It’s Rajesh Koothrappali. ---

Raj is the best-looking one. Plus he’s kind of sweet and shy, which is a turn-on. I have a “thing” for Johnny Galecki IRL, but Leonard whines way too much. ---

Sheldon - but mostly out of morbid fascination. None of them really attracts me as a character. ---

Definitely Raj - Sheldon (I think I have it right) would be second, Leonard is third and Wolowitz is dead last - he annoys me to no end! ---

Howard [(Simon Helberg)](http://bigbangtheory.wikia.com/wiki/Simon_Helberg) doesn’t look nearly as nerdy as he does on that show. ---

Am I reading this right that someone actually voted for Howard? That’s not a sympathy vote from his mom, is it? ---

Well, Howard does come with perks… His mom does make one hell of a brisket. ---

You’re all harshing on Howard awfully big for a guy who clearly knows his way around tenth base. ---

None of them! But Sheldon would be fun to play with for a while. ---

Let’s see . . . I like Leonard’s eyebrows, Sheldon’s body, Howard’s nose and Rajesh’s . . . um . . . personality? So . . . if this is to be a one-time hookup, say a one-night stand, then I guess it’s Sheldon. ---
