Clarity in the dark zone: 7 and 8 analysis

8: really hot, sexy, cute, 'there's something about her', awesome, wicked* - notice personality starts being suggested through adjectives but again a true find. Physically marriable if personality is awesome.

7: pretty, cute, really fun!, smart, kinda hot - creativety in adjectives is lost. No one ever wrote a poem about a 7. (practice girl)

Note: The drop off between an 8 and a 7 is the biggest of all drop offs. All men agree that an 8 is 'sexable' but the line begins to blur with a 7 and quite often the debate can get very heated as some men take a stance on why the 7 is hot and the others think she's 'nothing special'. The discussion of whether a girl is a 7 or 8 can dominate an entire conversation between men, can lead to men emoting their true feelings and philosophies and women, and can also usually tell you more about the guy than the girl.

****Quantum leaps: a 1.5 point increase for being awesome. If a 7 has amazing style, incredbily talented and confident they can actually be a 8.5!. Quatum leaps can happen backwards as well.

THE ETERNAL 7/8 CONTRAVERSY

POVs:
Men who underscore girls (call 8s 7s)
Men who say they won't hook up with a 7 are insecure liars. They are more concerned about their ego. By saying they won't have sex with a 7, as well as constantly under scoring girls (calling obvious 8s 7s), they are trying to project to their buddies that they only have sex with really hot women. The whole compensation theory. This quite often leads to a discussion about that man being arrogant or 'full of shit' and in turn his buddies will forever think he's 'full of it'.

Men who over score (call 7s 8s)
Men who over score women are usually really nice guys. But at the end of the day, if you really grill them, they will conceed that maybe the girl they said was an 8 is more like a 7ish. They tend to have things figured out and appear confident and diplomatic. Glass half full. When single, they might hook up with a 7, but would never date one or call them back. Truly know the art of 'practice' (sounds like Michael was in this category when he was single of course)

* Again awesome factor can turn any 7 into a unagruable 8
