You’ve got my attention

I give you permission to use a chunk of my attention.
However, you must choose between two options:

Option #1:

Which of the two do you think has a better chance of intriguing me?
Which one is more likely to get me to engage in a conversation?
Which one will stick with me for longer?

What would you pick?
