A recent thread talking about SMV got me thinking about how I subjectively rate the women I encounter as a guy in my 40's who dates and plates quite a few women. I thought I'd lay it out for the board in the hopes that other guys here might find it useful, especially those of us older men where frankly, looks aren't everything.

I'm at the stage where yes it's nice to have a 25 year old hottie on your arm, but if she has the personality of a Q-tip and can't hold a conversation then frankly I don't want to waste time with her. a nice 35 year old with a good career, cultured but maybe not quite as hot walking down the street is fine with me and someone I'd prefer to plate and/or spend time with regularly.

So here's my scale. Other men have found it useful, I hope you do too. It has four portions:

Looks Face: Basically how does she look fully clothed. There are many women out there who are nice to look at and pretty but have not so great bodies, especially at my age.

Looks Body: How does she look naked. Are there perky parts, does she have a great ass, or are things sagging and does she have extra cottage cheese. My friend says is it like opening socks for Christmas - ie is she hiding what she actually looks like.

Sexuality: Is she good to go sexually and good in bed? This means oral on demand and that she actually enjoys the act of sex and gets into it. Whatever your preferences are, is she willing to participate or is she just a dead fish?

Personality: This I actually weight higher (as you will see) than anything else. If I can't stand spending time with a woman beyond sex then frankly I don't waste my time unless they are exceptionally hot.

Looks Body: Out of 10 Looks Face: Out of 10 Sexuality: Out of 10 Personality: Out of 20 Total of 50 which gives you a rating out of 10 if you do some basic math (hopefully I don't have to do that math for you).

So for example, one current plate is a successful career woman making six figures. A blast to hang out with and cute face but could stand to lose 30 pounds although her ass is amazing. Sexuality is off the charts good and does anything I ask and begs for more.

Face: 8, Body: 5, Sexuality: 9, Personality 16 giving her a score of 7.6 out of 10. Once she loses weight this will go up.

A couple of notes:

This scale means there is NO SUCH THING AS A 9. Basically if a woman was a 9 overall she would be a total unicorn and I'd wife that girl up. The highest plate I've ever had in 2 years has been an 8.2 and she was 28, modeled and was a total nympho.

The scale changes over time. This can be based on personality changes, initial impressions and changes in sexuality. Don't be afraid to downgrade women if they drop.

For those who say that this is too complicated, it's what has worked for me to evaluate. I don't consider anyone below an overall 7 even worth my time any more. It also helps you realize what you overlooked in order to get laid, which I'm sure a ton of you are doing. Crappy personalities and terrible in bed get eliminated right away.

As I said, I'd love to hear what other experienced guys do to figure out which women are worth spending time with. One of my #1 rules in life is don't waste my time so this has been valuable for me to figure out who's worth spending time with as a woman. Hope it helps.
