Less than 0: A classic recluse, you won't attract anybody if you stay home. Investigate your reasons for shunning social interaction and seek professional help if you can't beat the fear. 

0-5: Unless they're looking for a shy person, your timidity could be keeping you lost in the crowd. Start practicing smiling at strangers while you wait for your morning latte. Or say "hi" to someone in the elevator. The sooner you can break out of your shell, the sooner potential dates will notice you.

6-10: The only thing you're in danger of attracting is an STD. If all you want is physical companionship, keep up the good work. If you want to attract someone looking for an actual relationship, stop focusing on the scene and start focusing on the rest of your life.

11-15: You're so busy looking for someone just like mom or dad that you could be missing someone wonderful. Broaden your lens or you could be living with mom and dad — alone.

16-20: Masquerading as anything but your true self only results in meeting people who aren't truly right for you. Nor should you have such high expectations of potential mates. Adjust your goals and your standards and you'll be more likely to find a good match.
