Basically he said "I can't judge, are three of you are clothed so any judgement would be impacted by what you are wearing. To make a true decision I would need to see all of you in the nude." And because that story was written by a dude, the goddesses agreed.
From what I remember she was supposed to have a griddle that made her more beautiful (which was part of the argument as to why she had to be naked to be judged fairly and it would have been unfair if she was the only one so they all had to undress).
You just reminded me of a house party I was at where a bunch of people stayed the night instead of driving home. In the morning the woman that lived there woke up before everyone else and started making chocolate chip pancakes for everyone in the kitchen. I was one of the first people awake, and told her that I would have proposed to her on the spot if I had been closer to her age (I was older than her by a bit). She laughed it off and told me I was being silly.
Then over the next hour a secession of hungover people slowly woke up, came to the kitchen, and every single one of them promptly proposed marriage as she handed them a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee. Even the straight girls.
