Must have sex appeal

It's always interesting to see which of my vampire polls will draw more voters than others. This week's poll was far and away the most popular one yet, with 99 people voting over 8 days. Typically, I have about 40 people voting over 7 days, so something about this particular one gave people the urge to air their opinion.

Here's the question: In your opinion, what are the must-have vampire traits? Voters could pick more than one answer. These are the results, using the number of people out of 99 who chose each response:

1. Sex appeal: 74
2. Inhuman strength: 67
3. Long fangs: 48
4. Sensitivity to light: 44
5. Ability to shapeshift: 21
6. Repelled by traditional deterrents: 7
7. Foul body odor: 3

Sex appeal took the lead, which goes along with a former poll of mine that asked "Why are we so attracted to vampires?", in which the most popular response was "The goth look is so damn sexy." For those of you who prefer old-school, horror-style vampires, it looks like you're in the minority these days. Or else you're much shyer about voting than the folks who crave sexy vampires.

I'm going to prepare TWO new polls today. We have some big vampire releases coming up next week, and I don't want the one to get overshadowed by the other.
