Yeah, I kinda have a *lot*. The most distressing question for me was the hair one, because off the bat I thought of a whole lot of 'ships very dear to me that're all brunettes, and there were only two or three big ones I could think of that had blondes in them, but now I keep thinking of more. And there are redheads. Ah, well ;o)
Huh. So I'm counting all the ElfQuest pairings I wrote back in the day, which all involve original ageless characters of every hair color and size differential imaginable (because after crash landing on the primitive magic-dampening human-infested planet, the elves shrunk, generation by generation, from about six feet to about four feet tall, but they were pretty much immortal, so you could have a six-foot firstcomer sexing up a four-foot tenth-generation elf if you wanted) and none of them owned claddaugh rings.
One of the reasons I wanted to do this was because I don't choose 'ships based on the physicality or the surface facts, and I guessed not many others did either. But I wondered if what we *do* choose them on is somehow reflected in physicality (for instance, one of my deeper kinda psychological draws to a 'ship is often superficially reflected in the ages of the characters I tend to 'ship).
I think the answer is on the whole NO because most people couldn't really answer most the questions ;o)
Yeah, I was interested in seeing how many people's ships were antagonistic to each other at one point. I, for one, most often fall for ships in which the characters are friends, or drawn to each other in some way, rather than the old romance trope of being antagonistic, on opposite sides, and whatnot. But having recently fallen for shipping two dudes who hate each other, I began to wonder how much that factors into who we ship. I still don't quite understand what draws me to the ships I'm into, but hey, who does.
And anyway that's not immature. For instance, lots of girls feel that way in a fantasy sense, but not in real life. Or! Like Anne, "like it if he could be wicked, and wasn't." Which I think is only being fair to our deep dark incomprehensible desires!

So I'm thinking I kinda skew the answers.

Wow, that's really interesting.

I'm so glad someone had to click herpes. Which is also wrong! I knew at least *someone* would have to put spaceships, but I hoped for herpes as well.
Now I can rest ;o)
