Quiz: How Many People Fall In Love With You?
We haven't had one of these in a while! And I figured, "Hay, wai nott?" [In that spelling, even!]
Really, now? I wish that more than 0 out of 10 guys would come up to me and say it, then.

Re: Quiz: How Many People Fall In Love With You?
...bull.
Now how do I find out how many guys fall in love with me? 
Have you ever noticed that the html they hand out never works anywhere?

8 out of 10 Guys Fall in Love with You.
But, but... Why so many?! I only need one. And that one would be a girl!

Six out of ten.
So...what do I win for being the most unappealing person thus far? 
(I don't go out much, thus men never fall in love with me. True enough, I suppose...)
Edit: My sex appeal is also six out of ten.
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: Quiz: How Many People Fall In Love With You?
I can't resist these silly tests most of the time...
I got 6 out of 10.
Considering that exactly zero girls have ever shown that kind of interest in me in my entire life (to my knowledge), I don't place much confidence in this result. And I'm 29. 
Either that, or I am far too dense to know if someone has a crush on me, which is also very likely.
But then again, I'm not very outgoing in the company of strangers, and I hardly ever go out, so that right there eliminates opportunities to meet people. And I'm okay with that.

You're not alone. I got the same answer. (Do you think that saying that love is stupid counted for or against me?)
I'll also jump on the bandwagon of saying that I don't need six guys to fall in love with me, but just one girl. Having that many guys be in love with me would just be a nuisance, especially if they were all in love with me at the same time.

By having a cast of crossdressing girls to trick the audience into believing that it's a reverse-harem anime, were in reality it's just a good ol' fashion lesbian harem.

Interesting... I'm not sure I buy it though. It's okay there's only one grrl that needs to be in love me anyway.

Yeah... cute survey, but I don't think very accurate.

8/10 for me. Very inaccurate for me too. I've never had any luck whatsoever. I think that (and hope that) it'll at least be 1/10.

Wow, IBB, that describes me perfectly. I also got the same score (6 out of 10).
I find it interesting that the initial choice is "good-looking" OR "caring." Obviously, you can't be both at once, right?

I don't need to take the test to know this answer.
Any guy who spends more than half an hour talking to me falls in love with me. And invariably, I do not fall for him.

Eight out of ten, but what about the guys? They're more confusing because I can't just up and ask them for fear of social awkwardness.

7 out of 10. Why would 7 guys fall in love with me when I answered that I'm home all the time?

Re: Quiz: How Many People Fall In Love With You?
Because we Utena fans have an instant animalistic appeal. Men and women alike cannot help but to succumb to our sheer aura of awesome sexuality. And after ensnaring our prey, we convert them to our fandom, then they come to populate IRG as cannon fodder.
It's a simple yet elegant theory.

I'd totally buy that.

I'd buy that too, though I fear there may be an alarming bullshit to truth ratio.
