The Day I Had Nothing To Do.

Today I had nothing to do. Literally. My room was clean, uni hasn't started yet so no homework (I actually went on the computer and did a math diagnostic test for fun! So sad.) and I'd finished season four of "Stargate SG-1" which is the season I most recently bought. So what I did was watch some special features of Stargate, and listen to my favourite band at the moment "The Fray" (They're speaking to my state of mind at the mo) while I dressed up like I was going to a formal event. Surprisingly I had a lot of time to think today, and luckily I had a lot to think about.
So here is what I learned about myself and my encounters with the percentage of the male population of whom I am interested in.

I figured out that there are two foundational factors that determine whether or not I will persue a relationship with a man.

1. The degree of difficulty of the chase/capture*.

2. The benefit of the relationship to me if the chase/capture is successful.

Now, I love a challenge, so the chase cannot be too easy. However, I also like to win, so I will not engage in the chase unless I think there is a possibility of being successful.
An easy chase is the first sign (for me) that the impending relationship will be boring and repetitive. On the other hand, if the chase is too lenghthy for no good reason then it indicates to me the realtionship (if ever reached) will move at an especially slow and boring place, full of ruts. Ruts=Bad.
In foundational factor #2 benefit here means the features of the man whom is endevouring to form a relationship with me. By features I mean his personality traits and physical characteristics. For example, benefits to me include, intellect, charisma, humour, and also attractive physical features. (Those are just the basics.)

So that's my epiphany for today, an insight into my crazy beehaviour when it comes to dating. An insight that makes enough sense to write down anyway.
