Nov 23 2009The Physical Vs. Mental Attractiveness Graph
Some would argue that I actually belong completely off the upper right side of the chart. And those people would be correct.

Thanks to Zach, whose handsomeness and genius can't even be quantified on a two dimensional graph.

I dunno, but I'd like this graph to wrap its Relationship Temptations around my back, while I grab on to its Marriage Potential with both hands, and see how hot that Zone of Pain can really get.
Just sayin...

Hey! if you cock your head to the right, it looks like a teddy bear with its legs spready open. Cute!

Sitting on an excercise ball, before anyone says anything dirty.

"cock your head" lol
also @12, you're fuckin awesome. :) you crushed a childish vision and replaced it with hard mature, adult reality. lol
18. me - November 23, 2009 6:39 PM
well, this explains why i never get past the friend stage
19. really? - November 23, 2009 6:46 PM
Must vary on a person to person basis b/c I've been both an awkward friend and a f-buddy

If the Geekologie writer truly has such high mental attractiveness as he suggests, he would have known better than to use low quality JPG for a b&w chart, and would have instead opted for lossless PNG which in all likelihood, given the lack of image complexity, would have netted an even smaller file size while maintaining perfect image clarity. As a result, I have no idea what the text in the lower right circle says. Conclusion? The chart is both inaccurate and illegible. I frankly expected more from a geek.

I think the need to expand the awkwardness zone. a LOT.
22. Alan - November 23, 2009 8:33 PM
@ 20
Dear Brandon,
A fifth of the article is taken up by a link, crediting the source. Anyone who understand the basic functions of a blog can clearly see that "the Geekologie writer" didn't make the chart. In conclusion, stop being a tool.

@20, 22
Upon closer inspection, the re-sized chart is completely fucking illegible. I retract my previous statement, and admit error.
24. Dishy Dishyington - November 23, 2009 8:37 PM
@20. SVG or SWF would be even better choices. That way you could zoom in there so close you may even realize that mentally attractive means "funny and cool" and not "smart-ass know-it-all douche".
25. Dishy Dishyington - November 23, 2009 8:40 PM
Jeeze, it's not illegible. The fuzzy says "relationship temptation". Just cock your chin a little.
26. Sb - November 23, 2009 9:54 PM
It should be 3d, with money as the z-axis. And more money = marriage potential, doesn't matter how ugly or mentally retarded the person is.
27. Jeezy - November 24, 2009 8:27 AM
Stooooooooooooooooopid
28. Kt - November 24, 2009 9:07 AM
@ 20 how does it feel being a permanent occupant of the Zone of Pain? Mental attractiveness is about more than being smart, its also about not being a pretentious asshat and having a sense of humor.
29. somerandomguy - November 24, 2009 11:55 AM
@7. Wow real epic burn there Richard McBeef. Or should I say Dick McQueef. See what I did there. Actually you're so fucking stupid you probably don't.
30. Kash - November 24, 2009 7:17 PM
This this is so true. I like how when super emotionally or sexually attractive there is relationship potential, even though it will probably not ever work out...
31. bob - November 24, 2009 11:24 PM
Fuck! It all makes perfect sense now.
