Answering as my younger self, i'd probably do some initial sort to eliminate ones with some particularly off-putting personality trait or very gross physical features that would mean the baseline amount of sexual attraction just wouldn't be there. Above the minimum physical attraction threshold, basically not at all concerned with trying to pick the "hottest" as then it's more important to find both a personality, philosophly/values, and commitment match.
I may be highly unrepresentative, but I would sleep with precisely zero of them before getting to know them and, at a minimum, not suspecting or knowing they weren't marriage material. Sleeping with someone I would not consider a potential serious long-term partner seems actively repellant, and I strongly dislike other men who have a significantly different outlook on relationships and women.

Similarly, we've done The Hobbit (around age 6), the entire Harry Potter series (started around 5-6, ended at 10), Lord of the Rings, now working on The Three Musketeers (which I have to occasionally slightly expurgate, but is generally very good), plus things like A Christmas Carol around the holidays. At younger ages we've done the original Winnie the Pooh stories, The Wind in the Willows, probably a few others I can add later once I check my notes.
Are cradle Orthodox accepted? Count me in if so.
