The picture for the trope isn't good, it just shows two pictures of a man and a woman and the caption is telling me that the man is more beautiful than the woman. If it wasn't for the caption I would have sworn that the man crossdressed to make himself look like a woman

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

That's supposed to look like a woman? (Clarification: The one on the left.)

[up][up] It's the same guy, with and without makeup. I think it's from Breakfast On Pluto.

[up] Thanks for pointing that out, well he is an example since I checked the page but the image is still vague. But the trope is about when a (mostly) a guy crossdresses or changes into a woman and his hit on by many men. The caption is doing the opposite, saying that he is more attractive when he's not wearing the makeup.

[up][up] Well I was confused the first time I saw it.

Yeah, the caption needs to go. I think it's just supposed to be a joke, but it could easily be confusing.

I think this image was selected in an IP thread, but that might have predated the morgue, so I don't know where the thread is.

Lame, but not JAFAAC is it? How? That accusation is Not Self Explanatory.

I assumed it was the same person from the start (otherwise it would make absolutely no sense as an image), but the caption confused me.

Now, if it is the same person, it is a good picture, but the caption needs to say that as well.

I went ahead and pulled the caption, as I think we're all in agreement that it's causing problems.

[up] Thanks for pulling the caption, it wasn't doing any help.

Well since the majority wants to keep the picture, a better caption would be nice. But I can't think of anything witty. sad

If we want to change the image, maybe a picture of male Ranma next to a picture of female Ranma in a Fanservice situation would work.

The current image was selected after a long and at least somewhat contentious IP thread with tons of suggestions. The runners-up are all in the Image Links section.
