Subtract fifty points if you want a romantic, loving relationship with me. I don't quite know what "no-strings" means. If it means that we are free to ignore the duties we have agreed we owe to one another, that's not okay. However, if it means that there's absolutely no likelihood of a relationship in which I am presented to your family as your mate, that sounds wonderful to me, and certainly not worth subtracting twenty points. The polyamorous part doesn't bug me at all--actually, the most appealing submissive man to contact me off this site yet is married. 15 points for a steady, reasonably pleasing job may be too few. On the other hand, I don't care about the managerial position, as more than a few jobs I view as significant don't involve actual management. And I'm not talking about arty things, either. Teaching is a good example. To assess one's scheduling abilities and ability to fulfill obligations, one might dock 5 points for every cancellation of a meeting with anyone, in the last, say, three months. Docking 15 points for a single man not telling people of his private crossdressing does not sit well. I would award points for keeping one's private activities private. I don't like adding 15 points purely for extroverted behavior. I don't particularly want an extrovert, and I don't tend to get along well with people very comfortable with "hanging out." Nor, on a later point, would I agree that "shy" and "introverted" and "passive" (needing someone else to make the first move) all mean the same thing. I would like to add perhaps twenty points for each didactic or ambitious hobby, and five for each culturally significant or literate event attended. In the former, sports count if you're playing them and actively trying to improve performance. Both learning a language and developing a culinary skill would be good examples of the previous. In the latter, going to the symphony or to a major modern author's reading would work well. I wish I could accord points for reading quality books, but the ways one can quantify literacy don't readily allow for grades of significance in the content of the books. Monica
