I have an obvious bias, so I'll just leave you with a not-very-PC 
analogy to think about:

Depending on the ambient light and the quantity of mead drunk in the 
hall, Helen of Troy and Grendel's mum might at a glance look pretty 
similar, too. Perhaps a more thorough investigation is needed. What 
about your requirements: a partner for the graduation ball, or someone 
to lift the truck off you when the jack collapses?

Cheers,
