Well, having overheard discussions by people with no likelyhood of having sex with _anyone_ declaring that they wouldn't have sex with particular supermodels due to perceived lack of beauty, I'd say it says quite a lot :->

That being said, nobody wants to sleep with supermodels.

It's when they say they'd kick, I dunno, Kate Winslet or Cameron Diaz or somesuch out of bed that they've started lying for effect.
