I don't want to get into a drawn-out Elevatorgate discussion, but I would say that the majority of opinion is in agreement with you: NO ONE should proposition people in a "stuck" situation (such as an elevator, parked car, or any other "trapped with no one around and no way to get out" place). "Hotness" does not come into that decision.

I agree.

I don't agree that the event would have made the news if the propositioner had been sufficiently hot.

I don't agree, based on the previous, that "Hotness does not come into that decision."

Side note: a lot of what bothers me about conventional advice is that I saw my most romantically successful friends trample right over advice like this.
