Did anyone see the Esquire issue (I think it's the latest one) in which there was that survey about what women really (allegedly) wanted? There was a question about Who from the cast of Seinfeld would you most like to sleep with? All I remember is that Jerry got about 60%+, Kramer about 31%, and Elaine got 3%. Costanza got the rest, which isn't saying much.

Well, first things first: Esquire is a [address] magazine, and if the survey was aimed at the general Esquire reading population I would be ASTOUNDED if TWENTY TIMES more men wanted to sleep with Jerry over Elaine. If on the other hand the poll was limited to women, a fairly insubstantial fraction of the Esquire reading audience, that would go a LONG, LONG way toward explaining how someone as essentially sexy as Elaine could be so undervalued.
As for ME, I will stick with Sidra EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Gee, that says a lot about Esquire's readers.... ie. That they're mostly women.

But I think the question was directed towards only the women readers, no matter how many, if the survey was about what women really wanted, after all. It would not have been a very effective survey if men were asked the same question (well, heterosexual men) as there is only one female main character. (Excluding George's mother, anyways.) Actually, I'd be interested in the survey of gay men. I personally prefer Jerry to Kramer (and the rest) but maybe this varies across different groups...?
(Disclaimer: I have no prejudices towards gay men! I don't think this could even be read that way, but I just thought I'd make sure you all knew that! It's tough job speaking in the world nowadays!)

The Esquire survey (70 questions, in total) was conducted by
BKG Youth, Inc., "a research and marketing consultancy firm
specializing in youth trends." They gave the survey to
1000 women, ages 18 to 25, who are not necessarily readers
of the magazine.
Question 61.
Which character on Seinfeld would you rather have sex with?
Jerry: 61.8%
Kramer: 17.5%
George: 8.1%
Elaine: 3.5%These pretzels are making me thirsty.
sorry, just a test!
