The Hot Babe Scale
One of the most important realizations you can make as a man is that most women’s physical self-image is subject to many sorts of social distortions.
For one things, there’s “Ugly Duckling” syndrome: women who are very attractive but, though a combination of environmental factors or social experiences, have come to belief that this isn’t so.
There are also some general guidelines that hold true for most women: like the fact that women typically underestimate their own attractiveness, especially compared to same-sex “competitors”1.
In the interest of examining some common psychological patterns women have with regards to their looks, I give you The Hot Babe Scale: a simple, discrete 1-10 numerical scale that allows you to predict, with some accuracy, the behaviors and thought patterns of different women.
On Calibrating the Scale: Because of the somewhat subject nature of beauty, guys ought to talk to their buddies about The HB Scale, and compare notes on how they rate particular women (the website www.hotornot.com can be used for this). This can prevent the pitfall of having a “skewed scale” and making mistakes in interactions based on assigning a wildly divergent value to a given woman, and thereby treating her in a maladaptive way.
Having said that, without further ado….
The HB Scale
As a minor point, women who fall between points 1-5 on the HB scale are just called “babes” (not HOT babes).
Women exceeding 8 points on the scale are often dubbed SHBs, or Super Hot Babes.
B 1.0: This is the absolute bottom of the barrel in the looks department. This is the girl with missing teeth, grossly obese, with a glass eye, or a woman who is virtually indistinguishable from a man. Think of Janet Reno.
B 2.0: A slight improvement over 1.0, but not by much.
B 3.0: At 3.0, girls start coming out of the “untouchable” department and start getting boyfriends who are just as ugly as them.
B 4.0: At 4.0, girls start getting a little attitude. Most HBs have a 3 or a 4 girlfriend to act as a “buffer” or a cockblock, so these girls often get the idea they are indispensable in a social sense, and in some ways, they’re right.
B 5.0: 
Not ugly, but not hot. Considered by many guys to be the minimum acceptable level of looks for any type of socialization. Typically have more of an attitude than a 4.0, and also have some elaborate mental rationalizations designed to protect them from the truth that they are nothing special. May also have a completely unrealistic perception of men, women, and society, given that they CAN get laid (by guys from 1-5 on the value scale), and therefore consider themselves basically 100% acceptable in a social and sexual sense.
HB 6.0: This is the first level at which girls are considered “hot” with any level of male consensus: often, they have a decent facial and body structure, with some minor defects (bad skin, paleness, too skinny in areas, thin or unhealthy hair, etc). A typical six:
HB 7.0: Oh boy, here we go. On the HB scale, 6’s and 7’s get THE MOST ATTENTION out of all the women, even though the 5’s are more numerically plentiful (assuming a roughly normal distribution curve). 6’s and 7’s are hot, to be sure — but not TOO hot that they are considered “unapproachable”.
In other words, most guys on the social value scale between 4 and 10 feel confident that they can “get” a 6 or a 7. So, 6’s and 7’s are the ones that get approached and hit on more than any other number on the scale. This gives them an attitude problem: because they got hit on so much, they *assume* that they must be HIGHER on the HB scale than they actually are.
This is why so many 6’s and 7’s (particularly 7’s) have a bitchy, holier-than-thou attitude even towards guys who are, socially speaking, higher value than them. This is probably one of the most important concepts of the HB scale to understand.
HB 8.0 Now we’re getting into the high territory of seriously smoking hot women.
These are the woman that make you look twice, or if you get a chance you just stare at them, because the very process of looking at them is lighting up the pleasure centers of your brain. Some of these women have the attitude problem found at the 6-7 level, but to a lesser extent: typically, at the 8.0 level their beauty is already starting to weed out less-confident guys with extreme prejudice. These girls just typically get a lot of unconscious, automatic sexual validation (guys heads’ turning to follow them through a room, doors behind held open, etc).
If she’s bought into the whole ’self-empowerment’ thing, this girl is also extremely manipulative with her looks, batting her eyelashes and leveraging her cleavage to get out of speeding tickets, court dates, and get jobs, promotions, and all kinds of free shit pretty much all the time.
SHB 9.0: The polarization increases. These women are either EXTREMELY nice and humble, or EXTREMELY bitchy and cynical towards men. Typically, 9’s get hit on even less than 8’s, and this often makes them fundamentally insecure about their looks. 
