The answer of    was rated best

beat us to the punch, seduction-wise

My comment:

This phrase means that this woman has always finished first in the close "seduction race" between her and her friends.

Coiffer au poteau comes from horse racing so there is a competition element to the phrase. I chose "beat us to the punch" for this reason.

Côté séduction, is a informal expression meaning more or less "related to seduction".
