Lurker [30/M] recently coming out of intense relationship with hot roommate [27/F who's a 9 with brickhouse body, but -1 for baggage] that started out FWB - yup, reeled me in. Still need to read much here but am always confounded reflecting on my relationships when the ~6mo "serious LTR or move-on" decision comes around.

I propose a consistent and flexible Valuing System to rate women worthy of monogamy. So many trade-offs to consider in measuring a woman's ability to thrive in a relationship with you, but I think some pillars of relationships can be universally agreed upon to be respected and maintained: communication, lifestyle balance, personal responsibility and integrity, maturity, personal happiness, etc.

Every man has his own preferences and each woman complements us uniquely (hence - puzzle analogy for matching couples). A set of Values could be represented by a celebrity Alpha or two that vary enough to cover the 4 male archetypes (Jung, TRP, etc.), and each system would allow men to easily identify their values, and maintain frame/objectivity in order to measure up their potential mate.

Being familiar with other rating/ranking systems in engineering, is it possible for a more consistent and measurable rating/ranking system for women to reflect the Values of, let's say... archetypes of men where all men could effectively use one or a simple hybrid of two and more easily, objectively, assess their relationship value and if it meets their requirements? Each of 5-10 categories (sensuality, communication, goal-oriented, nurturing, etc.) could rank 1-10, be added and used to score a woman within a given "Values System".

TL-DR; ** - Toughest part of sticking with a woman is first clearly identifying ALL your own values, organizing/prioritizing them, and fairly scoring each category in order to decide generally whether a woman is worth your time (and $). **Can objective/rational MEN agree upon a named VALUE SYSTEM(s) to identify with, compare their women to, and make a best decision who to eventually pursue monogamy with?
