On a simple aryl alkyl terminal alkene, which bonds are more nucleophilic?

Would the double bonds of the aromatic ring be more nucleophic due to shared electron resonance, or would the terminal alkene double bond be more nucleophilic due to extended conjugation of the molecule by electrons from the aromatic ring?

I'm still learning about how various groups direct electrons towards parts of the molecule, but these certain things are unclear.