Often the sexual validation they got is so subtle that it’s easy for them to paint it as just guys “being nice” or whatever.These women may get free things or stuff bought for them constantly, but again, this can be rationalized away as “sweet guys” (who incidentally they do NOT find attractive in the least).
The 9 is often very lonely; not only does she not get approached by guys, but because most guys will beta themselves to her so quickly (”you’re so beautiful I really like you blah blah”) she rarely gets a chance to encounter a quality guy who IS NOT IMPRESSED by her looks, and therefore be attracted to him.
A few shots of a typical 9 are shown here for reference. Notice that 9’s are often model-quality beauty (the one pictured here got picked up by Ford).
SHB 10: This is it. The top of the heap. Supermodel-quality hotness. 10’s get approached even less than 9 — in fact, most of them rarely, if EVER, get approached.
I’ve met 22 and 25 year old 10’s that have never been approached by a guy they didn’t know — not once, never, in all their lives. Because of this, I’ve found that most 10’s are even more likely to be sweet and relatively “normal” than 9’s — unless they get scooped up by some modeling agency and whisked away to L.A., where the modeling / celebrity culture will make short work of any redeeming values or moral personality they had.
On the other hand, SHB 10’s can be pandered to from birth, and therefore develop horrible ogress personalities that make
them basically totally unpalatable in adult relationships.
===
That’s about it. To reiterate what I think are the most important parts of the HB scale:
1) 6’s and 7’s usually have higher opinions of themselves than they actually warrant. Avoid.
2) 9’s and 10’s don’t get approached often enough, so often you will get better mileage out of going after hotter girls (in general).
3) In a way, it doesn’t matter how WE AS GUYS rate the girls on the looks scale as much as it matters HOW THE GIRL RATES HERSELF. A 7 who thinks she is a 10 will need to be cut down just as surely as a legitimate 10 that is acting dismissive and bitchy (as they typically do). Usually it will take a little bit of effort to ferret out a woman’s self-rating in conversation.

A very good text. I can agree with you without complaining at all after reading your text through, and that is rare.
February 13th, 2007 at 1:11 am
30+, I can judge from this spectrum that you have high standards, as do I when it comes to the physical. However, I would argue that no woman can ever be evaluated as an HB 10 without experiencing her sexually. Though I have to concur with you in your physical estimations, the last half to full point in my book is earned by performance.
You can have a Ferrari parked in your driveway, but if it’s only got a VW engine in it do you really want to drive it? All show and no go makes for a boring ride.

RT,
I think performance is indeed a factor. Of course this scale, like all such contrivances, discards an awful lot of information in the simplification process.
On the other hand your comment here, and some of the discussions on the sosuave forums, have really got me thinking about this scale and made me realize that it needs an update or caveat in the form of consideration of some other dimensions. I’m going to address those in a separate post.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Wow! You have really though about this. : ) Very interesting and funny from a female perspective (and quite offensive at the same time). I was trying to figure out what I am? I think you’ll find males rate us higher than we rate ourselves (with the odd exception). Based on your description i think i may be an 8 when viewed by men, but not myself. I think someone now needs to develop a “Hot Guy Scale”. Now that would be interesting. Dont think girls dont rate guys in a similar way! By the way, don’t assume attractive girls are vain or stupid or just for commenting on their physicality, I stumbled upon this your ’scale’ while searching google for a legitimate scale for my psych thesis…
March 20th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Evie,
Ask and ye shall receive: The Hot Guy Scale (http://realitymethod.com/2007/the-hot-guy-scale-social-value-theory/)
although it focuses on the non-physical components of male “attractiveness”.
I’d be interested to hear what your psych thesis is about, if it has anything to do with male-female attraction patterns or beauty standards…
March 20th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
You seem to think that these values are objective. I think that for instance, 7 is clearly more beatiful than 8; in fact I would group 7,9 and 10 as a group of very beatyful women, whereas 6 and 8 are not attractive to me. I like personally interesting-looking woman, and I think this kind of stereotypical view of beaty does not suit me. For instance, in my view every woman (and man) should be seen as a whole.
Do you consider here that big breasts are more beatyful than small ones? Are tall girls more beatiful than smaller cute ones? I think there is no single answer to questions such as this.
