>>Hmmm.  Using this criteria, let me objectively ^_^ rate the four contenders
>>as to which one would appeal more to Ranma.  Using a scale of 0 to 3:
>>Ukyo: Definitely nice, cute, and sexy.  A perfect three!
>NO.  Ukyo was a cross-dresser for many years (Girls that dress as as guys
>can be consider crossdessers)  Maybe a 2 1/19 at most.
[...]
>>Akane: Absolutely cute (1), sexy in her own way (1/2), needs to work on her
>>temper (1/2).  Akane gets a 2.  [If she grew her hair back, I'd give her a
>>2 1/2.]
>I think Akane looks almost nice with short hair (same as when she had long
>hair).   Give her at least a 2 1/3, maybe a 2 1/2.

I think you need to get out more: in my view, "butch" looking women have
their own charm. Anyway, both Ukyo or Akane do have their feminine and sexy
characteristics, they just have a few traits that aren't the perfect model
of Japanese femininity.

Also remember we're rating "which one would appeal more to Ranma": if Ranma
wanted the "perfect" wife, he should have gone after Kasumi at the start. ;)

There is the interesting question of what, say Akane and Ranma might be
like together if she could ever stop calling him a pervert and he could
stop calling her unsexy... They really won't have much excuse for that once
they are married (though as one fanfic suggested, they might fight, then
kiss and make up, a lot.)

>>Kodachi: Has some sex appeal, but should be avoided.  Very dangerous.   She
>>gets a minus 1 :-)
>-1???? No way! Kodachi should at least get a 4.  I mean she's fairly nice
>(if she's NOT trying to kill you.) and well, she is kinda cute (lots more
>cute than SHAMPOO and a little more than Ukyo)

If Kodachi isn't trying to kill someone, she's usually trying to drug them
and have her way with them: which, unfortutately for those with kinky
desires, seems to include a lot of gloating, but not sex...

Wouldn't interest me, doesn't turn on Ranma either.

>>There.  I think if Ukyo just started whapping Ranma some more with that
>>spatula, he'd have found his ideal mate!
>
>But, don't ya think Ranma (girl-type, of course) and Kuno would make a
>nicer couple? Any one would be better than Ranma and Ukyo.

Kuno has very little appeal to Ranma (either type).

Ranma and Ukyo more in common, but their early friendship makes it hard for
Ranma to see Ukyo as a romantic interest. But I think they could be a nice
couple under different circumstances.

Here's a question for all you enthusiasts of various would-be-spouses: If
Ranma and person X got married, what would the wedding be like?
