> [@racepug](#): > > Man - rough crowd! I take it this means that if we were all to find ourselves together with her in a room and she was looking for a companion that I wouldn’t have much competition from any of you, is that right? ) Correct. She looks like a plastic woman to me. Sort of an artificial construct. Perhaps she’s intelligent and nice, but I would likely be bored very quickly with someone who spends that amount of time making herself look entirely built from long-chain hydrocarbons. I’m talking real-life of course, not a porn fantasy situation. ---

I’d certainly gawk if I met her in person, but I still prefer Kate Upton: [http://thedenimdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Kate-Upton-for-Sports-Illustrated-Swimsuit-Edition-2014b-660x994.jpg](http://thedenimdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Kate-Upton-for-Sports-Illustrated-Swimsuit-Edition-2014b-660x994.jpg) My gold standard for feminine beauty, however, remains (no surprise to many Dopers) Keira Knightley: [http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsK/30803-26902.jpg](http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsK/30803-26902.jpg) ---

I long ago worked out that 95% of the physical attractiveness of a woman is found above the neck. The face, the face, the face. Sure, the means of transportation can be varied, but the incessant focus on individual bodyparts (‘Who has The Best Legs In TV?’ etc) just doesn’t do it for me. ---

The woman in the OP looks like she wouldn’t give me the time of day. Although neither of them is my “type”, I prefer Kate. > [@](#): > > My gold standard for feminine beauty, however, remains (no surprise to many Dopers) Keira Knightley: [http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsK/30803-26902.jpg](http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsK/30803-26902.jpg) Huzzah! You and me both, pal. Most beautiful woman in the world. I remember one of my few “seething with rage” moments came a few years ago when I spotted her on the cover of _Vogue_. Except I wouldn’t have known it was her had her name not been on the cover, because they had airbrushed/Photoshopped out every. damn. thing. that is unique about her face. They made her look just like every other woman who has appeared on the cover. :mad: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-kate-upton/717972.md?page=1)
