If I Was Rich, You'd Have Sex With Me! Part 2 the Hottie Quotient.

…See Part 1 from earlier today…

Wow! I love this topic. It seems to get at some deep-rooted idea for males (and females). Basically, that us males are being judged on some productivity/security standard that is reminiscent of caveman times. Except, instead of animal parts being the proof of one’s success, it is now measured with money and the display of that money through conspicuous consumption, a concept first described by Thorstien Veblen in the late 19th century.

Wealth and sex, they do seem to go together but a “better” sex life involves much more than being rich. Such a complex psychological and physical process involves a lot more than a simple “They rich. Me shag,” input and response.

So, as a way to further condense the complexities of human sexuality, I want to propose the Hottie Quotient. That’s right. The Hottie Quotient is a handy equation that can be kept in your BlackBerry, Treo, or, if you’re truly cool, your iPhone for simple calculations of how lucky one might get or how much to lust after your drunk co-worker.

It’s a simple calculation based on my rich fantasy life and limited actual experience. The Hottie Quotient says that how much a person will want to jump your bones is a product of how attractive you are and how famous you are, with attractiveness being a sum of physical beauty and confidence.

The Hottie Quotient then, looks like this:

Hq = F^2 * (C+B), [note: F is squared for those wondering]

Where Hq is the Hottie Quotient or the Lust Factor, F is Fame or notoriety, C is Confidence, and B is Beauty.

Some things to consider:

(1) You can compensate for Beauty with increased Confidence.

(2) Fame is a powerful hotness multiplier. A little bit goes a long way, hence the ability of relatively minor celebrities, such as local weathermen, to get laid.

Further investigation shows that the Confidence factor (C) is a product of your Abilities (A) and Successes (S) based on those abilities, along with Luck (L) and (for some) Insanity (I),

C = (A + S + L)^I. [Yup. I'm raising it to the power of I]

What this equation means is that some people’s Confidence is due to their Abilities (and a little Luck) leading to Success, however, Luck could be the main driving force behind their Confidence.

Then, there are those people who are just nuts. They have an amazing level of Confidence that is founded on very little Ability or Success. That is taken into account by the power of Insanity.

An important point is:

(1) If you have few skills or successes, a narcissistic insanity can still make you very appealing to others (see David Koresh).

Ms Grove’s survey said that wealth leads to “better” sex and, for males, “better” means more partners. However, as I’ve shown with the Hottie Quotient and the Confidence factor, men can get laid by just having cool skills, a mild amount of success, and a small amount of local notoriety. Or, if those fail, being crazy helps.

Funny that. I've acted crazy a lot lately and I still can't get laid.