Otherwise, your writings sound well written.
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:43 am
Put your own picture on the site and I’ll let you know where you rate on the “Has He Even Got a Chance Scale”. Aside from that… yeah I can see what you’re saying, but you’re missing a vital element. Your scale is linear with women objectively (well kind of) ranked from lowest to highest based solely on male perception. You need to have the women in your study group rate each other and then justify their position in the pecking order. You’ll find that women can be far more brutal towards each other than you have been. Don’t believe me? Next time you’re at a night club scout out a couple of 6 - 8 range girls that are playing for the attention of men. Then bring in a 9 - 10 range girl and have her simply smile as she walks past one of the highly desirable trophy males (as if). Take note of the expressions of the 6 - 8 range girls as they realize they have been reassigned a new, lower status ranking. Not only do we exist on a sliding status scale, we also can help but climb up on the scale ourselves.
Do these jeans make me look fat? Translation, have I slipped from a 7 to a 6? No honey, you’re still my number 10! Yeah, like we really believe that load of BS. We just need you to keep pushing us up our own sliding scale because yours is worthless unless your trying to figure how to categorize “all the women I will never really have a chance of dating”!
Megan
Personal Rating: 8.5 - 9.0 (You’ll have to take my word for it)
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Guys, notice the trends in Megan’s post:
(1) Trying to own the frame and flip the script: “I’m the judge, we (women) are the true judges, what you guys say doesn’t matter to us because we’re 1000x harder on ourselves”
While this contains a grain of truth, it points out an even bigger and more important truth….and that is that it doesn’t matter how WE AS GUYS rate the girls on the looks scale as much as it matters HOW THE GIRL RATES HERSELF. A 5 who thinks she is a 10 will need to be cut down just as surely as a legitimate 10 that is acting dismissive and bitchy.
Usually, in conversation with a woman it takes a little time to ferret out how they think they stack up, but Megan helpfully supplies her own self-analysis at the end of her post (8.5+), so there’s no guesswork involved.
(2) Denigration of men (another sign of insecurity)
(3) Assumption that men don’t have any idea of how to really handle a shit-test “do these jeans make me look fat” — this and #2 suggest to me that she has never really encountered any guys who know what they were doing in relation to seduction or treating a woman well…..
Notice how much information is packed into the subtext of even a relatively short internet message….there is a real “10″ mentality in Megan’s text. Whether this comes from a legitimate high status or anger and frustration is hard to tell.
now what’ll really be interesting is if she comes back, reads this, and posts again…if she does, my prediction is she’ll answer to the effect that “I’ve met plenty of guys that were skilled with women, I was just too smart for them”….
…and of course now that I’ve said that, if she answers to the opposite it will be merely to prove my prediction wrong….

“Guys, notice the trends in Megan’s post” – If by “Guys” you mean that Rollo and Mikko are the posse that have “got your back” then I’d like to know if there is anyone else who thinks what I have to say is wrong. I’d hate to be wasting my time convincing only the three of you that the paint by numbers social relationship philosophy has some serious flaws.
“Denigration of men, another sign of insecurity” – Again, anyone from the “Thirtyplus” extended posse want to chime in and tell me I’m being too harsh? Or, maybe there is someone else out there who can attest that the hot babe scale is a tried a proven methodology to scoring big with women over, and over, and over again. I’ll accept stunned silence as an indication that I am secure in my feminine pursuits and that the majority of men are not threatened by a woman who is willing to call crap…crap.
[snip]
So, I’m back and here is my post! I also said I was willing to disclose things about myself that may support what you have to say. Sorry, but I’m not willing to provide a picture of myself for fear that I’d be pigeon holed somewhere undesirable within the hot babe scale. Otherwise, use the following as you will:
-In my sixth grade picture I stood a foot taller than any of the boys in my class and felt like an ugly duckling. Being able to kick most of the boys butts at basketball, soccer, and even tetherball didn’t exactly make me popular, but I don’t like to loose.
-When I was a sophomore I noticed a lot of the hot boys at school staring at me from the bleachers while I practiced on the girl’s tennis team. Hum, maybe I’ve got something going on her, guess I’ll help pick up balls after practice. Yep, score one for Megan, going to prom with the senior star basketball player.
