st. valentines weekend

[ current selection | photek – resolution ]
[ feelin’ | swell ]

today is friday the 13th, and tomorrow is the even more forboding saturday the 14th, aka valentines day. hmm…considering ive never really had to celebrate valentines once in my 25 years on this rock, i dont really know what to write about. *contemplates* nope, no idea…ah well. a friend, probably curious to lock down one of the reasons she thinks im single (ahem)…sent me this quiz from match.com…the physical attraction test! test…test…echo. it was actually pretty insightful, if not readily obvious what the results would likely be. the test flashes you a series of head shots of various women (or men), and depending on the particular section, you either rate their attractiveness, their lack of attractiveness, or their relative attractiveness to other women. it then processes your answers and breaks down into seven sections what you look for in terms of body shape, facial features, etc…

so what were my results? the test basically told me that im ridiculously picky. and oh yes, that im looking for a supermodel. no kidding. on the other side of “dur” tho, it did tell me that i prefer the following facial features: “ecto-mesomorphs” (narrow chins and angular faces), blonde hair (me yes…them, no. i prefer brunettes), wavy hair (i…dont think so), button nose, etc. the fun part was when my results were compared with the test average. in one section where particular faces were rated, my ratings vs. the average went something like this: 3(me) / 4(avg), 3/6, 7/9, 2/8, you get the picture. the test then tried to assure me that this wasnt an indication of unrealistic expectations, just that i already know what im looking for…or something of that nature. right-o, ill buy that. take the test and see what kind of superficial prick you are too. rock on!
