Tyranny of the Hawt
There is a particular social dynamic I would like to discuss.
The technical name (and by technical I mean "the name I made up") is Tyranny of the Hawt. It goes like this:
1. "Hawt chicks (and dudes) get extra attention because they are Hawt"
2. "You have a vested interest in making these individuals happy because a) You would like to bone them b) They might be grateful enough to let you."
3. "2b is not really true but chumps believe it to be true. Jerkbags like chumps to supply the material needs of the hawt, so they don't need to do it themselves."
4. "Thus Jerkbags encourage Chumps on. And in return they tell the chump how awesome it is to bone the hawt chicks."
5. "Eventually chumps get frustrated enough to bone the un-hawt."
6. "Thus the un-hawt get sex too and the next generation of ugly people is ensured."
The whole universe of boning is based on treating the Hawt well simply because they are hawt.
Also lets face it. If you are nice to a hawt girl she may touch your arm and she just might pick up something she dropped right next to you, and you might get to see her thong back. And frankly, that's gonna help you speed things up tonight with whatever you're going home to.

So it's less a tyranny than a social mechanism in action? Cool.

Very interesting. I never saw it that way.
I'm wondering when the women I know are willing to bone the un-hawt? Because when I find one at that time, maybe I can finally get some.
(Sorry if I'm angry sounding, still reeling from last night, when I found out that girl I was dating has had a boyfriend for the past two years and just wanted me to give her moral support. *sigh*, I was a sucker again.)

Sounds like a variant of Ladder Theory, which I did research on during my PhD. P.S. My wife is hot.  |

you forgot one key point. The hawtness to bitchness factor. As bitchness increases the effects of hawtness decreases until eventually no level of hawtness can counter act the bitchness factor and the whole thing falls apart. Granted this won't apply to the boneing portion of the discussion unless the bitchness unless the bitchness level is insanely high, or bitchness includes prudeitity preventing any wild or fun boneingness. and i just couldn't pass up a chance to use this one:  |

Zing! Btw Phaedrus, thx for that link to Ladder Theory. I already subscribed to that line of thought, but its nice to see in writing. And, it entertained me for a while at work. Good show, sir. |

My balancing 3.5 compendiumElemental mage test gameQuotesIt is a shame stupidity isn't painful. Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment. Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?" I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife. Fluffy: It's over Steve! I've got the high ground!
Steve: You underestimate my power!
Fluffy: Don't try it, Steve!
Steve: *charges*
Fluffy: *three critical strikes*
Steve: **** I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet. When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!" Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.
