Hot Captcha Guys...Impossible! (sfw) →[More:]I've been trying for about 20 minutes, and I've never been able to pick out the three hot guys. It's SO much easier to see who they're going for if you do the women's pics - there are usually three hotties and the rest look like...normal people. But on the guy side, everyone looks like normal people, and I can't figure out who the hotties are. Or maybe I just have really crappy taste in guys. Can anyone guess the three hotties right off the bat without any retakes? You can refresh for new faces.

You're right. I tried with guys and flunked 10 times in a row, but got the women right off the bat.

And I thought I had taste in guys. . .*sigh*

I'm never good at those. I failed at men and women.

I aced the men and the women on the first try. I am far too superficial.

I'm getting worn out on hotness as a concept.

Up with Cold!

I disagree with the "hot" choices on the female side.

I only tried the men, and failed 10 out of 10 tries. (I also only saw one guy I'd consider a hottie out of all those pics.)

maybe if they had MEN in the 'men' pile, not thirteen-year-old boys...

Everybody disagrees with the 'hot' choices on the female side. But at least they're predictable, y'know? You just discard anyone who is visibly a member of a subculture group, then pick the youngest, skinniest girl with the most visible skin. But with the males, that strategy doesn't seem to work, and I've yet to come up with a better one.

Frustrating, even aside from the symptom-of-broad-based-societal-sexism part.

I don't know whether to be happy that my heterosexuality is being validated (at least based on the standards of the men who made this), or ashamed that I apparently have no idea what women want (or what the men who made this think women want).

I hate this. I know it's probably tongue-in-cheek, but I still hate it.

Wow, gross.
I got it easily, for girls and guys.
The guys are the exact male equivalent of the girls.
It's easy if you think of it this way:
Which guys would you see going out with those trashy girls? Think of them together in a souped-up Honda Civic. Then it makes sense.

Ah, so I should have picked the guy throwing "the shocker" after all.

I sort of love that it won't let me switch to men.

I'm doomed. I would pick the obvious geeks every time.

(The sad thing about it is that since I'm plump and wear glasses, I know that if they got a hold of my picture I'd be in the not-hot category. Oh well, at least the robots would pick me.)
