i have devised a new way of describing how attractive a girl is. instead of the outdated, linear, 1-10 scale, i use a variable triangle. the three points are "hot", "cute", and "punk". every girl will fall somewhere on this triangle. notice that there is no 'ugly', everything is relative. i think it is less insulting, and much more helpful in describing attractiveness.

How about a three-axis, three dimensional scale?

One axis would be how PRETTY (aka "cute") she is.

One axis would be how good of a body she has.

And one axis would be how much time you'd actually want to spend around her.

Weight each scale according to taste.

My personal priorities are

1. How much time would I want to spend with her?
2. How pretty do I think she is?
3. How good of a body do I think she has?

better add that 4th dimension, Time

Take a look at her mother, if she is 40 and looks 70 then chances are that the girl in question will also age fast.

So is the girl rated in terms of a single point on in the system? or is it more of a surface area made by the combining of the 3/4 points? That would be my assumption... a combination of surface area and the skewing toward the qualities you weight most important.

OK, here's two different psychological takes on love:

The sociologist John Alan Lee divides love, based on ancient Greek terminology, into "eros" = erotic love, "ludus" = uncommitted, game playing love, and "storge" = friendship love... Lee has also been quoted as saying "I make all these theories about love because I can't seem to get any, boo hoo."

Well, actually what he said was slightly different, but the sense of it is the same: "I have studied love because it is my life's most difficult problem. Although I have made much progress, the 'impossible dream' of a truly fulfilling mutual live remains a goal I have yet to achieve."

Another theory comes from the psychologist Robert Steenberg's triangular theory of love, where love is made up of three different components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. "Consumate love" is a combination of all three.

Of course, you sort of have to wonder what right a psychologist who spends all his time in some lab or classroom has to try to define love.

Then again, why should anyone try to define love or attraction? It may be an interesting academic exercise to sit down and try to define love, but I doubt you go around looking at girls and rating them on a three-dimensional scale of attractiveness before you decide whether or not you're attracted to them.

or use the simplest test of all. the litmus test.

picture her naked. if you get excited, she's hot.

if you get sick, she's not.
