What's your dating market value?

    However given that most of those questions were insulting and things given positive points for were boorish behavior I will proudly take it.

    There's no pride in being a nice guy. Positive points given for boorish behavior is accurate to real life, because that's what many women do in determining attraction in the early stages. One isn't going to get deeper in a relationship without passing early stage attraction. There's some validity to this test, but the credentials of the test writer should be considered suspect and the results should not be considered to be the ultimate authority of what your market value is.

    Anyway, my score was in the 10 to 14 range of: A few attractive girls in the bar will be intrigued by your presence. But you need game to close the deal. So I didn't test particularly well.

    Bull**** and I don`t care what anyone thinks...maybe somehow immature 20 somethings want a guy to be a jerk but if they are 35-40 whatever that wish the same then they can keep walking.
    As much as it would be nice to share life with someone that is not a person in the long run I would be happy with.

    And to be an old man lecturing if any ladies do find this stuff attractive...grow up,it will only get worse once the exciting funness moves into the personal with you area.

    35: 0 to 43: You are officially a nascent alpha female. A lot of quality guys will hit on you and you will be able to pick and choose at your leisure. But don’t push it. You’re not quite hot enough to string guys along forever.

    Ahahahaha harsh quiz!! I used to think not doing the 'A' word made you a classy lady. I spose not!!

    Guys, guys...
    Remember, there is "Nice Guy (TM)" and being a nice person (nice guy).

    "Nice Guy (TM)" is an archetype. It's the guy who is friendzoned all the time because he is a carpet with the woman he loves and stays around her for 10 years, and hope that every time she gets dumped she will fall in his arms and love him (but since she sees him as a friend, she just "uses" him as a shoulder to cry - and he'll think "I'd treat you better than them!" would you give me a chance).
    It might sound horrible, but I understand women, nobody wants to have to deal with so much pressure (be "everything" to someone). Especially when you think about your own flaws: I'm not what you think!

    Being a nice person is different. It means you're able to treat your woman well, with parsimony. She isn't your all, you exist on your own. You respect her, and she respects you (you're not a carpet). You know she isn't perfect, but you like her despite this. They can use your shoulder to cry and you don't have an agenda.

    And the opposite to being a "Nice Guy (TM)" is not being a jerk either.

    To expand further, you want to be a nice man to really be on top of your game with women. Make her feel special, but remember you're a man too, and she's a woman so it's OK to disagree and to have your own opinions.
    All women accept and understand that. You need to be able to raise your hand and say: "Stop!", which the "Nice Guy (TM)" would never do. That's all. No need to be a jerk, just be yourself, as in "a man".

    lol I think being a classy lady means just knowing how to conduct yourself in public. What you do behind closed doors is another matter ;)

    I got a big 2...So I am a -4 to 14: Classic beta. Your hot friends always gets hit on first, but if you really tramp it up you can snag a slightly better than average guy to take you home for a single night of commitment.

    So, I can basically get a one night stand but only if I tramp it up...Lmao....Nice but can't we all get a one night stand if we tramp it up?

    This thing is fun but no one should take it seriously by any means....Just fun & games!! :)

    The moment this test gave me bad points for being disappointed in small junk I knew it was bogus. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't cuss, wear flip flops and have to adore small genitals and anal (which, apparently, is game?). :/

    This isn't even funny. It's just mean, and I feel a bit sad for the lonely angry virgin that wrote it :(

    This was my favorite user comment on the site: "The personality traits this test calls for often absurdly contradictory. You want a woman who loves anal sex but doesn’t use profanity? Good luck!" So true! :laugh:

    LMAO I got 45

    44 to 55: You’re a bona fide hottie. Nearly every guy who meets you agrees you are a hottie. So does every girl. This puts you in the top 1% of worldwide womanhood. With great power comes great responsibility, so try to limit the number of men you torture with blueballs and LJFB rejections to fewer than 100 in your social circle. As long as you are not a complete *****, marriage with a top quality man will come easily to you.

    I'm a 0..."Lesser beta. You don’t immediately disgust girls; they just don’t notice you. With much painful effort you can redeem yourself." sounds about right, apparently all i need to do is shave my head and i'm a certified fatty f***er.

    Im a 15... 15 to 19: Congrats, you have crossed the alpha Rubicon. A lot of cute girls will be pleased when you hit on them. But you can still **** up by being yourself.
    Wow.. I feel un accomplish!!

