![]() A more useful scale here would be to address the behaviors that go into choosing, time and again, unhealthy partners. And it adds insult to injury to say that women would happily make this same scale about men as regards to wealth and attractiveness.Īll women are not, in fact, crazy, but it’s certainly easier to say that we are than to address poor boundaries, subpar communication skills, or a lack of understanding of healthy relationships. It’s further insulting to sort women into the kind you marry versus the kind you’re just willing to play around with- as if playing with human emotion is at all kind or appropriate. There’s no harm in laughing at the outrageousness of dating, but there’s great harm in saying that anyone- man or woman- should get a free pass to bad dating behaviors because of attractiveness level. While I’m told often that I need to “get a sense of humor” about it, the same readers will assure me that it has statistical validity. It becomes more complicated when many viewers assume it has actual real-life validity versus being the comedic experience of a single man communicating his frustration about dating. While I can see how this routine would have been funny among friends after a particularly grueling dating encounter, it’s less funny when it broadly generalizes relationship dynamics and reduces it down to attraction, game playing, and immaturity. There are men in the comments section who genuinely believe that this is based in truth and is reliant on actual scientific validity versus anecdotal evidence. It’s a huge, disgusting cliche, and the thing is, you might laugh at this video for a minute, but the larger message it sends isn’t funny.īecause dating is actually sort of horrible, and videos like this first one with its hot mess of a Hot Crazy Matrix are insulting and certainly don’t improve the experience. The idea of continuing to trade women for younger and hotter models isn’t new either. ![]() Calling women crazy is far from an original idea. ![]() It’s always been easier for men to write off half the population that they already didn’t take seriously. But, as with most other things, if we want something done right, we have to do it ourselves. In fact, one of the primary treatments for hysteria was orgasms, and I’d just like to state that if more men knew how to make women orgasm, maybe we all wouldn’t seem as crazy. This may seem both funny and true to men who still go around rating women on a scale of attractiveness, the kind who are always out looking for something better.Īfter all, doctors used to diagnose women as “hysterical” because it was easier to blame our periods or our alleged mood swings than to actually be medical professionals and do their jobs. I’m sure there are men who think this is hilarious, but I’m going to tell you what it really is: deeply misogynistic. This assumes that women care only care about perceived attractiveness and financial stability. To wrap it up, he says that this can be applied to women dating men, too, but that there’s a cute axis and a money axis there. And I’m not going to even discuss the transphobic comments at the end about the women who are super hot but not crazy at all. Never mind that a unicorn is already a term coined to describe a bisexual woman who wants to be with both a man and a woman in a threesome. If someone is above an 8 for hot but below a 5 for crazy, you’ve got yourself a unicorn. From 5–7 level of craziness and from 8–10 hot is what all men should be looking for according to McLendon. Then, there’s a whole zone for dating and a whole zone for marriage and long-term relationships. ![]() Apparently, we can be anywhere on this chart at any time, and the men should collect data over time to determine where we belong.īecause, again, men get to determine where we belong and who we are. He lists some specific dangers: redheads, women named Tiffany, strippers, and hairdressers.īut women don’t, apparently, stay conveniently in the box that he’s created for them. From 5 to 8 and below the crazy line, you get the Fun Zone women, and then, of course, there’s the Danger Zone. This scale completely ignores the fact that attraction is entirely subjection, but let’s continue. To clarify, he’s starting right out the gate saying that (a) all women are crazy and (b) women who aren’t “hot” by his definition don’t deserve relationships. As you’ll see, he assumes that women who aren’t a hot level 5 shouldn’t be dated or married and their level of craziness doesn’t even matter. The Hot Crazy Line intersects this graph diagonally. Apparently, the Crazy Axis starts at 4 because all women are at least a 4 in crazy, says Dana McLendon.
