I am a plus size if I get to want a man with perfect abs I am being delusional.
Objectively false. Not even worldly men are as shallow as you seem to want to make them out to be. Back when I used to date, my girlfriend's best-friend was this big marshmellow shmore (and I only say that because she was a terrible person); and her man was chiseled marble. Think that sounds crazy? I'm just getting started. SHE cheated on HIM! And he stayed with her!

Hmm... She cheated on him with... Another guy?

So there must be SOMETHING about her that brings all the boys to her yard. She was able to attract another guy.

Idk; I think you guys are just making up rules for yourselves.

Just take the premise of this thread- compare Milla to Demi Moore (Bruce Willis' actual wife back in the day) and it all goes up in smoke.

It definitely sounds like you've have some interesting observations.

My own have been very different, but I'm certainly not saying that what you've described can't or doesn't happen.
 
I thought I said I would like a 10, but am shooting for 8 and will settle for a 7. to be exact. So I am just mostly superficial not completely superficial.

Rating people on a numerical scale to determine their suitability is extremely superficial (if it's a single scale) or extremely nerdy (if you have about 30 different aspects you are rating on a scale of 1-10). Now someone should make a thread about all those different aspects you should pay attention to in a potential partner. Who can come up with 30?

The scale is an averaging out of all the factors one considers important. That average is also weighted depending on which factors one considers more or less important. If somebody scores less in something that is considered more important, it drags the score down more than if somebody scores less in something that is considered less important. So each prospective mate will score differently on different people's scale, depending on what the scoring person considers important.

It's kind of a sliding scale. Sliding over a cliff.

As far as that cliff goes.... wanna see if it's true that a cat always lands on his feet?

This feline is busy taking a nap on a tree branch, and has no time to participate in your physics experiments.

And before you mention it, I have short circuited your little miniature electric chainsaw, so don't bother trying to cut my tree branch off.

Good thing I keep a backup manual saw in my car.
