Scorch's dissertation on attractiveness of the female form

It has been brought to my attention that recently there have been questions and a great deal of confusion regarding the appraisal of physical attractive in the female form. In this essay, I wish to dispell certain rumors and extrapolate on my rationale and system of rating the female form.

First of all, it must be understood that there are three subdivisions within the "attractiveness" category. They are separate, yet tied to one another in ways that cannot be truly understood by mere mortals. They each have their own scale and ratings, and together add up to equal the total tally of the subject in question. Note that these wholly ignore such important qualities as personality, sense of humor, flexibility, kinkiness, wealth and sense of adventure.

The first category is "hotness." This is the plain old "Do I want to bang her until the cows come home or not?" Ratings on this scale depend entirely on such physical attributes such as breast size, fitness, roundess of buttocks and the sultriness of the facial expressions. Hotness seems to be a direct result of biological lust and as a result, we tend to classify women as hot that have higher-than-average child-rearing properties. Hot women usually instill an intense sense of sexual arousal in most heterosexual men and not much else. This characteristic is almost purely physical and generally accepted around the globe. There is very little disagreement among men in regard to this quality. A prime example of a female ranking high on the hot scale would be Heidi Klum.

The second category is "beauty." Beauty describes more of the classic elegance of a woman, especially in the facial features and overall body shape. One can be exquisitely beautiful without being overly hot, but when one is both, it is a great find. Beauty tends to be more subjective than hotness, but studies have shown that beauty is generally a result of having average features with nice symmetry and pleasing proportions. A good example of a beautiful woman would be Audrey Hepburn.

The third and final category of physical attractiveness is "cuteness." Again, this is completely separate from hotness and beauty, yet still intertwined. Cute refers to a more efferverscent quality, that of youth and in some ways a mixture of hotness and beauty. It is less tangible than the first two and I have spent many a year attempting to qualify it. In my experience, cute seems to be more subjective and a matter of personal preference than the first two categories, where the majory of men can agree most of the time. In my opinion, Mandy Moore, before she turned brunette, was the epitome of cute.

Now that I have laid the groundwork, it is important to understand that the overall physical attractiveness is dependent upon all three, and they average together. For example, a woman who ranks high in the beauty division but low in the other two will recieve a rating somewhere between the highest and lowest mark. Furthermore, a woman who ranks exceptionally high in all 3 categories is truly a remarkable spectacle. I am reasonably certain that most guys here would agree with in saying that Jessica Alba ranks extremely high in all 3 categories.

In closing, physical attractiveness is merely one facet of a woman's total image and should not be considered without analyzing other factors. However, when considered on its own, it is important to realize that it can be broken up into smaller portions, and dealt with consideringly. It is important to keep in mind that these are all very subjective and thus not everybody will be able to agree, but this method provides a cleaner, more elegant method to the age-old question of physical attractiveness. Thank you and good night.
 
It should also be noted that in today's society, these three different categories have come to have different connotations associated with them. It has been my experience that most women, while appreciative of being called "hot," tend to also feel belittled and that this label is synonomous with "dumb." "Cute" fares a little better, but women on general seem to enjoy being labelled as "beautiful" much more than being called cute or hot. Society today associates beauty with intelligence and thus it has come to be a much more complimentary word than hot. Strange but true.
 
i classify my girlfriend in the BEAUTIFUL category more than anything. she's hot to me, but to others probably not.

its all a matter of opinions and tastes. but this was well put!

well done SWS :beer:
 
I classify my wife in the cute and beautiful category...she's hot to me but others may not think so. She has very fair skin and doesn't tan at all...a lot of men don't like that but I don't care.

All my friends who know her think I am an extremely lucky man. My wife is wonder woman in the real sense...she is thoughful, caring, sensbile, and completely aware of her own faults and imperfections (from a pyschological perspective) and thus actively works in our relationship with this knowledge (i.e. she doesn't get weird jealous or insecurity fits that most all women succumb to on a regular basis).

And she loves me to a fault...I often think I don't deserve it.

Doesn't you mean foremost instead of first? Or when you look at someone for the first time can you spot their personality 😛😉
 
This has been one of the most entertaining topics i have read in weeks. I have always also categorized women in those 3 same aspects when considering attractiveness. Although not so specific, it was the way i determined what "type" of attractiveness they were. Very good read.

QFT ... though I am fortunate in that my wife posesses both. Not a classic beauty, but definitely sexy.
 
I admire and give OP credits for the attemp to classify woman.

But like many seem to be pointing out, OP is missing a lot of things.

To me, there seem to be only two at play - Look and personality. But there are so many ways/kind/type/amount of blends of these two that make up the woman.

Now technology allow women to change and shape their looks.. so guys, welcome to haven. :thumbsup:

PS: My wife is stronger on the personality side. But she can dress up to kill. 😀

I do not deny the allegation that I am amiss in certain aspects. In my mind, however, these three categories are the basic building blocks for calculating physucal attractiveness. As said, however, physical beauty is only part of the puzzle. Personality, in fact, can turn an average women into the most beautiful girl in the world, or a tragically hot women into an ugly skank.

I usually never got to admire the beauty on the inside till the second or third date, although I admit I'd much rather have admired it first. 😛
