Of course you wouldn't want to look ugly
This week's poll was suggested by Ceiye. It's kinda relevant to me because I started playing Lost Ark, which has decent (oversexualized) character customizations. I've seen some Youtube videos from The Spiffing Brit where he does absurd character creation stuff.

If we were to do a true survey, it would include origin and destination countries. Maybe some people just travel more? Or in the case of Singapore, it's just a simple drive out of the city to get into another country.

This week's poll was suggested by Lisj. Have you ever left your home country (maybe moving, for school, or just vacation)? My most recent trip was to Singapore in 2019 for my cousin's wedding.
