6 February 2007I figure I can legitimately claim 1.6This is perhaps an oversimplification of things, though it does reflect the expected bell-curve distribution. Presenting PDB's Five Levels of Attraction:
Level 5 = Movie stars, supermodels, the very elite that is beyond reach to all but a privileged few.
Level 4 = those who are almost as good-looking as the level 5s (and in some cases more so), but haven't reached the same level of fame, social status, etc. Level 3 = Most of the population. More-or-less attractive, but not to the take-your-breath-away point of level 4s and 5s often the overlooked "best friend" of a level 4. Level 2 = Not exactly Quasimodo, but not particularly exciting to look at, either. Level 1 = Quasimodo Of course, there's always that eye-of-the-beholder factor to consider, which tends to skew results. But I've got a hunch that no one is going to pay any attention to anyone below 2.

But I've got a hunch that no one is going to pay any attention to anyone below 2." Only quasi-attention.

I assure you, the babes are lined up none deep on the porch, and have been in precisely that configuration for many years now. I must be a Level 3, because I have Level 2 looks and a Level 4 ego. If that doesn't define typical, what does? Posted by: McGehee at 7:15 AM on 7 February 2007I'm looking increasingly like a movie star. Unfortunately, it's Orson Welles.
