I understood he meant to kiss as many as possible. In total that would add up to the most beautiful.

This whole thing was the most impossible thing on that - or probably any - list.
Not because a rich guy like Jack's character or a famous actor like Morgan couldn't pretty much kiss any girl they want..
..it's because of logistics and the narrowness of the temporal window.
First they would have to shift through ALL the girls in the world - SOMEHOW - and put them in some kind of 'beauty order'. This would mean insane network and computation power they'd need, especially if the time limit is 'less than a year'.
They would have to:
- Find every single girl in the world
- Find out what every single girl in the world looks like
- Find out where every single girl in the world lives in
- Find out the names of every single girl in the world (for reference and bookkeeping purposes)
- Find out how to gather, collect, arrange, categorize and save all this information into a usable database
Then this database would have to be used to:
- Compare every single girl in the world to everyone else
- Make -something- decide who is more beautiful or less beautiful than another
- List all the girls in beauty order
- Make a definitive judgment (by whom, how?) as to who the MOST beautiful girl of all these girls are
- Make sure the database didn't miss any girls, no matter how remote, private or gated community-type areas they might live in
- Make sure their selection is the correct one, so it couldn't be done from photos or videos alone, but it would have to be confirmed 'by hand' (or at least by 'real-life appearance')
- Make sure she really IS the most beautiful, meaning they would have to check EVERY single girl above a certain 'beauty standard' by hand
- Which would probably lead to them having to check every other girl as well, just to make sure they ARE at their assigned 'beauty level'
- Make beauty a 'standardizable asset' that can be changed to cold numbers or at least have a consensus reached about by a trustworthy panel or jury of some kind (who, what?)
(and by what criteria would they select that panel or jury, how, why, and why those people and not some others?)
Heck, they would probably need a year just to compiled the jury alone!
Not to mention how big an invasion of PRIVACY building this kind of database would be, and how it would go against freedom and constitutions of the worlds' countries!
Even IF they would be able to do ALL this (which I very seriously doubt), what if they disagree about who the most beautiful girl ends up being? How do they solve the age-old problem of 'preferences' and 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and 'she's more beautiful technically, but the other girl is actually cuter and is way more charming'-problems?
How do they make 'beauty' something so clearly definable instead of a matter of an opinion, viewpoint, preference, etc.? I have seen really ugly women that some men have told me are beautiful in their opinion, and vice versa. Beauty is fluid, mobile and not 100% definable. It is very real, but people see it in different ways, and different forms and ways of beauty light up different people. Sure, a beauty queen celebrity has millions of fans thinking they're beautiful, but there are people who think she's not beautiful.
Maeda Atsuko might be 'beautiful' technically, but there are people that might prefer someone 'technically uglier' but more charming to kiss.
What if that happens to Jack's or Morgan's characters? They are forced then to kiss someone they'd rather not, and not kiss someone they'd rather kiss. What kind of a bucket list is this anyway?? They really didn't think this through, did they?
And I mean the REAL culprits, the STUPID movie writers.

At first, I figured it means if they're loud and brash enough, the girl would become attracted.
On second thought, maybe he meant that he'll kiss a LARGE VOLUME of girls until he stumbles upon the 'most beautiful one' (unlikely as that seems).
