Does this diagram hold true?

Kinda. What the f'uck is NULL SET supposed to mean?

Charts are fun.

The diagram does make sense, but it's not very accurate for a lot of people. It's based on what people want to believe they'd go for (someone smart and attractive) but it doesn't always work in the way they plan. For some people it holds true, for some it doesn't. The fact that "marriage potential" is so close to "null set" is enough to throw this off. As if most people actually have the standards to place marriage potential so close to impossible, especially when there's divorces left and right nowadays and it's more and more common for first marriages to not work out (like first relationships hardly ever work out).

And the mental attraction zone needs to take "relationship temptation" out from the top. If someone is really really smart and ugly, most people wouldn't want to be with them regardless. In fact, they may be too smart for their own good. Intelligence is nice but a lot of people are intimidated by intelligence that's too high. Perhaps if the person reading this diagram had an intelligence level as high as the person that'd be at the top, but even then I'm sure they'd rather go with someone a bit more average in intelligence and having more looks before they even think about being in a relationship with someone with Steven Hawking intellect and a face like Muk.
