Well, ladies? ---

The bald guy, if he’s naturally bald, not just shaving his head. ---

Are you asking which of the Star Trek captains women find most attractive? ---

… and if so, why do you think Archer’s that tall? And why does Captain Garrett not get a listing (we have a fair number of Doper ladies who’d be willing to switch-hit, after all). ---

> [@Just1Lurk](#): > > Are you asking which of the Star Trek captains women find most attractive? Kirk, Archer, and Janeway don’t fit any of the descriptors, and Sisko qualifies on three of them. So the answer is obviously Picard, the only captain who could fairly be described by exactly one of those. Beyond that, I’m not a lady, and I don’t understand the question either. ---

I’d go for the bald guy. I love to listen to him talk. The black guy is cute, but he’s second only to the fat guy when it comes to overacting. Yep, you should have included Janeway. Even though I couldn’t stand her. ---

Starship captains? I was wondering if anyone would catch on, but I didn’t expect things to go down this route. ---

I know some ladies whose response would be: “All four together in one if you’re referring to the captain’s plank.” ---

If you’re refering to “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” I got such a thing for the black guy. ---

Definitely the tall guy. He has great shoes. ---

I also am partial to the bald guy, though the black guy is devastatingly talented and the tall guy is pretty good too. ---

Probably the tall guy, and maybe the fat guy, but definitely [the Buddy Holly guy](http://imdb.com/name/nm0698681/). ---