-4.0 grade point average, cheerleader, tennis, soccer, volleyball player, maybe too intimidating. Tired of being hit on. The nice and cute guys seem too shy to talk to me.
-Graduate from high school with honors, attended a major west coast college.
-Six foot tall (but not the frumpy girl), green eyes, long chestnut brown hair.
-Have been pulled over six times for speeding and running red lights, but never received a ticket or written warning.
-Not willing to sit at home every weekend, get my girlfriends and rally at the local hot spots. OK, so we ran interference against guys who didn’t make the grade.
-Got into modeling to prove I could do it.
-I can walk into a room and you will look at me. If I get the feeling you’re fishing, I’ll spend just enough time glancing back to make sure the girl you just spent 45 minutes with realizes she just went down a notch. Screwed you for the night.
-Smart enough to know that there are hotter babes than me.
-Also smart enough to know to know I have a limited window of opportunity.
-Recently found quiet, confident, athletic, kind hearted 6’3” guy with college degree and starting a career. Oh yeah, ripped abs.
-My only real point, the scale is overly simplified. If you don’t make a better case for how women look at and rate you, and how women look at each other you’re just going to be moving from one trashed relationship to another. That may be OK for you, but it really really hurts us.
P.S: Almost forgot, I think I used two or three male oriented metaphores in my reply. I’m kind of proud of myself.
Also, if the architect of this briliant piece of work (wow, I think that is another metaphore I’ve heard before) decides to revamp the whole Hot Babe Scale thing consider adding a TC11 status (Total Catch 11). Image this, the woman is a totally hot babe, doesn’t try to manipulate you to get her way, is completly supportive of you, is smart, isn’t a big drain on you because she can hold her own financially and in activities you both enjoy, gives you your space and understands you need guy time, and is as sweet as the day is long (cool, another one). The only catch, you have to be willing to commit 100% to her or she will reek so much vengence upon you that you’ll wish you’d just stayed on aisle 3. Then, I’d really have something to shoot for.
P.P.S. I really think I’m a 10!
March 26th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
You’ll notice I’ve taken the liberty of snipping some parts of your comment. This may strike you as repression and censorship, but keep in mind it is my blog, and also that I really try to make things concise for my readers inasmuch as that is possible.
>>“I’d hate to be wasting my time convincing only the three of you that the paint by numbers social relationship philosophy has some serious flaws.”
Actually, this site gets quite a few daily hits. So you do, in fact, get a chance to convince 100s upon 100s of “sadly misinformed males” of the “serious flaws” of the methods presented here :)
>>“…there is someone else out there who can attest that the hot babe scale is a tried a proven methodology to scoring big with women over, and over, and over again.”
lol, I never peddled the HB Scale as a “methodology”…I do peddle this entire site as a methodology, though. And as to the site, taken as whole, you can argue that you don’t like it, or you don’t think it works, but that doesn’t invalidate its absolute adherence to the facts and reality of social interaction between men and American women (also, keep in mind also that it’s barely half-way done…61 articles / 100). The processes and tactics here have been validated again and again by 100s of guys. Hence, The Reality Method: reality doesn’t lie.
On that note, I really think you need to read the rest of my site. Start with my follow-up to this post, and then the Hot Guy Scale, and work your way outwards. I’m a pretty patient guy, as you can see, and I am willing to address realistic (or amusing) criticism of my work, but there comes a point when I really have to encourage would-be critics to take a more comprehensive look at the whole body of work (the forest as well as the trees) rather than simply posting in knee-jerk emotional reactions to individual articles that rub them the wrong way.
In closing, thanks for qualifying yourself to me. I have taken your list of personal accomplishments under consideration and will get back to you on whether or not I consider you a “10″. Your vote of confidence for yourself is, of course, inspiring.
P.S: A really confident “10″ would post a picture, knowing she has nothing to fear from male judgment :)
love,

I was listening to Savoy and Sinn talk about 10s, and they said that they get approached a lot. It’s BS when people say they don’t. I’d have to agree with them. The Delano in Miami Beach (which is in Style’s book) on a Tuesday night has a bunch of HBs and a couple of SHBs that would be 10s. These girls definitely do get hit on, but by high-value guys. Not by guys that can’t get in (which btw is only with girls).
