I'm amazed at how many responders also felt that (going solely by looks) #2 was the prettiest. (I also think that #7 and #6 were pretty close seconds, in that order.) But, as some pointed out, beauty is more complex than mere looks. For me, personality is the most important facet of a person's beauty. After that are various other things, and physical attractiveness is at the bottom of the list. In fact, although I'm extremely fussy, the women I have found attractive enough to propose to all look very different from each other. Three key features they all have in common are: a pleasant personality, "nerd-level" intelligence, and appreciation of the fine arts. It's possible that having these features may almost be sufficient for me to find a woman physically attractive as well. I've heard some people denounce those who find personality more important than looks, saying that such people feel this way because they themselves are unattractive. I've also noticed that these unkind critics are singularly unattractive to me, both physically and otherwise. However, I find most "supermodel" types to be rather "generic" in appearance (to the point where they look alike to me and could vanish in a crowd to my eye), so maybe the unkind critics fit the criteria for "mass-market pretty." Or maybe not... which might explain their need to misinterpret the feelings of those who value personality over looks. In all honesty, I can't tell by looking. But I do feel that the true "ugly that goes to the bone" is a bad personality, and not a physical attribute. Wow!

I think the main thing we've learned here is that either women are poor judges of how attractive their friends are compared to themselves, or that when you ask them to show you their prettiest friend, they lie. Number 2 was the prettiest.

Nr 12 could very well be the prettiest in real life. On film I go for nr 2 also.

They're always so entertaining and interesting. As for this, gotta echo whate everyone else said and say the 2nd girl was the prettiest. I think the last girl was pretty as well though. We went to Italy last year, and let me tell you, alot of the women there put all of the girls in that video to SHAME. They're VERY fashion conscious over there and put together very well. Makes us US gals look like total slobs. I could care less though. I happily walked around in my t-shirt and jeans. The one negative though is that it seemed like alot of the Italians that we encountered had a very snotty attitude. I know they're not all like that, but I guess we just had very bad luck :P I wish I knew japanese and had access to all of their crazy shows. They’re always so entertaining and interesting.
