Big "Bang" Theory?
Well, here's a funny story.
After two months of being hopelessly hooked on the relatively obscure TV series, Big Bang Theory, it frustrated me to no end that after all these while, I still couldn't decide between Leonard and Sheldon. As to which was, for the lack of a better term, hotter.
(L: Dr. Leonard Hofstadter; R: Dr. Sheldon Cooper)
After observing this unnerving behaviour of mine for a couple more webisodes, I started to notice a trend. Apparently, my see-sawing preference between Leonard and Sheldon was not random and whimsical. No. It had a more deep-rooted, Biological reason:
My alternating attraction to the lead male casts of BBT mirrored the contrasting phases of my menstrual cycle.
Yup. Apparently, BBT was like a litmus test to my pre/post-ovulatory sexual preference. All I needed was a laptop, the internet and BBT (and of course, a functioning hypothalamus). And I found out, that during the pre-ovulatory phases (two months' worth of BBT is a pretty poor sample size but I'll give it a shot), I was more drawn towards the Leonard character. And then, after swooning over Leonard for a couple more webisodes (across a period of 2 weeks or less), bam! Suddenly, Sheldon's hot. And that's when I'll know I'm done ovulating.
Pretty awesome, eh?
(Disclaimer: This is a pretty pointless observation, with no actual proven scientific backing and hence, should be taken with a pinch of salt. And sorry that I made numerous references to my menstrual cycle. It was uncalled for, I know.)
