I am a 3 point, 43-year-old man, so my opinions are probably both out-of-date and quite common. The basic thrust of the 14 point system is sensible. I suggest aiming at 4-5 points for women, with a 7 point maximum. Lisa herself falls well within this range. I would count any number of colors on a blouse as one point, unless it has a bold pattern. The badge doesn't count at all. Those of you who are interested in men's preferences should note that men usually find women most attractive when the women are in their natural state, which scores about 3 points (or 4 for long hair). How many points should men aim for? This is a fascinating topic. I hope Lisa's letter generates a lot of responses. Does anyone agree with me that a 14-point woman suggests adjec- tives like "bubble-headed", "garish", and "insecure"? Tom Long
