Rating, Grading and all that good stuff

I like numbers. I like to quantify everything. I like to plan in terms of numbers. Even my thoughts are bullet points with numbers. One other thing I like to do with numbers is rate.

In this spirit how does one rate a person. How do I rate me. Besides what are the standards. If I am the standard maker most things around me would be sub par. Most people would be sub par. The same standards applied to me would make me subpar.

Then can the standards be rigged. Can I cheat or should I consider myself subpar. For example I consider the following qualities desirable or likable in my opinion:

1. Intelligence
2. Being articulate
3. Goal oriented
4. Charm
5. Cannot be stereotyped
6. Fit
7. Authoritative
8. Ambitious
9. Free of all complexes
10. Humorous

I have only 5 of these 10 qualities. Would this make me subpar in my own opinion or am I compromising when it comes to me.

Anti-Partner

Yesterday , Sunday was my second week of Salsa classes. It was fun. But it also made me extremely conscious of the fact that I am single, not part of couple. I want to learn the dance form but I think it is just going to get worse. Because we are made to practice in class with a partner. So I end up pairing with a total stranger and have to wait my turn because there always seem to be more single women then men. I wonder why??

But I am not going to let it stop me. There are three more classes to go. I am going to go to every single one of them and learn what I set out learn. If every single time I feel out of place or awkward, too bad. I have to learn and get used to this lifestyle sometime. Let this be the time.
