This post is a couple weeks old, I also participated in a "debate" with the author of the article in question after I wrote this little diatribe. That "debate" didn't go to well for moi, but whatevs!
So I'm sitting in class reading (At least I went!) The Daily Barometer article (http://media.barometer.orst.edu/media/storage/paper854/news/2010/03/04/Forum/Attraction.Is.It.Really.Just.A.Numbers.Game-3884374.shtml?reffeature=popuarstoriestab) titled, "Attraction: Is it really just a numbers game?" I'm reading interesting quotes such as, "we all have a number," and "you may date someone within one number of yourself," and I'm thinking to myself, "This is one interesting read!! I wonder what number I am? Probably a 5! I'm a 'the glass is half full' kind of guy!" While I tend to agree with some of the points Ms. Lorts makes one may wonder about the actual emphasis placed on physical attractiveness throughout the article. The article promotes the idea that physical attractiveness is the end all be all of college romantic relationships, unless you are 22 years old.
I'm all for students finding other students attractive, but using the "area code" or "numbers game" form of judgment does one not become a cynic? It would seem that using these "number games" one would have to use a doubtful mindset at times. A random person would think to thyself, "Oh, I'm a 6, that guy/lady who is a 10 won't hook up with me." Well, folks please don't let these numbers get in your head, take advice from 2010's premiere relationship expert, A DAD (via Shit my dad says), "Son (Or Daughter!). Let women (Or Men!) figure out why they won't screw you, don't do it for them."
