    Whatever. I snagged my boyfriend wearing a baggy hoodie and men's trousers (I was 15-16).
    Quality over quantity, people!

    I call shenanigans. When I legally snagged my man, I was wearing a halter-top floor-length wedding dress. Two arms exposed and some cleavage. A mere 25%!

    @la.donna.pietra: Well, if it was a halter top, was part of your back not also bare? That could have upped your percentage.

    (Plus, there's cleavage and then there's CLEAVAGE. We'll need to get a look at those wedding photos, ma'am.)

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Well, yeah, but I have long hair and had it down, so most of my back was covered. I also am not quite so sufficiently endowed as to claim CLEAVAGE.

    @la.donna.pietra: After much testing that involved graphs and charts and equations with letters, I conclude this:

    You are making up for that 25% with radiant happiness.

    However, should the happiness begin to form a strange aura around you or begin to give you powers, you should immediately seek help.

    So, a short skirt and a one-arm shirt? Or I guess I can expose all four of my arms. And I always knew strapless short dresses were for (50% exposed) whores.

    It sounds like they took a review problem from a calc I book and turned it into a crappy study.

    That's not optimal man snagging. If I want to snag a man, I roofie-viagra him, then have unprotected sex. Then I get pregnant and he's MINE, all MINE! Muhahaha.

    @winner: So in a way, me displaying maximum cleavage could be a way of selecting men only in a certain height range.

    How much cleave is optimal for attracting extremely tall men?

    This formula gets complicateder and complicateder.
