Fussiness decreases with time since last action

In addition to age, your level of fussiness also decreases with the time since your last relationship/tryst. This is shown in the graph above, which shows the approximate levels of fussiness a woman slides down through as the memories of the last bit of romance/action recede. Men go through similar levels, although the slope of the line is probably much steeper! This graph implies that fussiness is inversely proportional to desperation, that is to say:

F ∝ 1/D

where:

∝=proportional to
F=fussiness
D=desperation

This stands to reason. The more desperate you are, the less fussy you are and vice versa. For this reason, you should not be in a night club at 10 to 2 with beer goggles on if it has been a considerable period of time since your last conquest. If you are susceptible to this, it may be advisable to carry a small hacksaw for the next morning on your person!
