AKA Beki makes maths interesting.
I have been very busy with work the last few weeks and as such there's times, like now, when you have to let your mind wander.
I was having a very interesting discussion before about my taste in men. Now most of us have a type and since my teens I have always had two very distinct and different types that make me girly swoon. In my teens I had whopping crushes on Gerhard Berger, Bryan Robson and Barry Sheene - these formed group A, the blokes, the older men and then there were the likes of Axl Rose (yes there was a time before the awful plaits), Sebastian Bach and no end of lip gloss wearing, long haired, spandex wearing metal singers - group B.
As I've got older I still have these two groups I'm attracted to. Older men's men and eyeliner wearing metrosexuals (with a geek sub-group but let's not complicate matters).
Mmm, this lecture needs diagrams. Now of course within each group there is an outer limit. In group A that would be Tommy Lee Jones whilst in group B it would be leather mini skirt wearing Brian Molko.
Thus my sliding scale of male attractiveness stands at
So science would say the perfect man would be in the middle, but how can we figure that out with two seemingly distinct groups. Who could be both manly yet carry off the eyeliner, strong yet sensitive?
Yes I have done it. After all these years I have found a use for Venn diagrams. If I'd known maths could be this useful I may never have dropped out of A-level maths.
Behold the Venn Men Diagram
And as we can see the answer is David Keunig from The Killers.
I await the call from the Noble Prize people to see when I can collect my prize for finally proving Venn Diagrams have a purpose.
Ho hum, back to work I suppose...if only my scientific prowess could be used for good....
