^ Of course you haven't
What percentage of men in the world would get all the sixes?

Those articles are stupid, drivelling nonsense.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was the exact same as the percentage of men who get all of the "Perfect 10s".

Notice how intelligence is nowhere to be found in this list.


Where do you find this nonsense? ^


"Well, women have their scale too, and it’s called the Six Sixes. But unlike men's method, which judges women based solely on their appearance, the Six Sixes evaluates men on their bodies, their income and their ability to…perform.

"In other words, women have come up with a system of our own, created to weed out the average Joes from the Brad Pitts. Shallow? Perhaps, but don’t think she’s not judging you. Unless she’s a gold digger and solely out for the cash, most gorgeous, independent women are going for the gold: the crème de la crème of men. Put plainly, we're looking to score as many sixes as we can. The more sixes a girl can score, the better. A ten-incher or a seven-figure salary can make up for a lack in the other departments, but if you’re majorly missing one of the below, you might want to start working on filling in the gaps. Read on for a breakdown of the Six Sixes."

Laughing out loud ^
Who writes this rubbish? How much do they get paid to promote the rhetoric, or feed vulnerable men the kool-aid?
Clearly, it's someone who wanted to work on #4.

To me, someone like the character Rose Tico from Star Wars XIII is attractive.

I might have been more than six months out of a relationship a few times in the past.

As far as "below the belt," it's average. Maybe six inches.

I don't have a "sixth sense."


In the real world, average people hook-up with average people, and the world continues to rotate.

But to some, mostly the socially maladroit set, dating sites and trashy internet articles have become "reality." It's sad.

Isn't it elementary to be suspect of and place little if any credence in seemingly declarative statements that lump all women, all men, all anyone together into what they allegedly like or don't like? In other words: "Give me a break!"

Also, take a look around at the men who are married, mowing their lawns and shovelling their snow. I don't see many of that article's description (if any) in my family-oriented neighbourhood. If you believe the article you'd believe all married men looked or achieved like that. Most of the married guys I know are entirely average, but very good men at heart.

Same for most of the married women I know -- none look like they could model swimwear for Sports Illustrated, yet they all seem to be of good character.

I'd go to dinner with you if you were single. 8)

I also think you have a sixth sense, which is nice.

In the past maybe
In today’s reality most people have this or similar lists and so over half the USA population is single. Far more then in the past.
People keep hoping to find that perfect guy or perfect girl that never comes along cause they themselves aren’t perfect.

Just like people who’ve been unemployed for tens of years cause their waiting for the perfect job.

Doesn’t mean they looked that way before they got married
Lot of people gain weight when they get married
I’ve seen pictures of women before they were married and I’d never guessed they could been so thin and pretty.
I think a lot of people keep in shape solely to attract a mate and once they get one they stop, that and once they have kids there’s no time.
So we can’t use married people as comparisons unless they recent married. Most recently married people I’ve seen are thin and hot. Then you see them years later and they’ve gained weight and dresss less fashionable. Not all but most.
I’ve meet w few long married people who didn’t get fat.

The six sixes don't include any mention of facial features either, so they could be as ugly as a hatful of a-holes.

The article appears to be made for upper-class women who wish to die alone. Anyone who's payed attention to the average couple knows that the six sixes does not apply to most.
