Evolution

On occasion, I have been tempted to chart my attitudes towards women. The variety is astounding.  In my twenty-six years (can I still get away with calling myself mid-twenty-something?) there has been heaps of confusion, frustration, and rage – thrown into a mix of inexplicable fondness, grudging respect, and the occasional hanging tongue. So it follows:

The basic chart:
x axis - time
y axis - number physical attractions
Result - S curve. 

Low tolerance for cooties until the age of 12, followed by an almost vertical appreciation for girls AKA bootie AKA women/feminine mystique.  The graph begins to flatten out at the age of 25 with occasional random spikes.

The interaction chart:
x axis - time
y axis - number of [pseudo and real] interactions
Result - Normalized bell curve.

Outlier crushes starting with Ms. Orzarzabal in the third grade (oh how she crossed her legs and wrote such wonderful cursive), followed by cute blond Meghan in 7th grade theater rehearsals who liked to sit on my lap.  Too bad she was into Garth Brooks while I was into J.S. Bach. Sloping up are forgettable crushes, testosteroned night outs and delay tactics in high school.  Greatest density for those secret collegiate escapades and post-college alcoholic haze -- followed by the gradual descent into the pacificus exploitus of the mid-twenty years and some freaky run-ins with ex-es.

Emotional Intensity chart:
x axis - time
y axis - intensity
Result - Parabola curve.

"I would die for you would lie for you would bleed for you" and all that other bullshit - beginnings of puppy dog love and pop culture romantic silliness – especially when looking at your great crush, Steph, dance with the popular kid while you're standing with  the other guys against the cafeteria wall. Boyz II Men still stinks.  Regrettable and sometimes shallow dip into "Yes I'll be there for you I got your letter no I'm not dating your friend" immaturity to be followed by a slow uptick in "Holy jeebus, a respectful and understanding relationship can be something else, even with all of its warts and deficiencies."

Fun chart:
x axis - time
y axis - wooHoo! fun!
Result - learning, or logistic curve

Low fun instances during early maturation years, as exhibited by stammers and/or 'eyes to the ground' maneuver whenever a female approach is detected. Followed by awkward limb(s) stage.  Backrow movie theatre fun slopes upward, soon to be upstaged by the freedoms afforded by co-ed dorm rooms in college. Eureka! Realization that (hot) girls with brains can be more fun than vapid twittering creatures.  The fun starts to flatten out with the onset of the quarter-life crisis and the occasional alarms rung by female friends' biological clocks.

Ethicity correlation chart
x axis - primary ethnic identity
y axis - intensity of interest
Result - Inconclusive. Broad distribution. Random noise.

Middle school was reserved for blond bright things. Followed by a fascination with African-American relationships. Early part of high school witnessed awkward forays into Latin studies, then due to popular supply, inconclusive results with a polyglot of East Asian research. College continued the Asian theme, albeit with a closer appreciation for highly private cultures of Japan and especially Korea. Cross-cultural exchange occurred with Asia continued until there was a gradual return to a diversity initiative, where all women were, in fact, gorgeous. An undercurrent appreciation for Jewish women continues unabated cause, well, they're really really hot. And also really smart and intense. See Natalie Portman or Rachel Weisz for hotness reference.

Interests correlation chart
x axis - characteristics/interests
y axis - correlation
Result - Needs further study

Apparently, I have a perfect 1 correlation with a girl that a) plays the cello, b) speaks French c) dresses Italian and d) likes the following bands: Jump Little Children, Bloc Party, the Format, the Arcade Fire and the Flaming lips.  And anyone who got soul but ain't a soulja. Go figure.

In conclusion, after extensive studies – Rachel Weisz is hot.

great entry:))

and yes, Rachel is beautiful, even i will agree with it. she has stunning simplicity about her.
