TROY POWERS' POWER TEST FOR BABES

Inspired by Cooijmans' Test for Interested Females, a pioneering opus of tremendous import, I, Troy Powers of Lubbock, TX, USA, offer an alternative. First, let me suitably laud the Cooijmans' masterpiece and be quick to mention that the Power Test for Babes is not offered as a substitute. Mr. Cooijmans' test is, to my knowledge, the first test published on the Internet which begins to incorporate abilities (see note 1) which correlate less well with general intelligence, yet without which we would be little more than gooey brain matter. Further, the stated purpose of the Cooijmans' TIF is to act as a Paul's initial sieve or thresher, separating eligible and usable wheat from ineligible and unusable chaff as a precursor to courting. It is, therefore, tailored to Mr. Cooijmans' personal tastes. It can not help but be biased, and of course is intended to be biased. Mr. Cooijmans is far too skilled a test designer to create malfunction. Whether or not the Cooijmans' TIF has been influenced by Universal Truths, I can't say. In other words, has Mr. Cooijmans' consulted Judge Qoymans and obtained some "universal" standards? Judge Paul Qoymans' purview is "ethical, moral, judicial, or punitive", however, so I rather doubt it. Even if this is so, and the Cooijmans' TIF operates in its entirety as a universally pure benchmark, my new POWER TEST FOR BABES is not offered as a replacement of any kind. Recognizing that men's taste is highly variable, prone to prejudices of all kinds, hardly universal and perhaps even capricious; this test measures only what I, Troy Powers, know a whole lot about - my life as a ladies' man. Let me stress once more, the TPPTB in no way: Competes with, augments, or substitutes for the TIF and the purpose for which it was designed.
