Well, if I have to explain it, you shouldn’t be voting.

Maryann looks better and can bake a mean pie.

Why is this even a contest? Girl next door will a killer body all the way.

Here is why. Love of Snorg girl. Not a bombshell, but lots of guys prefer the Maryann’s over the Gingers of the world:

> **[I'm hopelessly, madly in love with this Snorg Girl](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=601729)**
>
> This redhead here. Or here. Or here. Sigh…here as well. If you like a different Snorg Girl, well, you’d be wrong. But go ahead and state your case if you must.

Cute brunette for the win, Maryann by a mile. But hey Ginger was the second best looking woman on the Island. Also Bailey over Jennifer. But oddly Betty over Veronica.

Oh and Audrey Hepburn over all others.

Maryann was easier to relate to, more innocent, and not trying too hard.

And she looked damned tasty in those shorts.

Another plus for Mary Ann is that she might have some good smoke.

Yeah, but too bad she was banging the professor the whole time.

I mean, we all know she was, right?

Right?

Crap. I pushed the wrong button. I meant Mary-Ann, of course. Just goes to show that I can’t think straight around attractive women.

Ginger. Ginger Ginger Ginger. Give me the vamp, the bombshell, the sex symbol, the dangerous, voracious, mercurial, well, think Elizabeth Taylor fer instance. Them’s are the girls for me. Girls next door, not so much.

My sexual aesthetic has been informed entirely by Ginger, the Bond girls and 70s Penthouse magazine.

I am SO LONELY
