Those who liked honest opposition. Nero seems to have been happy to win every event at the Olympic Games in his time.

Do your search in a non-European language and/or from a non-US IP address, and I'd bet that you'd see very different results! ;)

Of course I could search for "most attractive Chinese men" and "most attractive African men" and so on. But I find it worth noting that the standard for "attractive" as a general human trait seems to be interpreted as including "of European ancestry."

I somewhat disagree. Most attractive for porn is not the same as a general, most attractive. Context is key for aesthetics, especially when libidos are concerned.
