The Joey Rule
"For example, you're a 6. So that means, you can go as low as a 4, or as high as an 8. Now, me, I'm a 9. So I could go as low as a 7, or hypothetically, go as high as an 11. Or… I could get a 5 and a 4". – Joey Tribbiani to his cousin Michael Tribbiani
The above quote, not exactly verbatim, came from the sitcom “Joey”, the spin-off of “Friends”, and probably sums up one of the best uses of the scale. Joey also referenced a 1-10 scale, although I can’t say whether his was a bell curve like ours. But his method, was identify what you are on the scale, and then you can go –2 or +2.
And boy does this make sense. Have you ever been to a club with someone, and you point out a couple of average to attractive looking chicks - only to hear that person say, “oh, she’s kinda thick” or “she’s not that hot”. And then in your confusion, you look back at the guy, and you’re like, dude, you’re not exactly Brad Pitt… actually you’re not even really Bud Bundy… in fact, you’re more like Screech from Saved by the Bell.
The point being, you got to have realistic expectations, Broseph. If you’re 5, your starting point should be chicks who are 5s. Now, of course, you can and should strive to do better. But, that’s only going to happen if you’re actually a cool person. As in, throw in a +2 for the personality factor, and now you’re a 7 on the overall scale, and you now have the potential to bag hot chicks.
Here’s living proof. Let’s take Donald Trump. He’s probably anywhere between a 5-7 depending on how you rate his toupee. So, for discussion sake, let’s call him a 6. But he’s a cool guy. (Yes, arrogant and cocky fu*kers get more respect from us than nice wussy teabags). So bump him up +2 and he’s now an 8 on the adjusted scale. Now you see why he’s getting hot chicks. [More on this later, for those of you who are just saying it’s because he’s rich].
So Screech, work on lowering your voice a couple octaves, and soon you’ll be getting a few attractive chicks. Until then, just be happy with the 4’s and 5’s of the world.
