I grew up on the original series and wanted to be like Kirk. Okay, so I was twelve at the time. Truth be told, I actually identified more with Scotty. Anyone who can drink an alien under the table is my kind of guy.
Nonetheless:
Why Kirk is better than Picard
Chunky, there is no way I am going to try to refute all 100 points. Firstly, I just don't care enough. There is no secondly.
But, just to be difficult, here's my answer to the first three. Keep in mind, this whole discussion got started because I claimed that women preferred Picard.
100. Kirk is a leader, not a follower.
Umm, one of the things I like about Picard is that he is the quintessential leader, and very masculine about it too. He's strong without being a boor, listens to others, but makes up his own mind.
99. Kirk never really got into that kinky "Jumpsuit" look.
No, he wore pyjamas. That showed off his soft tummy. Yuck.
98. Kirk has sex more than once a season.
This may come as a major shock to the male half of the population, but while this may win you bragging rights in the boys' locker room, in the girls' it goes over like a lead balloon. Not the frequency so much as the frequency in partner changes. Male sluts are not sexy in a woman's eyes. Repeat after me... (OK, there are always one or two women who provide the exception to prove the rule. But most of us are not interested in being one in a string of conquests. There are some, admittedly, who want to build their own string of conquests. They are less picky by definition.)
