Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to how many messages a selection

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the important thing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to notice is that it's not totally true
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the more attractive you are
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the more messages you get
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the question arises then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of what is it about people up here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who are so much more popular

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the reason why is that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's not just straight forward looks
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are important
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so, let me try to illustrate their findings
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with an example
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you take someone like porcia di rossi

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you compare porcia di rossi

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now, a lot of people

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but, some other people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,e.i., most of the internet
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seem to think that she looks a bit like a horse
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(laughter)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now, i think that if you ask people

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you ask them to give them a score between one and five
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i reckon that they would average out to the same score
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the way that people would vote
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would be dry different
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so porcia's scores would all be clustered around
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the four because everybody agrees that she's

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whereas sarah jessica parker divides opinion

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually it's this spread that counts
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's this spread that makes you more popular

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so what this means then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that if some people think that \Nyou're attractive

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so lets imagine then,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you start dating when you're 15
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ideally, you'd like to be

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now the rules are that when you cash in

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in my experience at least
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i find that people don't typically

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for somebody else, or that's just me
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the math says then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that what you should do
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the first 37 percent of your dating window
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you should reject everybody \Nas serious marriage potential
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then, you should pick the \Nnext person who comes along
