The Scale - Part 3

"It's what's inside that counts"

"Personality is a lot more important than looks"

For anyone who has ever had a discussion on dating, these two cliches have probably been offered up the most by people.

And these are both very sound pieces of advice... FOR ME TO POOP ON! Now wait girls, don't slap me quite yet - its because that's never the choice. It is never an issue of looks or personality. The choice is always between one combination of the two versus another combination of the two.

With that, I introduce the adjusted scale or overall scale. WARNING: The application of the overall scale is to determine who you might consider a friend, or who might consider dating, rather than who you would get hot and heavy with. After all life isn't just about fucking and balls and pussy... Its not about cock and ass and tits and butthole pleasures.. There's more to life than just the Rusty Trombone, Dirty Sanchez or the Cincinatti Bowtie...Its not about pussy juice cocktails and shit-stained balls...I'm sorry, I should let the virgin get back to work.

Here it is: simply take the score on the scale which only factors in looks and then adjust the score up to +2 for great personalities, or down -3 for wretched personalities. (At this time our engineers are still examining whether the downward revision may actually be as high as -4). Now the overall scale still remains 1-10, which means a 9 who is fu*kin cool, can only get bumped up +1 to 10. This is to a) preseve the notion of the term "perfect 10" and b) "perfect 11" just sounds retarded.

Now let's get some examples of adjustments:
0 - Neutral. Your comment about this person is that he / she is a nice person.
+2 - Great social skills, charismatic, interesting, exceptionally witty, lots of class, makes other cool people around him/her happier and more entertained.
-3 - a complete douchebag. Everything that comes out his / her mouth is lame as in either stupid, boring, irrelevant. Makes cool people feel ackward, bored out of their fu*kin mind. Is a real buzzkill.

Now let's provide some examples of how to apply this in real life:
1) If you have two equally attractive chicks, then of course you choose the one with the better personality. So no applicability here.
2) Attractive girl with a cool personality vs pretty hot girl with a bad personality. In scale terms: 6 + 1 vs 7 - 2. Two conclusions: you would date the 6 and not the 7. However, using the Anh rule, you would still attempt to bed the 7.
3) Attractive girl with a cool personality vs pretty hot girl with average personality. Scale terms: 6 + 1 vs 7 + 0. Pretty tough. Both are dateable, with the 7 having more potential. The six is the slightly safer choice.
4) Average looking girl with great personality vs pretty hot girl with bad personality. Scale terms: 5 + 2 vs 7 - 2. Depending on where you are on the scale, the 5 may be dateable. No matter where you are on the scale, she is friend material. You will not date or befriend the 7, however, (applying the Anh rule again) you would still attempt to bed her.

Note: It is scenario #2 which probably leads the cliches stated at the top of this post. I'm going to label this the Saving Silverman scenario, which I don't think is a very commonplace scenario, and may discuss it in another post.

Comments:
how can "going to 11" not be cool!

thanks for all the tips and info. i always think of you and your rules when going out. after all, how else would a innocent guy like myself know who to befriend/date/attempt to bed?

you need to make another trip out here so i can see the master in action. you inspire me. yes, you had me at "Why do fat people do situps?"
