The first question:
I liked 2's answer... suspected that 2 was female because women know how women like to be touched.
contestant1 came across confident, which is attractive, and definitely male.
contestant3 won that round because... damn, that was some good writing.
The second question:
contestant2... now I was sure you were female. It was the laugh at my jokes part
I liked the "enticingly" line too.
contestant1, flattery will get you everywhere. That was a really clever answer.
contestant3 won that round because... damn, that was some good writing
"exploring secrets"...
The third question:
contestant 1, I loved the dance metaphor
contestant2, that was a good approach. I don't like when people are intimidated by me so you passed well.
contestant3. That was a fun way of answering. Very different from the first answers. Very masculine and... indulgent at the same time.
The fourth question: (I love stories)
I was hoping to get a snapshot moment of a memory from each of you but you all went the same direction with it, which worked out fine.
contestant1 - very tactile, in the moment.
contestant2 - a nice picture of being comfortable with yourself which makes for good relationships
contestant3 - very nicely written that was pretty close to the snapshot idea I had in mind.
The final question:
I was going to name qualities and have you rank them but I'm glad I left it open.
contestant2. your first choice was bang on. Honesty is most important to me as well. and a sexy bum is a great bonus
contestant1 Adaptability caught me by surprise. I hadn't thought of that and I agree it's a very important thing to be capable of.
contestant3... very idealistic oriented but you found a way to not duplicate what had been said and you explained the choices well.
************
It was a really great game. I've enjoyed not only trying to think of good questions (which is hard) but seeing how you all handled them. Not a single slacker in the bunch. My final choice has to be
contestant3.
I almost gave up on you but you were worth the wait. Whoever you are you sure can write!
