A Bachelor's Dating Scale

I think I should explain why I have a picture of Megan Fox on the side of my blog with a caption that reads "so beautiful it hurts." Before I had a picture of a Ford GT. (I know. You car enthusiasts out there are cursing my name. I was really torn up about changing that picture myself, but I did it for a change of scenery). Anyway, a couple weeks ago, while I was on an eight day sojourn into the wilderness with a bunch of crazy Alaskan bachelors, I was asked which current female star I found the most attractive. I actually had to think about this for a while. In the end Megan Fox won my vote.

I remember when the first Transformers movie came out one of my friends went and saw it. When I asked him how it was, he told me it was a fun movie. Then he went on to say something like this: "and the girl, Megan Fox, is super hot. I mean really, she's so beautiful it hurts." I kind of laughed at him. But once I saw the movie I realized his description was completely accurate. I had the same feeling (ironically the same feeling I have when I look at a Ford GT). No other female star has had the same impact. Close runner ups are (not in order): Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba, and Katherine Heigle.

With that said, I don't have a high opinion of actresses. There's more to my rating system than just attractiveness. I don't think any of the aforementioned actresses would score higher than a 7.5 on my personal dating scale--which is only good enough for a couple dates. Nothing long term.

Ok, that's a lie. After sitting here for a moment and thinking, I have to be honest with myself. If I had a chance to date Megan Fox, I would totally do it. But I still don't think she'd score very high on my long term dating scale. However, I know a good many girls at BYU who I think score much higher than these so called superstars (but they're all getting married while I'm stuck lumberjacking in Alaska).

Anyway, I don't know why anybody would honestly care about this. But I'm a bachelor and I felt like responding to the question. In fact, I guess I'll just do an official top 5 (with pictures :).

5) Jessica Alba: Jessica Alba scores low (here) because she has never been in a good movie. And she might be a bimbo. I would give her a couple dates to prove otherwise.












4) Angelina Jolie: Angelina is widely recognized as the best female action star. She is good, but I think she's too popular right now. I wouldn't date her because of her age and her obsession with Brad Pitt.












3) Charlize Theron: I dated a girl that looked exactly like this picture. I think I made an idiot of myself while doing so. Looking back on it, I think I understand why I had such a difficult time talking to her. I'd have the same problem with Charlize Theron.















2) Natalie Portman: Natalie is Israeli. She gets a lot of points for that. I think she's the only girl on here who I would seriously consider dating, if I knew her. She doesn't seem egotistical or snobbish to me. And she is rather beautiful. And she acted in Star Wars, that's worth a good bit.












1) Megan Fox: Gets the #1 on looks alone. If I knew her, I don't know that she'd stay here very long. She seems pretty condescending to her fans. But she is very, very HOT!




Feel free to disagree with me.

P.S.-- I realize that this was a really shallow and selfishly gratifying post, but like I said, I'm a bachelor. I'm a bachelor living in Alaska with a very minimum exposure to estrogen. The idea that somewhere out there, not here, but out there. . .somewhere, exists an unbelievable amount of beautiful single women to be dated and wooed, gives me hope and courage to survive until I leave this arid wasteland (metaphorically speaking).
