No.
Liara has eyebrows. Very few asari actually have human-esque eyebrows. I have to wonder why that is. Is Liara a freak? Did she have them painted on?
It's rather unsettling.

Oh god. ew. I wouldn't touch her with a sterilized cattle prod.
miranda has buckteeth.
I think we are a little caught up in who she is not what she looks like. This was a conversation about looks. Shallow I know, but lets keep it in context. I am not cheating on my wife no matter who the chick is, so it's all pretty academic.
Miranda has teeth?
I guess i should have noticed.. But you can't see them from my favored vantage point. We were talking shallow? Well, she is a cartoon for crying out loud..
Actually a LARGE part od sexual attraction is personality. Tila personality offsets any hotness she may or may not have. Which is a perfect example of Morinth, she looks almost exactly the same as Samara, but I still would not touch her with someone elses penis.
And Samara definately would not be as attractive if she say had a personality similar to Miranda, part of my attraction to Samara is her regal bearing.
If physical buety alone was the only scale for whats sexy and appealing then people like Katie Price and Carrie Prejean would be A list stars instead of D list pin up girls and tabliod fodder.
This Onion video "VH1reality bus crashes in California, causing major **** spill" is an example of phsysically good looking women, who are in no way shape or form sexy... or attractive...

Samara > Asari Councilor > Shiala >>>> Liara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Benezia.
Anyway, Morinth may be the same as Samara, but I just don't like her. At all. Maybe is that creepy smile.

This conversation has become a bit more serious than some of us intended.
"Sexual Attraction" is different things to different people. Some people respond to the primal senses more than others. I am sure some people are not attracted to people who simply appeal to those primal senses. I think it is wise to look past the surface when looking for a mate, but when discussing art, and that is in fact what we are discussing, then the conversation is different.
Art is the discussion of the aesthetic. While philosophers might try to interpret the existential meaning of the work, for the layman it is a matter of simple appeal. The question was never "with whom would you rather have a relationship" it was "who looks better;" Or at least that is how I interpreted the question. When discussing the simple aesthetic value of something, then whether or not it has evil connotations is immaterial.
My preference of Samara over Morinth, as an example, is not driven by personailty, it is the fact that the artists used shading to enhance the "evil" aura of Morinth. That darker coloring or use of lighting detracted from the overall visual effect. As the "angry" Liara had a different visual appeal than did the "innocent" one.
While I appreciate the aesthetic qualities of all three (4 if you count the ME1Liara) I would not choose any of them for a mate. I chose Ashley even though she was a bit bigoted for my taste, because the was strong and independant, as well as attractive. My choice would have been different if there were more opportunities to explore potential relationships with Tali or better still, Gianna Parasini.
To bring us back to the real life comparisons, there is no reality in any discussion of any relationship, no matter how shallow between the averge Joe, of which I am, and hollywood starlets or whatever one might refer to them as. My chances with Tila, or Halle or say, Blake Lively, approximate zero. Hence any discussion of them past the purely aestetic in my mind, is hypothetical. I don't know what any of them is really like, and I would propose to you that nobody posting in this forum does either. You do not like how Tila is portayed, but do you really KNOW her? I don't think so. Hence we are discussing an image (aesthetic), and an image(cultural). You have allowed the cultural image taint your perception of her aestetic image. While that is well within your rights, I would hope you would allow for someone to have a different perception if they are free of any preconceptions derived from a popular portayal.
TL:DR = The whole argument is acedemic. Art is Art.

Samara was very regal and sultry.
Liara was cute in ME1, but in ME2 she was just NOT as attractive as I remembered her. Perhaps it's the voice, she's considerably higher pitched in ME1 and that gives her a sense of vulnerability and femininity that fit her persona as an introverted young asari.
