Why do most straight women think that Spock is more attractive than Kirk?

"Mr. Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim."
 
As others said, BIG EARS plus BIG HANDS (think, Vulcan hand salute)

invariably means BIG .... (well, let's just say, BIG PON-FARR).

Oh you sexy, Vulcan, you.
 
This is the Cliff Notes version!

I know how to take a joke but I am curious.
What is it about these answers do not make sense to you?
Would it seem to be more 'logical' to you for women to prefer Kirk? Why?

Or do the replies themselves just not make sense? ;)
 
Kirk always knew which women were more attractive to the male audience I've always thought! Alot of Spock's flings (minus T'Pring) were a bit like the girl next door!

Which worked in Spock's favor with women viewers because most of them identified with the girl next door. It's the Ginger vs Mary Ann scenario.
 
Eh. My wife was in love with McCoy from day 1. Not least because she spent her childhood in desperate need of a really good doctor, and they don't grow those around here. Our hometown is the last place bad doctors go before fleeing the state entirely.

As for me, give me Yeoman Barrows... in Andrea's outfit (not those colors, though, not on Barrows.)

Spock is hairier so that's more appealing to me (as a bear I find smooth men to be weird, lol), but never really looked at Kirk or Spock in that way.
I was waiting to read a gay man's opinion (the thread title assumes only women have a preference between the two characters). Thanks for your input.

As a hetero man, I always preferred Spock, too. As a shy person, I suppose I felt more at ease w/ Spock's reserved personality rather than Kirk's casual confidence.

Always happy to help :)

Yeah, Kirk's brashness and bravado are a little OTT (not to mention his wandering eye). Spock's more understated manner would be a far better person to have to live with.
 
I always liked both Spock and Kirk, their friendship is what drew me to love the show. How well they worked together. And I guess you'd call it like a bromance (?)

I like how Spock is different, I guess that is the appeal for me. The attraction. But I think I'd like him more as a friend (both he and Kirk)
 
I recall my sisters cycling through all the male castmembers as their favorite. Even Sulu and Chekov.
 
I guess it must be a guy thing to think that the guy who sleeps with a lot of women, a ladies' man, and always is being followed by a harem gets the girl, but maybe it is his more logical nature.
A lot of women aren't attracted to men who are seen as players.

Also, I'm as "un-straight" as a three dollar bill, and I find Spock plenty attractive.

I think he is just saying that he views Spock as attractive to women.

Not exactly. I meant that I felt more empathy with Spock than with Kirk, for one of the same reasons that some women find him attractive - his reticence. Some women/men find Spock attractive for other reasons; some don't find him attractive at all.
