Please make an estimate. For "random persons" you can think of people you know, or people you see on the street.
I'll clarify it later, this is actually quite interesting  |

I said in the poll "or same sex if that's your preference". Sure I could've included even more clauses, but then the question becomes too long  |

| I wanted to get some data first before explaining the whole thing (cos that may influence the voting). |

Ugh, not another psychology examination. Please tell me this one will be less nonsense than "what is this?" drawings. Sufficed to say, if there is room for a literal interpretation and the people utterly ignore it, one has to question whether they're sane or prefer to live in a fantasy.
----EDIT----
Judging by the poll, there is a serious lack of women on this forum. O.o |

| Yep they are that! us guys it would seem are behaving as programmed and willing to park the car in any garage. I suspect from the question that we don't see it as a date but as an opportunity to practice the noble art of reproductive research. |

| If you notice, there's also one guy that's similarly "picky". |

| Exactly, women are said to be much more picky then men. This can be explained from evolution, but until we get more female voters it'll be difficult to say much for sure. Well I can repeat the poll at a forum I think attracts more girls (but keep it between us, I don't want to share them! ) |

Yeah, womens "picky" attitudes don't work for voting. They end up just as stupid as men with politics (if not more). They're only picky with mating habits, whereas men are less inclind to be. This is definitely not to say men aren't as picky as women, but women have an evolutionary advantage.
----ON A RELATED NOTE----
It generally pisses me off with how illogic people can be to place one sex above the other. Frankly, evolution has things balanced. After a few billion years I think things are a tad even according to the roles of how prior "primitive" living went.
Hell, even religions are based upon more "primitive" lifestyles, where men are the "protectors" or "providers" and such. Evolution, however, doesn't mean women are incapable of what men did, and visa versa. |

True. Men can equally well distinguish between 'top beauty' and normal attractiveness (the 1/10 and ~6/10 or so), but we don't seem to conclude that only 'top beauty' is good enough. Same perception, different outcome. |

| It's a pity we don't get more response at this poll, although it may be a difficult question to answer (hard to estimate). |
