ego can take a hit not being chosen, though.
