Thursday, I enjoyed your thread and understand the point you were trying to make.

I chose A when I first started reading the thread earlier (before looking at your results.) I guess I chose her because she seemed like the "sex kitten" of the four. Before I read the responses I was also wondering if they were all the same person.

Here's the problem with the study. The quality of the photography affects the desirability of the subject in question. The photos are no longer up, but in two of the photos the graininess of the photo made it difficult to really get a good sense of the subject's attractiveness.

Sorry, this person moved or deleted this image. Having not read the thread I'm gonna pick C for the lulz.

I always pick C if I dont know the answer and I haven't eliminated c.

don't shrug off the picture thing. when a quarter of your OP is clearly and factually incorrect it makes it blows the whole thread's credibility

a good response to such an error is something along the lines of "whoops my bad" rather than "no that's not important"

sorry to be a bit rough on you here, often i agree with what you post. but i feel this thread should go the way of the dodo bird
Haha although I agree with you that she should have her facts right, a certain lady bit my head off if I messed up an internet poll or article she does have a valid point. Which we all know. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

I still don't see what their looks have to do with them marrying serial killers. And no, there's no way I can be fooled into believing B and C are the same person. As someone else pointed out they just have the same name. And didn't most people pick A as most attractive?

FWIW I was the only one that picked "A" last and C and B as 1 and 2.

But as a disclaimer I also mentioned that I would not date anyone on looks alone. I was just playing along...

While that is part of it, there was a stronger point to be made here - something for us to stand back and question while we fret over our looks and material things to be used in garnering a relationship or sustaining a marriage. What is it that we really want?

Can we discern and this an apply this concept to seemingly 'regular' or 'normal' relationships? Have we forgotten how important these intangibles are against the pressure for material things?

While these women can be said to draw tremendous satisfaction from the high profile exposure they get and the fact they deem themselves a 'winner' when up against a number of other women and the validation it brings, there are intangibles at play here worth looking at.
