It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, that link took me to phonetrace.org, was that what it was supposed to do?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, goddammit! I totally thought she was kidding, she is not.
I'm finally totally up front about my link and it's some weird cry-wolf thing, huh?
I'm guessing you didn't put in a number, quester.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
humans are pre-disposed to be attracted to beauty.
Actually, we're pre-disposed to be attracted to symmetry. The more symmetrical the person's face/body, the fewer genetic abnormalities.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita's link was wrong, and traumatic, and still kind of funny.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm pretty damn symmetrical, and yet, it's not really working out for me.
I can't believe people click ita's links. I mean, she even WARNS people, and yet, I see people clicking the links.
What gives? You're all the same people who slow down to look at accidents on the opposite side of the freeway, right?
Next time traffic is at a standstill for no particular reason, I'll think to myself, Somewhere a few miles up the freeway, bon bon is clicking one of ita's links. Fucking rubbernecking link-clicking bon. She does this every morning on the 405.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wasn't beauty more currency for the privileged? I'd imagine, for men whose wives had to do stuff for everyone to get by, indicators of their practicality would be better currency--what is then attractive is what suits them best for the task. Childbearing hips, perhaps, or strong hands for working in the fields.
I doubt it. I don't think there are many old ballads or folk tales or poems about the guy who gets lucky and finds a nice sturdy bride. I could be wrong, but I don't know of any, "Oh, shallst I e're be worthy of her excellent threshing?"
