Psycho vs. Hot - The Male's Perspective

I have been having a very deep discussion with some of my male colleagues at work lately. The topic is at what point the complete psychotic-ness of a woman outweighs her looks enough for a man to be disinterested in her.  One particular male colleague has informed me that the degree to which a man will put up with craziness is directly related to the level of hotness of a female as well as why he is interested in the woman in the first place.

Before I share what this very senior, well respected male colleague had to say, I will need to provide some essential definitions.  First off, he breaks "hot women" down into 4 categories.  Don't yell at me because of who is listed in each category - this is his opinion.

1.  Kinda hot (Think Jillian, Trista, DeAnna, Ashley from last season)

2.  Hot (Ali Fedotowsky)

3. Smokin' hot (Chantal O, Michelle Money)

4. Mind Bending Hot (Level 4) (Emily Maynard, Courtney)

Some further definitions:

"Run of the Mill" psycho - steals something of yours during a makeout so she has an excuse to see you again, calls 10 times a day, texts 20 times a day; calls your mother to kiss up when you've only been out twice; Keeps suggesting plans over and over when you have not called her in a month; Jekyll and Hyde behavior (horribly mean to other females, but sweet as sugar to object of her affection)

"Obvious Rabbit in Pot Fatal Attraction" or "Fatal Attraction" Psycho - the name says it all. Threatens to hurt your family; Kills your pets; Threatens to kill you; Leaves dead wild animals like squirrels outside of your door, etc.

Here is what this person had to say:
A.  If the man is looking for a "hot tub chick" then:

1.  Kinda hot, Hot and Smokin' hot all trump "run of the mill" psycho, but out of those 3 categories, only Smokin' Hot can trump Obvious Rabbit in Pot Fatal Attraction Pscyho.   Mind Bending Hot (Level 4) trumps any level of pscyho even if she is holding a knife like in the Chuckie movies and holds a sign saying "You are next to die."

B.  If the man is looking for longer term (i.e., engagement)

1.  Run of the mill pscyho and of course Fatal Attraction psycho trumps Kinda Hot, Hot and even Smokin' Hot

2.  But if man runs into Mind Bending Hot, see A(1) above.  We are very weak.
Bottom line here: If Ben is after a girl he can settle down with or if he just wants to have a good time and enjoy his new found fame a little longer, Courtney, despite her crazy antics, will still be in the running, even if she comes at him with a knife.

Do you agree with this theory?  If so, are you male?
