Guys: Which of these do you prefer, and why?

I don't particularly like any of them, in part because I don't know their personalities (except from their expressions), but I chose #4 because she looks like she has this...darkness in her. And I like that. If it were not a drawing she might be attractive.

Hmm.... 1 looks more like relationship material, and like she would be less full of herself than 3, though 3 I would like to have sex with the most. 2 is a cartoon, 4 is a drawing, and 5 is lindsay lohan who is a dirty coke whore.

Wow, #1 seems the most popular by far.

Here's a slightly more accurate representation.

If I had to pick Number 4 but I dont really like any of those and Lindsay lohan needs help.

It's all about the calories. For example, peanut butter is very dense in calories so eating a small amount would still likely have more energy packed in it than say, a huge bowl of lettuce. Technically, you could say that the person who ate the lettuce ate more than the one who ate a tablespoon of PB. In terms of calories, the PB person ate more.

So I think it's safe to assume that those 6' rugby players eat more calorie-dense food compared to the average person, so it only looks like they don't eat a lot and yes, they wouldn't have to eat a lot in terms of volume as that small amount would be packed with enough calories (such as with the PB example).

Also, an active taller person will always burn more calories than an active shorter person even though they're doing the same activity.

As for metabolism, height is a major factor but it doesn't mean it's the only one. Though it only makes sense that the taller you are, the more body mass you have so you'll need more food. It applies both ways, actually -- the heavier out of two people who are the same height would burn off more because of that same principle of body mass.

Other factors are one's eating habits and activity level. Exercising, eating certain food and/or eating frequent small meals can increase metabolism. It varies depending on the person, but all in all, if two people had the exact same eating habits (ex: three squares a day) and activity level (ex: sedentary ) but different heights, the taller person STILL burns off more and would then need more food (well, calories) to maintain compared to the other.

Sorry for the rant, I can get carried away sometimes. Hope that wasn't too confusing though.

Don't say sorry, I like it.

It is to do with body mass, but you have to get to that body mass in the first place. Some people come out of the womb heavy. Others just eat and don't burn it off. Pretty much those that are fed fatty and sugary things from a young age stand a good chance of being addicted to them for life.

One thing that is true is I could eat all the peanut butter I liked and I wouldn't put on weight. I used to scoff calorific things all the time. Calorific things don't actually have great or interesting taste. I think people’s definition of bland is set at a young age, to the extent that it is not inherent. If you try more subtle flavours in things that are good for you and do it enough you notice their taste more. The calorific stuff causes a sensory bias and demands more of the calorific things.

I don't agree with people who say things like, ‘red meat is unhealthy’. We didn't have the same level of calorific crap when were in caves, however we did need calories and protein from meat. Therefore to say meat is unhealthy is as accurate as saying a vegetarian diet is suitable for a caveman. I think they should look at active people who eat red meat and see if they get bowel cancer, etc. I think it is great that we are able to make decisions about our diet in the first place. So I have no problem with that. Red meat is unhealthy if you don't exercise. It is possible to live with minimal physical exercise but the diet is quite different. The reason why we can make those decisions is attributed to the fact that early humans ate bone marrow and brain which is high in protein. This is evidence from excavation based in Kenya and is one of the reasons why we are smart. In mammals there is a trend that grazers and browser's are less smart, those that work a bit for their food are smart, and those that have a high protein diet tend to be smarter (not necessarily predators). Dolphins and whales are very smart, big cats are smart, humans are smart, many primates eat meat occasionally and may be eating more of it. Why did we eat brain and marrow? There were predictors on the African planes just as they are now. It was dangerous to venture out to try and hunt and we were physically smaller then. Meat killed by predators would be picked off by vultures, and other scavengers that would find it easer to get away from predators. The meat would decay in the sun. By night fall there would not be much meat left on the carcass. So our ancestors smash the skull and bones with rocks and eat the high protein goodness that was inside. You wouldn't want to do that now because of prion attack, but it is part of who we are.

Hmm, 4 out of 5 I can't really sort a worthwhile difference and #2, if you had a real woman that was sketched from...nah, still not my type. I'll say none of the above and if I do see a picture of someone online who does seem like my type, I'll be sure to post it just for the heck of it.

i wonder what's the point in dating some badly drawn manga sketch. :x

better than dating nothing perhaps?

badly drawn boy has a wife

#2 and #4 arent real so theyre out. #5 looks like shes about to throw a butchers knife at me. #3 cant put her pants on correctly, so I guess I have to go for #1, although with that look in her eyes I cant rule out the possibility of a sharp object heading my way from her either.

I don't go for cartoon characters or drawings. Celebrities are pretty yuck so that basically leaves #1. She looks real. Those jeans look just great on her, but that facial expression looks a bit sour. I'd want to get to know her a bit before doing anything.
Just my 2 cents.

Come on guys, you can come up with better pictures than that! What about one of Morticia Addams. Shes a hot babe. How about a nice girl showing off her nurturing capabilities by cradling a sick puppy. Thats cool.

And how!

Aww, poor Lindsey, she was cute before she got all cracked out!
