Kamala or Minuet?

[Nakita Akita]

just like Ginger or MaryAnn.
I'm a straight female but anyone who want to chime in.
Kamala, the girl that is the metamorph that comes to the ship in the golden bubble that the Fetengi break open. She's totally a hot beauty. Tall with lovely chestnut colored hair.
She will become what ever you desire. She will know your every desire or need and become the perfect mate.
She loses her personality to make herself have your interests. Is this desirable?

Minuet, let's assume that she isn't just a holodeck person. She was made by the Bi-Nars, to distract Riker and Picard. It worked on both of them!
Smoky, hot brunette with a bright smile.
Interested in what you are but has her own thoughts. Maybe even wants things her way,
Even in the holodeck she tried to get Riker and Picard to stay there.

Both are gorgeous but Kamala is aloof and made to be perfect, Minuet is more fun loving, listening to music in a smoky bar.
I'm not a male but I like Minuet better. She just seems like she would be more interesting. From my female straight perspective, would anyone really want to be with a person who is made to be what you desire? Seems like it would be boring.
Is this the science nerd dream or possibly 'the every man ' dream?
So Kamala or Minuet?

Can I vote "Neither"? Really not into the whole made exactly for you thing.

 

[Mojochi]

^Agreed. I vote Robin Lefler. The girl who is her own person, & makes it exciting to discover who that is, meanwhile is genuinely interested in you, not the idea of you, or the expectation of you, or whatever else those two mentioned in the OP were on about. She's a knockout, with a smile that lights up a room, & a personality to match

 

[JesterFace]

Is both an option?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Is both an option?

It'll take a lot of convincing, but maybe.....

A beautiful arm decoration who'll always acquiesce? I'm ready for that ... Kamala receives my vote.

 

[Twilight Phoenix]

Screw Minuet and Kamala ! I'd prefer Lal ! Or Guinan ^^

@2takesfrakes : please tell me the "arm decoration" thing is a joke ; _ ;

 

[2takesfrakes]

TauCygna ... be reasonable.

 

[JesterFace]

I think I've mentioned this before but I think I have to say it again, she being a perfect mate.
In my native tongue, Finnish, kamala means horrible.
I wouldn't call Famke Janssen horrible...

 

[JesterFace]

It'll take a lot of convincing, but maybe.....

Maybe Minuet would have to be talked into it but Kamala is the perfect mate, I guess she wouldn't have a problem with it.

If all else fails, reprogram Minuet...

 

[Nakita Akita]

Well, I sort of meant if Minuet got to not be a holodeck fake person.
To me Kamala was like a holodeck fantasy as much, actually, more than Minuet.
I thought the whole, 'I'll be whatever My mate wants me to be...' Was creepy.
Maybe it was a Gene Roddenbery 60's weird fantasy thing.

I wonder if the Trek humor was to have silly stuff like that with names.
I think if she lived in Finland even with that name she'd have had plenty of dates.

I might date her.

I also thought that maybe the perfect mate was named "horrible" on purpose, some kind of inside joke maybe.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

I'm gonna have to go with @Tosk and @Mojochi on this one.

I submit to Lefler's Laws.

 

[Twilight Phoenix]

TauCygna ... be reasonable.

Oh...but being reasonable is so sad, Frakes ; _ ;
I'd rather be a bit foolish and funny :P

No.

I want someone who has her OWN interests, and her OWN personality. Even if, sometimes, these might conflict with mine.

That's the fun about a relationship - the give & take, the meeting in the middle, BOTH parties sacrificing just a little to please the other.

 

[Triskelion]

Kamala doesn't just take an interest; her very personality changes to suit your expectations in order to attract you. It's manipulative. But the idea is that when you are with her, you will be far more likely to be attracted to her, and perhaps they also manipulated her pheremone, etc, to be adaptable. So not only would you likely be more stimulated by her sexually without knowing why, you would also constantly be contending with rivals who were also so stimulated beyond the norm of decent behavior. I mean, it sounds tedious and diseasey.

Minuet, on the other hand, is not real. She is a nerd artifice, a Weird Science fling. I would prefer to keep looking.

But if we are assuming Min was real, she would get my vote by virtue of her spark of wit and charm, her cute face, her natural seductiveness, and the fact that she's a cheap date. (LOL, sorry). She's going to draw the line with her "availability" - but with Kamala, the line is a dot.

I like Yar. Kung fu fighting.

 

[Qonundrum]

In order, I suppose: Robin, Minuet, Ensign Gates, Ensign Ro, Yar, the guy who eyes Wesley in the corridor in a season 1 episode, The Romulan Commander in "The Enterprise Incident" (maybe along with the Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror"), Q, half the population of Angel One and that's not necessarily based on gender, The Dohlman of Elas, then Kamala.

And to answer the other question: Yes, Mary Ann and the Professor. Maybe with Gilligan too because you know he was more lonely than the rest.

 

[Twilight Phoenix]

Ensign Ro...I forgot about her for some minutes ! She'd definitely be more interesting than Kamala or Minuet. At least she's got a strong personality and doesn't exist only to please male fantasies (which is basically what Kamala and Minuet exist for). I really like Ro !

No.

I want someone who has her OWN interests, and her OWN personality. Even if, sometimes, these might conflict with mine.

Amen.

In my scenario I was intending for Minuet to be real. Not a holographic thing.

Okay, but you only get to pick between Minuet and Kamala. Otherwise this will just be a big posts of lists.

I wouldn't pick Minuet or Kamala myself.

In at least one Strange New Worlds story ("Of Cabbages and Kings"), she IS real...sort of.
