[via reddit] Here’s further proof that everything under the sun can be expressed mathematically: the Attractiveness/Relationship graph (it’s not as complex as it sounds). To those of you who are going to waste the next couple of hours classifying people they know along the graph, I apologize in advance.

The graph suggests that there are people who are marriage potential that you wouldn’t date.
Marry them for their money, but not if their too ugly
The Zone of Pain needs to be larger. I’m thinkin’, it should encompass the entire Venn diagram.
@Anonymous 3:
You have mommy issues. The graph is spot on!
Seriously. Don’t you know anyone who got married after two weeks of knowing each other? that’s the people married outside of dating. What I don’t get is the null set. is that just “does not exist”?
@sporktine: In basic set theory, a null set means a set with no members, so yes, for the purposes of this particular diagram, you can treat it as “does not exist”.
The zone of pain seems to be too far away from marriage. Often they are one and the same (unless this graph is a torus)
It also seems to indicate that people with increasing attractiveness and mental attractiveness are often good candidates for marriage.
For men perhaps… but for women the graph should financially wealthy on the top to bottom, and “how much they treat me like crap” going left to right… which makes an “asshole with a lot of money” the prime candidate for women.
Done and done.
For a 2D model, it’s not bad. To be really accurate it would need, say about, five dimensions or so?
