How is it everyone on this board says they make 250 thousand a year have big homes and a beautiful wife and run 15 flat 5ks

In person.

Photos can be misleading--one looks 7-10 lbs. heavier (wider) on film because of the projection to a 2-dimensional medium. Fashion models were often so thin in person, but looked right on film, whereas commercial models could be 8.5 - 9.0 in person, but maybe 7.5 in a photo.

Agree about more beautiful women in CA.

Our household income is north of 500k.

My wife is very beautiful and smart.

I really, really suck at 5k but I did sneak a sub 14 back when Reagan was President.

I have two Porsche 911’s and a seven figure value house.

BUT I am most proud of my immediate family of 3 kids and wife, and my amazing friends. Those above statements are really just window dressings.

Family and friends trump all that other crap.

If you did win the Pre-mile in 1991, as your username suggests, then because many Canadian women are really hot, so that doesn't count in your case.

That's interesting about how appearance differs between photo, video and in person. I wouldn't have thought weight would be the key factor though.

I wasn't saying there were more beautiful women in CA. I was saying that your numbers implied that literally all the beautiful women 18-25 would be pursuing acting or other careers where good looks were either a requirement or a major factor in success. You'd literally never see beautiful women on college campuses, or working regular jobs in regular towns.

There are clearly thousands of such women, so your numbers are a big underestimate.

I'm assuming in a country of 350m people there are roughly 17.5m women aged 18-25. So according to your proportions, there are 17,500 beautiful, 1,750 stunning and 175 drop dead gorgeous.

That is how I rate, and because of that, there seems to me to be a much higher concentration of exceedingly attractive women out near Hollywood.

If your rating is close to how those who post on this site assess women's appearance, then I understand why so many think their wife is so beautiful.

So...what's the female equivalent of infamous LRC sub 15/hot wife/250k+ a year?

If you're measuring women the same way:

Sub 17/hot husband/250k+ a year?

If you're assuming women are gold diggers maybe something like:

Irrelevant/not ugly/Husband earns 500k a year?

There might be a higher concentration near Hollywood. But how many are there? Wouldn't there be close to 17,500 there alone?

How many beautiful 18 year olds does the typical high school have? Or if it's less than 1, how many high schools would you typically visit before finding one?

How many beautiful women does the typical university have? Surely with the exception of some small institutions, most would have at least one.

I didn't see an 8.5-9.0 until my freshman year of college.

One woman I saw as a freshman would rate 9.5, and she was rated an 11 by the other guys in the dorm.

If you saw one 8.5-9.0 and one 9.5 in college, that suggests your estimates are way off.

There would be approximately 1,750 8.5s, so fewer than 1 per college even if they were all college students.

175 9s, so probably none in college at all.

If there were only 175 9s in the whole country, how many 9.5s do you think there are in the whole country? (As you say 8s are top 0.1%, 8.5s top 0.01% and 9s top 0.001%, I'm assuming 9.5s are top 0.0001%, which would mean there are around 18 of them in the US, and only a few hundred in the whole world). But you've seen 5 or 6, and one of them was in college?

Well, I actually married an American woman, so....,

And yes, I won the Pre mile in 1991, probably the weakest year on record, but I had a close third in 88, in a pretty stellar field.

And I still got to do that victory lap at Hayward Field during the Pre Classic in 91.

Honestly, I think it just became a meme.

There are a lot of affluent posters with good jobs, intelligence and so on here though.

"How is it everyone on this board says they make 250 thousand a year have big homes and a beautiful wife and run 15 flat 5ks"

Because they've got intelligence, good looks and running talent.

Fortunately I've also got all three in spades, hence I earn $750,000 a year have a big home and a holiday home, a stunning wife and mistress and run sub 14 minutes for 5k.

Then again I suppose that means I'm not a typical LRer.
