So, why is it assumed that because the standard romulan military hair cut looks like shit it's an immutable feature or the race? Could be they have some kick ass hair cuts back on the home world.
And if I had to go wit one of the choices give, I'll take the forehead of doom, though I would rather go all out with a borg eye laser thing. total bad ass

This thread is about Klingons, Romulans, and Ferengi, not about your Netflix queue, Jazz.

I change my answer. I give up the Romulan hair and I take the Klingon forehead...so I can headbutt Jazz.

Interesting conundrum. On the one hand, while the haircut is permanent, no mention was made of plastic surgery to correct the Klingon/Ferengi deformities, so I must assume that this is allowed. However, if these disfigurements are widespread among the population, the Romulan haircut might become fashionable. This would mean choosing it would save you a lot of time,effort, and money on haircare. While a ridged forehead would be useful for headbutting, I can't imagine that behavior would become socially acceptable, so that's of dubious usefulness. But big ears would improve your hearing, and there's no harm in having one more erogenous zone.
Overall, I think the ears are the best choice.

The physical appearance question isn't as interesting as "which species/society in Star Trek would you want to be a member of?" I'd absolutely love to visit Vulcan and learn their various cultural aspects and practices. The fact that an atheistic, logical, and essentially emotionless society holds so firmly to it's rich cultural heritage is absolutely fascinating. |

I would probably pick Romulan as the lesser of the 3 evils
However I do feel it's necessary to point out that not all Romulan women have that haircut - take the commander who tried to seduce Spock to defect to the Romulan Star Empire

I googled images of all 3.
I'm sure the ferengi thing is just the sweetest thing to ever walk the planet Earth, but man does it look nasty! I was looking at the klingon images with a toddler on my lap, when she pointed to this one and said "It's Mama! It's baby's mama!" So I guess I'll go with this one.

This. Klingons with Self Control. If I had a choice of cultured evil and barbarian savagery, I'll take evil. If not, well, of the three, Klingon for me.
