I started thinking about the old song lyrics: ?Is she really going out with him? Is she really going to take him home tonight?? Yes, she was.We?re all brought up to believe that frog princes win princesses, but that largely happens only in the world of make-believe.Now Andy Lee, bless his soul, was always violating the 1.5 points difference rule with model Megan Gale.
Sure, you say, he was a celebrity ? but he was an Australian celebrity, not an international one, which only adds a single point to his attractiveness rating. Their relationship was always doomed, his sense of humour never going to save them from eventual break-up by the cruel force of mathematics. (Let?s be honest ? everyone says they want a ?sense of humour?, but it hardly ever seems to save a relationship, and those jokes you once found funny suddenly seem repetitive/stupid/cruel on the downward slope.)
People of average appearance can get bonuses to their points according to the following formula: minor star (1 point), international star (2-4 points), Hollywood star (5 points), international sports star (6+ points).�The abacus of attractiveness spares no man or woman.
(True love, of course, can make folly of all these computations.�Who made me the expert on this, you ask? Well, no one. But it?s the way of the world. Hunks go out with stunnas, rich men with models, the glam with the glam. You see it every day. You instinctively know it and live by such rules. Pick-up artists try to circumvent these rules, but usually with short-term effect. That bell curve will always come and bite you on the arse.)
Now Ryan Reynolds is a delightful, charming chap who I interviewed once (when he was going out with Alanis Morissette). Clearly, he has success with the ladies and is easy on the eye himself. Yet Scarlett Johansson is one of the most beautiful and desired women in the world, and even with all the added points bonuses they each received for being movie stars, the maths was against Reynolds.
It also explains why Liz Hurley might be having an affair with Shane Warne, and how he?s in with a possible chance. Some regard Hurley as too classy and Warne too crude for any hope of success, but his 6+ points bonus may make up the difference. Also his wealth gives him some extra points.
To quote myself again: ?Money is also the great leveller. You never see billionaires? sons squiring anything less than a model, even if they?re no Picasso themselves. Eighty-year-old billionaires marry�Playboy bunnies decades their junior. And European princes might marry humble girls from Tasmania, but only if said girls are a 7 to start with.?
