Someone decided to devise a test to see how desirable a person is. Here is the test for women:

and men:

Please note that I don't actually believe in this crap but I thought it would be fun to see what score you get.
My score was -3.

That is Horrible. I stopped after one question gave me a -10. ugh0

I've never had sex, and I was too lazy to measure my waist but I got a 4.
" 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."
Oh great. Just what I thought.0 -
I'm a 22. Some of these questions are so ridiculous. haha0
-
Well, that's just depressing!
No wonder I'm single.0 -
LOL. I got a +12 so I'm a classic Beta. Guess I'll be off to really tramp it up now...0
-
Yeah, that just made me feel great, haha.... I'm evidently negative but just barely, woo hoo! Shortly I hope to add back 20 points to move fully into the positive side.
-19 to -5: Lesser beta. The men you want make fun of you out of earshot. You spend many years learning how to settle for mediocre betas.
Great news...Men are making fun of me, I KNEW IT! I better start settling soon *rolls eyes* :noway:0 -
I'm really really negative. :'-(0
-
NC, they're all disgusted by me! So... at least they're talking about you. LOL0
-
Eh, come on, Sweetie.... there were points on this survey for being able to smoothly handle a man not packing any heat. That's not about me?! That's about a guy with a little d*ck creating a survey to make himself feel better. Entertaining to say the least... and I literally mean least, haha!0

Perfect match
I'm 10 to 14: A few attractive girls in the bar will be intrigued by your presence. But you need game to close the deal.0 -
23
Pump and dump. Wahahaah! This was fantastic.0 -
Gave up keeping track but clearly a 0 to negative numbers.
However given that most of those questions were insulting and things given positive points for were boorish behavior I will proudly take it.0 -

Let's not let common sense get in the way of some fun haha.0 -
I stopped reading about half way through, because clearly it was written by some *kitten* who's probably never even been on a date. But I was at about +60

It got even worse at the end. And *kitten* was the exact word I was thinking!
I got a -3.0 -

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.0 -
I got a +1
-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.
LMAO!!!0 -
Entertaining, to say the least. Apparently I need to really TRAMP it up!
I got an 18
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.0 -
Apparently all of the men missed the fairly apparent sarcastic undertones in each of these articles.0

Please, go on with this point. I am interested to know why you say what you do. While by no means should this be taken at face value, any guy who has spent more than a few weeks on the singles scene would be able to identify with much the basic underlying themes that helped the creator of the questionnaire to form the questions. There's validity to the test, but one's self worth should not be based on it.0 -

Actually I was asked by a girl if I had been involved in a real fight, and I replied yes in pre-school and proceeded to describe the story in details, she laughed throughout most of the story. I'm still wondering whether I lost points on this one...0 -
As insulting and irritating as the test was, I couldn’t stop reading the questions, lol. My score: 11 Classic Beta. 3 months ago (birthday) I would have been a Greater Beta. Even though you can’t take this kind of stuff seriously, from the outside looking in, it seems like the scoring categories really do match what’s going on in a guy’s head.
Just looked at the men’s quiz and it really stinks that for guys jerkiness is scored higher. What do you all think about this excerpt from the women’s quiz?I hope everyone noticed what was missing from this test:
Your job.
The amount of money you make.
Your accomplishments.
Your social status and number of friends.
Your deep and profound worldview.0 -
I stopped taking it... my age and IQ scored me really low and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to make those numbers back up! Eh... junk science at its best! LOL0

AGREED!0 -
I interpreted it as having been written as a joke even if there is some validity to it. It's ironic and sarcastic... I don't think it was meant to be taken seriously at all. Of course one's self worth shouldn't be based on it. They're funny articles, and the comments are even funnier because people take themselves way too seriously. The things that people are most angry about in the comments are the things that they would receive 0 to negative points for. ex: Older women getting upset about the lower age ranges scoring higher or overweight women getting upset about the BMI question... I also think that is exactly what the author was going for. To cause a stir.
The article is preying on bitter and self conscious people.
That's just what I took away from it.0 -
It wouldn't bother me what job or income a woman I dated had. The other three on that list though, yes it would concern me to some degree.0

You have to be self confident and not let this article get to you. If you want to date, go do it. Someone out there is going to love you for being you AS you are!0 -
Good lord .. lol .. this was silly. I got a -4 and apparently need to tramp it up to get a hot guy .. hahahahahahahah0

That is really the right way to look at it.Just looked at the men’s quiz and it really stinks that for guys jerkiness is scored higher. What do you all think about this excerpt from the women’s quiz?I hope everyone noticed what was missing from this test:
Your job.
The amount of money you make.
Your accomplishments.
Your social status and number of friends.
Your deep and profound worldview.
Here’s what I think about the excerpt about how the creator left things off from the women’s quiz. What I am about to say is not just my opinion, but a combination of perspectives that I have based on my own perceptions, perceptions of numerous other men and some social science.
1) A Woman’s Job
To most men, it matters in a certain context. Men like a woman with an income so that he’s not the sole breadwinner in a long term relationship. But men don’t tend to go for hotshot career women. Big time career women work a lot of hours, which does take away from the amount of time that a woman can spend with a man. In an ideal world, men like spending time with women, so long as the time spent together is pleasant. A big time career takes away from quality time together.
Most women’s jobs fall somewhere in the middle of a continuum. They are neither exceptional, nor at the bottom of the income earner scale.
2) The amount of money a woman makes.
Much of this overlaps with #1. Most guys don’t consider earnings a big deal.
3) A Woman’s Accomplishments
Accomplishing something is good. But I don’t think it is a huge selling point for most men.
4) Your social status and number of friends.
Friends matter to the extent that a guy doesn’t want to be constantly competing with a woman’s friends for her attention and quality time spent together. Also, guys don’t necessarily like it when a woman has a lot of straight male friends. There are a lot of pitfalls in male-female friendship. The best friends for a woman from the typical man’s perspective are other women.
5) Your deep and profound worldview
This is relevant in terms of staying power, but not something that will have relevance in the early going. Depth of character really helps in a long term relationship though. It isn’t worth discounting completely. Remember what shammxo said above that the creator was looking to stir the pot. This is the perfect example of this.
For the initial spark and early months of the relationship, this is what guys tend to like. The factors that I am about to list are most relevant in types of relationships that go beyond just the physical.
1) Common Interests: You’ve got to be able to have something to talk about and breadth and depth of activities that you can do together.
2) Pleasant Disposition/Reliability/Trustworthiness: Relationships are meant to fill a need we have. The absence of a relationship causes a void and a pain. We’re looking for a solution. A woman who has a pleasant disposition, with whom we share common interests, who is reliable and trust worthy is someone who we are going to get along with and who is going to have enough staying power for us to keep wanting more of them, which allows us to have a greater appreciation for them.
3) Physical Attractiveness: That needs to be there and that works in conjunction with Items 1 & 2. People who rely on just physical attractiveness to get by will not be alone if their attractiveness is high enough, but they might not have staying power.
4) Regular Sex: Sex is a biological need for men and women. There really isn’t much more that needs to be said about that in this particular thread.0 -
It told ne to not even bother finishing the test!!!!! Lol
Stupid test. Hmpfff **stomps off to pout**0
