The Binary Solution

Formulation of a system:
By far the most used evaluation system for women has to be the 1-10 scale. It was introduced to us all sometime between 4th and 8th grade, actually discussed in high school, and thanks to "The Game" perhaps overly used in college. There is definitely a universal understanding when you hear "she's a 7, maybe an 8". Every fego (or lack thereof) on the planet understands that. Whether or not it's the most accurate, or most precise system is less concrete...


Purpose of Said System:
The purpose of any such system has to be to create an atmosphere in which people are comfortable assessing a woman's sexual worth from a purely superficial standpoint. If this is something that disgusts you, quit reading and go play some tennis. If not, here's the scoop:

The 1-10 system has no application to girlfriends, fetish crushes, and the like because it is way too judgmental. There's no way of delicately evaluating a woman without offending the person who might have some emotional attachment, or the patient suffering from a form of "yellow fever" by saying, "eww, dude that girl is a 4 at best". The goal of the proposed system will be to foster healthy talk about the female sex and to promote hookup quantity and general self esteem. Because we all know what happens when you got sexual frustration on your mind.

Case Study of the 1-10 Scale:
If I recall correctly, one Howard Hsu had an encounter with what he dubbed a "B-" girl at the end of this summer. While not exactly the 1-10 scale, once we calculate GPA and whatnot we're clearly headed in the same direction...
All discussion of this B-, and I'm serious on this Zap, because as the Turk in this Howard-Zap/JD-Turk love affair you know that even they have a rule regarding desperate times. All discussion of my big-titted lab partner aside, there has to be a better way of telling howard that a B- might be overvaluing someone on a Trung Candidate level, even if you do have a thing for boobs (which Howard vehemently claims is not true for him).





Clearly the 1-10 scale has some issues...

Enter the Binary Scale:
For all you math-incompetent fegos, a binary scale is a different numbering system based upon base 2 as opposed to base 10. Instead of changing decimal places after 9, you change after 1, and each decimal place is worth twice that of the previous one instead of 10 times. So the number 9 in binary would be 1001 (because 8+1=9). See: here for more info.
To cut to the chase, the binary scale evaluates a woman as either a 0 or a 1. 1 being someone you'd fuck, 0 being someone you wouldn't. To give credit where credit is due, the juniors of 357 deserve some props for introducing me to the binary system.

Primary Applications: Put the binary scale into action and you've got a system that just gives your gut opinion on the matter. Sure it might be fun to argue the ins and outs of whether or not someone is a 7.5 or 8, but who the fuck really cares. For all of you with a little piece to come home to, this might sound fun, but I'm saying this for the people on the meat market, "The Binary Scale is your friend". Nevertheless, caution must be exercised in that the binary scale gives you no right to be pursuing specimens just because they have supple points.

A 1 is a 1:
Maybe the best part of the binary system is that there's no separation between the cream of the crop and the above average. All this does is encourage the use of actual words instead of "9.5 baby!" So while people like Zap are grilling you on the night's escapades and living vicariously through you, you can give a detailed description or choose to leave it at "she was a 1".
Honestly, I can't think of any drawbacks to the binary system except for the fact that by using it you seem like kind of a creep. But isn't grading women on a 1-10 scale creepy to outsiders anyways? From where I stand, creepiness has never been an issue or a concern. The binary scale encourages the pursuit of hookups, not the overanalysis and overthinking that can happen when we're out there sarging. With the binary scale, the idea is to go for it since she's a 1 and nothing else matters. Whether or not the binary scale leads to more hookups, more sex or more of anything is debatable, but the ideology behind it supports a potential correlation and causation.

Permutations and Rules:
First off, it's unacceptable to ever use any decimal places, fractions, percentages or any other mathematical operators on the binary scale. Because that clearly defeats the purpose. Anything that just modifies, but doesn't change the actual numbers is probably fine. For instance, "She's a 0, but I think she has Ed McCaffrey like upside" only helps our understanding and preserves the integrity of the system. That's definitely kosher.

Ok, now that I've popped my posting cherry, don't expect anything for another 6 months.