June 5th, 2007 at 4:26 am
Butch3r,
In general, I do agree, that SHBs *do* get hit on by high-value guys…..in certain places. A lot of the girls I have known and spoken to grew up in backwater parts of the country, where there simply ARE NOT ANY high-value guys around to approach them (except me :)) — in this case, what I’ve described in the article holds true — but I also agree that in places like Miami Beach, where there are more high-quality guys, hotter women would get approached more.
It depends on geography as much as anything.

Beauty is clearly subjective.
I can’t rate what the 2 is.
The 3 is probably a 5, so’s the 4.
The 5 is a 4. (The author clearly likes his girls angular. His affair.)
The remainder I would consider 7s. No higher.
He is on point with the notion that how you treat her depends on the thickness of the bitch shield. A 4 with a 10 bitch shield will need to be dropped a few pegs.
October 4th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Yikes. I guess I need to start piling on a pound of makeup or cover up half my face with sunglasses if I’m to be considered an “HB” by you. Fun article, confusing illustrations.
October 7th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
Concerning the post here by Megan K:
When a woman such as Megan K spends so much time demonstrating that she is of high value, she demonstrates neediness in the process (hence, lower value). Relative to the man to whom she is “qualifying herself,” she has just made his status greater while simultaneously denigrating her own. A girl like Megan K would be an easy target for a pickup, IMHO.
October 31st, 2007 at 8:00 pm
I’m still trying to figure out what Megan thinks she’s getting out of an Internet shit test on your site, where you control the frame. Self-reassurance is too easy, but . . .
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:14 pm
The “3″ should be a “5″ and
the “5″ should be a “4″.
The “9″ should be an “8″
The “7″ should be and “8″
The “8″ should be a “7″
This is all about white chicks. There should be one for Asian, Indian, Nubian, Latinas.. etc…
I could make one for Nubian girls if have access here.

Nice article, Now I have a reference about the HB scale, I was very cofused about it before, but now I got it.
Great Site!
November 16th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
Not that it realy matters that much, I never realy liked the 10 scale all you need is 1 ( you’d do her ) 0 ( you wouldn’t), but i completely agree with des ratings ^^
November 21st, 2007 at 9:22 pm
The purpose of the ratings isn’t to tell you whether or not you’d sleep with her, but to give you a quick approximation of and starting point for handling the opening. Women who are very attractive but not utterly jaw-dropping get hit on more than women who are.
This is, as our host has implied, an opportunity. So do hit on the 9s and 10s. As our host has implied, the high-maintenance/bitchy/ogress ones will quickly identify themselves, and you can quickly move on.
So why not hit on only 9s and 10s? Because, most places, most of the time, there just aren’t all that many 9s and 10s?
That’s not my answer (even though it’s true) but it might be yours. (My answer: why should I deny myself the potential pleasure of a relationship with a gorgeous woman simply because there are even more gorgeous women out there?)
November 26th, 2007 at 6:14 am
the scale is bull shit
it seems like you think all girls are either naturally beautiful (pretty rare) or that girls look the same all the time (not true)
i hope guys know that girls can go from a 5 to an 8 with a hair straightener, lots of makeup and a nice outfit. so your scale needs a little more than a glance across the room to be calibrated or get an accurate measurement.
that average girl sitting next to you in the coffee shop could be hotter than the “8″ you slept with the night before and woke up looking more like a “5″

Ha ha, I have to admit there is something to this. So, I’d be interested in “Megan K’s” illustrated version of this babe scale based on her “female” standards.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Megan (she is long gone, posted in March 07, but I just found this site) is clearly the emotionally damaged sort, the story about wanting to throw salt in the poor guy’s game because he looked at her! She couldn’t resist betraying herself as the prototypical narcissistic man hater. I feel sorry for her boyfriend, the poor sap, he will be wearing an apron in no time.
December 16th, 2007 at 6:25 pm
I’m a lady attracted to both sexes, so I do like to judge the looks of women.
Don’t get me wrong, Barbie is sexy, but there are so many different kinds of sexy out there besides the tiny elf nose and very square jaw. Aside from the 10th, your examples keep getting blonder and more elf-like as the scale rises.
I’m not completely protesting your Hot Babe scale. The bit about the attitude of the chick IS very important. You can assess whether she is overly-proud after speaking with her for a short while. It’s not fun to be with any chick that is overly proud. Even if she is a 10 it’s a turn off to see her (or anyone) acting so self-obsessed.
