Ever start a topic you know is going to get you in trouble?
Well here go.

2 years ago, well it would be more than 3 years ago, I went on a working Holiday to Utah, the plan was to stay with my mate Nate and arrange for work in the snow fields. Well I had my visa etc, but the work didn't pan out. I ended up living at he's University. The university otherwise known as Bringham Young U, the Mormon university. While this wasn't the funniest bit, the people were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met; the funniest bit was that I became the head relationship/advice counselor. And yeah I know at least 2 girls out there who would be thinking, he definitely shouldn’t be giving advice, but well I guess I learnt a lot from it.

Anyways that’s enough background, onto the story. So one night while I was sitting around with the boys I was living with (all 4 are now married, Mormons huh??) discussing girls etc, we came across a little formula, well I think I made it up (I don't know if that’s something to own up to but oh well) but we refined it, it went something like this.

We as English speaking cultures have a whole lot of words to describe people, words like cute, hot, sexy, classy etc, but how do we define these words, what do we think these means, and do they relate to each other. So after having this discussion we the guys we came up with a simple little formula. And after a few discussions with friends here I thought I'd bring the formulas out again, and see what reactions they'll bring

Note: (Australian/American meaning of Spunk, not English :P)

Cute + Beautiful = Sassy
Cute + Hot = Spunky
Beautiful + Hot = Sexy

What is cute, beautiful, and hot? hmm that’s kind of up to everyone's own opinion but this is kind of the simple version, it does get a bit more complicated when you put into other terms as graceful or classy, and yeah there is a expanded version, but well I’m just interested to see how many comments(criticism) I’m going to get.

And before you all jump on me, this isn't all about looks; Cuteness definitely comes from personality, voice, funness (to use a bad term) and really thinking about them, they all stem mainly from the personality and how girls conduct themselves.

Oh and if these can related to guys, um I wouldn’t really know, I haven’t thought about guys in this way ;)

So anyways, ill again put on my hat of criticism deflection, and hope that someone isn't lazy and actually comments. Seriously, there’s a little button just below this, click it, write a message, and then ok, you don't even have to log in, simple ;) *cough* Greg again! *cough*

PS. Hi mum, glad your reading this *insert nervous smile here*

Does Ignite not keep you busy enough that you need to write out formulas for girls? :P

Curious...What exactly does a "cute voice" sound like? Hmm..

(sorry..you wanted a comment, and this is the most brilliant thing I could come up with lol)

What about the girls that aren't cute? what are they?!?!?!?!
Spunk ;) {also not the english one}  

The @ said...
well days off give me time to write out formulas, even thought they had been worked out before ignite

a cute voice, well if u don't know by now i'm not going to tell you

girls who aren't cute, can possibly be either hot, beautiful, or maybe something else, hmmm this reminds me of something else i am going to blog on

You should read:

The Complex Infrastructure known as the Female mind.

discusses the different types of "girls". But also the three primary types of boys.

Although it seems you have the just of girls all figured out so you might just disagree with what this book says.

I think that there are so many young women who are out there who are looking for validation from guys, and thus make great attempts to meet this criteria of beauty.
But beauty isn't simple.
I think limiting the beauty of a woman into three categories seems presumptuous.
It reduces women into categorical entities for men to check off their lists in approval.
You said that most of these come from personality: Shouldn't this emphasize more that there are complexities and an elaboration of how beauty comes forth through the heart of a human being?

I don't know about anyone else but I would never call a guy sassy.

The personality stuff is definitely true. 10 points just for that.

Have to disagree with your equation because I don't think I'd fit in any "general" rule.
