A "type-A" girl's equation

Last post the Marriage Equation was the theme. How bout looking what the equation looks like for the girl when judging a potential prey - excuse me - suitor.
F(marriage) = (desperation factor ^ 2 x money/looks ratio x family x charm)/ cheapness

So let's talk about it one by one:
1) The Desperation Factor powered by two is a leading factor in the decision. The D-factor determines just how much you'll compromise in everything. The D-factor only kicks in when girls hit that 25 mark, because 25 is the last "perfect" age to get married. It's starts creeping up slowly. You hit 25 you're a little worried, but you're hopeful, there's still time. 26 you get a little apprehensive, friends have started kicking in and helping you find the dude. 27 and 28 is the scattering around to find the guy time. 29 is injury time, D-factor has been creeping up to reach an all time high. And then you hit the big three oh - 3 0. Like in football, the team starts a good move at the final minute, followed by another ok move, the crowd slowly gets up on their feet, gets apprehensive, the cheers get louder, the hands clench and the jaws drop in screams of encouragement, and then..... the ball misses. The atmosphere deflates, the screams die out and the crowd is staring down, elbows on knees, hands on head, as all hope squanders out with the defeated exhale that is released after the big miss.
The rise of the desperation factor varies from girl to girl, for some it creeps up faster than others. At the height of the D-factor girls start considering men in the workplace which was previously a big no-no since it's harder to evaluate their family and background. They start re-visiting the past, reconsidering ex-boyfriends they've dumped and get bitter over the ones who rejected them. Around the beginning of the D-factor is when progress is usually made. Girls are still sane enough to make good decisions, and a certain level of D-factor will make them get out there more, flirt a little more, go to places where they could meet people - which are all strategies that often bloat success. As the D-factor rises, the sanity can sometimes be compromised which could lead to either bad or catastrophic choices (like leading you to the dude who just started growing a beard and is shopping for a galabeya)

2) The money/looks ratio is also an aspect. Money and looks don't always go hand in hand, but ones existence can make up for the other non-existence. After all, what the hell are all those pretty girls doing ruining their chances of their offspring being barely ok-looking at best? Money can change bad looks, either surgically or just by showing off your other assets...
And as for looks and no money, when your parents start picturing how they will show off their adorable little grandchild to all their friends, they won't really care that the apartment is only 250 square-meters small. (yup, in egyo terms, 250 is small). Note that by no money we don't mean very poor - if the money is 0 then the equation won't even work, there has to be something there to work with.

3) and on to the family aspect. It's a well known fact, you don't just marry the man, you marry the family. The prospective mother-in-law is a huge part, but so is family history and lifestyle. Dubious members of the family are a huge disadvantage, while famous people, ones who have been hosted in a talk-show for example, are a huge plus. Relationships with families of past presidents or past politicians or famous people would also make a grand difference. Marrying the distant 3rd-cousin of Gamal Mubarak's brother-in-law is like winning the jackpot.

4) Perceived charm an interesting factor. A girl at the end of the day wants someone to sweep her off her feet. Why it's the perceived charm and not the actual one because the other factors can sometimes affect how a person is perceived. He can actually not be charming at all, but the cool family, pimping gifts, and/or good looks can be deceiving. The D-factor can also influence that, high d-factors can lead to resorting to make-believe charm.

5) And finally that whole equation is divided by cheapness. No body, and i mean, no body, ever wants a scrooge. No one! This is when -even in Egypt - you're better off single. Parents don't want another kid to spend on. They'd rather be stuck with a spinster than her marrying someone who will smooch off of her and them for the rest of their life. When it comes to money issues - that when it's a no go.

Now i'm pretty sure the "b-type" girl has the D-factor in her equation too, and i also think it has a similar effect. It's the other factors that would be hard to pin down.

The marriage equation

The marriage equation in Egypt is simple:

F(marriage) = Looks * money * good mother/wife * religion / previous relationships * virginity^3

If we look at the first part of the equation, this is where the more the merrier applies. You can actually do with just one, but you have to do it very well.
Lookers get rich men
Rich girls get good looking men
Good mothers/wives either hit the jackpot and get a good family man, or luck out and get the player who wants a stay at home cleaner, chef and nanny
Religious girls get religious guys

In either case, with every previous relationship your chances get a little smaller. Virginity exists then your chances get bigger, virginity doesn't exist chances get much slimmer (notice that it's to the power of 3)

Your equation determines both your chances as well as the characteristics of the man you should aim for.

Each factor deserves a separate post, but one thing's for sure, knowing your equation will take you one step closer to your diamond ring