Some of the examples are somewhat confusing though. For example, do you value the balloon implants look over the perky-but-natural look? The picture of the 8.0 is the most confusing due to her augmentations. But I do have to say, you are SO right about Janet Reno. :D
Overall, I find that the sexiest ladies are the ones that radiate with health - they’re obviously in shape, with flawless glowing skin, their hair has lots of shine, their eyes are clear and bright, their features are close to symmetrical, and of course they must have nice T&A. Lots of other factors also come into it though - posture, gait, and the attention that these ladies give to their hygiene and personal style - these things also influence a lady’s physical appearance in a big way.

As a woman, I have always been curious about how men view the attractiveness scale and I can see that it is highly subjective. But only to an extent. When I was in jr. high I had short hair and braces and was called ugly. From the time I was a sophmore, I was told by men and women that I am pretty or beautiful. I never believed them and still don’t to this day. I am married now, but I can never get over being called ugly during that phase in my life so I seek validation of my looks. According to hotornot.com, I am an 8. But honestly, most of the reason for that is probably due to the fact that I have DDs. When I used to go to clubs, I got hit on a fair amount but not often because the people I used to hang out with were predominantly male so I was always surrounded by men. However, I was constanly being hit on by the men in our entourage even though most of them were friends with my husband. I know this is rambling, but I am really curious what exactly men find most attractive about a woman. Is it a pretty face? Awesome body? Nice tits? Intelligent?
January 13th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
>> Is it a pretty face? Awesome body? Nice tits? Intelligent?
Yes.
February 3rd, 2008 at 3:13 pm
You did a good job with this, thanks!
February 10th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I employ three scales:
1) watchability(1-10): looks alone, as above. (and I’m afraid I don’t calibrate well to 30+ scale- sorry bro! :) Good when hanging at the beach, etc..
2) fuckability (1-20): looks + personality. I am at the point in life where if a girl is a box of rox or a sack of weasels in between the ears, I won’t bother to pursue, no matter the “hotness” based on looks. As you’ve noted elsewhere, good sex is as much a mental as physical thing.
3) livability (1-30): looks + personality + character. Relationship evaluation. This brings in factors that make her a good partner/companion outside the sack (reliabilty, honesty,shared beliefs, etc.) This kicks in once we’ve Done The Deed a few times, at least.
Note that most women (and intelligent men) use my latter two scales at least subconsciously). I find that this puts me in good calibration with most women on many levels.
I guess the Tantric folks would add a couple more axes, based on Chakras, etc., but three is plenty for my unevolved mind to handle ;)
February 24th, 2008 at 2:13 am
Using a scale to rate women’s attractiveness will always be subjective in the finer detail of calibration but I’m sure we can agree the differences between a 1 and a 10, everything else in between is arguable.
Though it’s great to see that there is freedom here for women to post their disagreements …. it is a blog for men talking about women… and…
As men, we are initially attracted to women from our reptilian brain.. ie Physical Appearances.
If that upsets women.. too bad they don’t bother to understand men even a little better. Don’t let a woman put you down for being a man, and don’t be scared to be one.
That’s just the initial attraction phase for men.
As a man matures that attraction will always be there, it becomes tempered with more insight and from past experiences to include a higher understanding of emotional intelligence.
I know for me these days if I’m sexually attracted to a woman, cause let’s face it, that’s what we are really talking about… if I feel uncomfortable about waking up next to her… I won’t go there.
What I find interesting is, after my initial (blink) attraction, the more time I spend with a woman, the less attractive she starts to appear… physically… but if she has a personality I click with, she becomes more attractive in a different way.
So in my scale, I might see she is a 7 physically (looks), has a 10 personality, has a chemical attraction of 10 (smell, taste, touch)
Not that I actually will rate a woman like that, it’s just a feeling or sense of her I gradually get.
I’ve met some women who were smoking hot to look at… but I wasn’t attracted to her chemically. I’ve met women who I considered, ordinary looking, almost flat chested, short (under 5′) but I had this amazing chemical attraction for.
Anyway, I guess that’s why it’s called The Human Complex.
and why and how evolution works so well. We are not all attracted to the same people for the same reasons…