    What a surprise - the scale punishes women who are smart. :tongue:

    Edit to add: I see now that's for men too. To me.... wrong!!! An intelligent man gets more points! Uber sexy!!

    Looks like I'm in good company here with the other Classic Betas. :smile:

    This test is appalling. I realize it's a joke and I have a sense of humor...but it got me on "Manhands"....I'm 5'11 and have fingers longer than my 6'2 boyfriend. Do they think you can have "Long" legs and tiny hands? STUPID!

    No, feel great! You know how to play the game well. You should perceive it as being able to write your own relationship ticket.

    then how come everyone in this thread is bashing the hell out of the test as being ridiculous and awful. If I score well on a ridiculous and awful test... well then I know what people think of me as well.

    yay logic sucks
  • 22- 15 to 29: Greater beta. More than a few attractive guys will approach you. But if your personality is flawed you risk becoming a pump and dump victim.

    very interesting to know that I am a "pump and dump" type of women.

    I did not look what the ladies test was but here are a couple from the mens.

    19. You are on a second date with a girl. You go to kiss her. She turns her cheek to you and says “Slow down, I’m not that kind of girl.” You reply:

    (A) ”Sorry.”
    (B) “Yeah, well, no prob.”
    (C) ”This could be trouble ’cause I’m that kind of guy.” *smirk*

    If you answered (A), subtract a point.
    If (B), no points.
    If (C), add a point.

    20. You’re chatting up a pretty girl you just met in a bar. After a few minutes she asks you to buy her a drink. You reply:

    (A) “Sure.”
    (B) “I’m not an ATM.”
    (C) “No, but you can buy me one.”

    If you answered (A), subtract a point.
    If (B), no points.
    If (C), add a point.

    If an attempt at sarcastic humor then it should say so.

    If it purports to be something serious then questions like those with how points are assigned should offend any guy that is not a jerk and doubly offend ladies for implying they are stupid for rejecting it.

    Carl-it is satire mixed with real life experience on what works.

    The proper answers to 19 and 20 are C. :smile: I added a point on each of those questions when I took the test back in July.

    In my book,neither is a proper answer and any lady that would be enthralled with them is likely going to be way too caught up in an emotional feeling based on frivolous nonsense.

    In time DM,you will learn to see that I bet. </end old man lecture> :tongue:

    In short if trying to act rude and boorish attracts a particular type of woman then one will not be happy long turn reaping what they have sown.

    In case anyone cares about my actual response in real life (hey,even if not might spark discussion).

    The first one I probably would say something to the affect of sorry.
    Also though I would consider it as a possible lack of interest on her part but the whole experience of the two dates would color that.

    On the second one,out of politeness I probably would but it also would be a bit of a red flag and signal to quietly observe what transpires from there.
    If it was obvious she was just there for that purpose then probably it would end pleasantly after that first drink.

    These all are subjective and can change based on the context of the date so really there is not a hard and fast answer.
    If this is considered PUA stuff with a stranger then my opinion of that sort of thing has been expressed before.

    I was so negative that I really did stop after the BMI question. My age already had me at a loss, and only went downhill from there. No wonder I am single, kinda looks like it will be that way for a LONG time :grumble:
  • Oh THIS thread again! Oh JOY!!

    I stopped taking it the first time... I'm old and have a high IQ... those are negative scores in relation to this test.

    Besides, I do not need to Market Value Test to tell me my true market value. I already know it... and own it.

    I'm the bomb...ANY man would be lucky to have me around and I don't have a shortage of dates so I'm not going to worry about it. If I was younger and dumber, I might have continued on with the test. My .02.

    I like your attitude! :flowerforyou:

    The test is BS because it's rating people to some generic pool - to me, it feels like it's scoring our potential to score in a trendy dance club. Yeah, I'm old and have a high IQ too, so I'm not going to rate well in that demographic... but I don't give a crap! This is not the pool of people I'm searching!

    I finished the test because I just found it funny. I'm easily amused with quiz-type things, but I just laughed at my results. The problem is if people take it seriously.

    Well, Carl... from my female point of view, I think it's totally rude to ask someone to buy you a drink (unless you're a child talking to your parent). I guess it's up to you if you would be interested in the kind of woman who would even ask that (to further spark discussion.... or not!).
