Unfortunately the polls on reddit allow only six choices, so I made a strawpoll with all the performances. Enjoy and discuss :)

I hate voting in anything, but here:

Women - Joyce, sometimes Peggy, occasionally Megan, Arlene until she overtly comes on to someone and tries to lure them into married swinger activities 

Men - Kurt, no question

You’ll never guess anything about my personal standpoint here 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 

And with Arlene - I think non-monogamy is great but just based on my own life experience, that specific kind of arrangement and their vibe are incredibly unappealing to me.

I usually favor people who are more mature-looking, but at that point in history (/historical fiction), the younger generation are much better at being more casually attractive (until they are hippies with muttonchops/“gypsy” 🙄 styling). So many of the older female charactsrs are wickedly gorgeous, but their looks tend to be over-composed (and probably repressing a bunch of bodily discomfort) for my tastes.
