The "shut up" as an x-value on the "compliment me" graph made me laugh probably a little more than I should have.

The question, from an econometrical perspective, would be how much of the variation across people does your model account for (ie: "what's your r-squared here?"). Or, put another way, how big is "u" in the model:
Attracted=Bo + B1*Belief in Jesus-B2*weight+B3Funny+B4Talent^2(I know this doesn't give your actual graph, but I'm not enough of an econometrician to deal with non-continuous functions yet)+B5*intelligence-B6Dogs+B7Compliments-B8Overcomplimentary+B9Money+u)...
It was at this point in writing this comment that I realized I've spent much, MUCH too much time building and testing models. Anyway, this was a fun post, thank you.
