The 95th Percentile

Strauss’s Challenge has a web site. (Fancy that.) Some of the resources for the challenge are located on the site, so I got my quasi-neophyte self online and registered for an account.

First things first… Let’s begin with the Personal Profile Analysis!

Changing your life for the better starts with having an understanding of where you are today. The Stylelife Personality Profile Analysis will test your skills with women, measure your experiences in comparison to the national average, let you know exactly which of eight dating personality types you fit into, and tell you what you need - and how long it will take - to reach the next level.

So I fill out some forms telling the interwebz general information about:
- My love life: (Age; # of Distinct Intimate Partners to Date; time spent in serious relationships; etc.)
- My goals (Options include: increasing #/quality of sexual partners; losing virginity; finding woman for marriage; becoming a master seducer, etc. I pick Improving networking/business skills.)
- My beliefs (which could be more accurately titled “my social fears/behaviors/perceptions”)
- My learning strategies (desired timeframe; devotion to project; preferred learning methods, etc.)

I answer the questions truthfully, as myself. Not as if I am trying to be some dude.

And, the verdict?

My Stylelife Type: The Observer Guy

My profile tells me that I’ve got most (if not all) of the tools I need to meet (and have) women at my fingertips. I’m smart. Perhaps even smarter than dudes who are more successful than the ladies. But I tend to be a fence-sitter, standing at the back of the crowd watching everyone else have all the fun. Sometimes I can’t even get the courage to leave the house.

Sounds exactly like me, doesn’t it? ;-)

Mmmkay. Now, for the rest of it…


Mating Success Indicator: 95%!!!

Holy Shit! If I were a guy, I'd be in the 95th percentile for my age group in the Likelihood of Spreading My Seed category?!?!

The MSI Chart shows how you compare to the rest. 50% is average.

I… I really don't know what to say. If I were a dude, would I get some kind of medal or something for fucking more people than all the other dudes I know? Umm... I think a speech of some sort is in order…

I’d like to thank the many late nights at my favorite college bar (R.I.P. – You’ll always have a place in my heart!) … and the Walk-Me-Downs. And my favorite (now retired) Gettin’ Lucky Skirt (You know you’re irreplaceable!) And, oh, yeah, all the menfolk who met me and subsequently stuck it to me. I couldn’t have done this without all of you!

Jebus. How the hell was that number calculated, anyway?*

But, seriously... that can't be right, can it? I've had sex with more people than 95% of the guys my age?!?!? I mean, I’ve been around the block, but I haven’t been around the freakin’ continent…

Oh, wait. They had to get that data from somewhere, right? I'm being compared to the guys who are on this site because they can't get laid on their own. Right? Right? Phew… For a second there, I was thinking... Well, nevermind what I was thinking…

But now I’m confused all over again. I’m in the fucking 95^th percentile of Gettin’ Laid, and I’m The Observer Guy? Jebus! How much sexin’ does one have to do to NOT be considered a wallflower by the folks/’puters running the Stylelife Challenge?


* Apparently, my MSI was calculated like this:

My Age
– Average Age of Men’s Virginity Loss
= Remainder

Remainder
– Years in Monogamous Relationship(s)
= Years Available for Active Dating

Unique Intimate Partners
Years Available for Active Dating
= # of Hookups per Annum

My # of Hookups per Annum
v. Average Person
(my age and relationship years)

See? Tolja. Very scientific.
