The Tool Chart

I cannot take all the credit for this flawless system of determing whether or not boys are date material or not. In one of our multiple senior years of college, Vicky & I (with some help and inspiration from CarrotTop) came up with this brilliant system of [somewhat] objectively determing whether boys were simply worth it or not.
All too often, girls will have blinders on whilst dating and no matter how many times their friends tell them 'he's a tool', she will continue on in a relationship with a boy whom she will later be disgusted by the fact that she even went out with once. Or, maybe she is unsure about the guy and needs to weigh the pros and cons. Well, here is the unbeatable system of determining if you really have found Mr. Right.
And while I personally think this criteria is universal and infallible, some may change the categories of the tool chart to fit their own preferences. Be warned however, trying to change the tool chart criteria while in the relationship often means you've got a case of the blinders, and you're just trying to rationalize. Think about it.
Simply fill out the columns and add up the points, it's that simple.

And a little tool chart guide for you:
20+ = TOOL CITY- what were you thinking!?
12+ = DUMP HIM
6-12 = VAMOS A VER
0-6 = MARRY HIM!
