I knew I was sexy...

This MIT linguist found that boys were rated hotter (at Hot or Not) if their names had front vowels.

While trochee (/'tro,ki/) has one front, one back, my real name has not one, not two, but three front vowels. Show the love, baby!

Hee. That's great.

And at long last, I have discovered the reason why I am so rarely hit on -- my real name has 2 front vowels to 1 back. Woe is I.

heh. If your name was "woe" you'd have it even harder, so count yer blessings.
