Business - The boatman was just trying to make a buck but he's slightly lower than the guy who paid the lady because he was price gowging the lady.

Friendship - Some of these are labeled poorly. How is the person who told a friend? She is a squealer/rat/tattletale and friends don't do that. She's lower than the boatman for that.

Love - This is a double misnomer because she's not a lady and people that love you don't sleep with others. The lady is the lowest of the group because she's a cheater.
I knew Radar could be counted on to get it mostly wrong. The guy left this girl because she was so desparate to be with him that she slept with another man to do so. That's bad right there.

The boatman was price gouging but do you really expect him to let her cross for free? Even if he'd charged normal price she'd not have had the money.

Yeah, the lady cheated. But it's not as if she had a _good_ choice in the scenario presented. The lowest for that? Hardly.

If the customer knew the situation, he's easily the lowest, for taking advantage of a desperate woman.

There's no right or wrong numb nuts, it's a matter of opinion and mine is as valid as yours or anyone else's.

It seems like this test is more about interpretation than it is about ranking priorities.

It seems to me that Radar's opinion makes perfect sense for him: Crisp righteous ideals regardless of messy reality, real life.

Oh brother, and the whole "lady" baggage is such a load of crap. She wins my top spot because unlike her fella she got off her high horse and took some action. The happy ending is that she's learned much about her own resolve, determination, fortitude and self-reliance. She's well rid of them all.

Although I hadn't considered the point that S was really taking advantage of the situation. I was thinking that S was just a disinterested third party who happened to want sex for money. Sure, S may be pathetic. But maybe S is just confused. But if S knows the whle story, that L needs the money to get to her love, then S's actions would be particularly bad.

either that or I'm just trying to figure out how to get closer to Ellie's score so I can flirt with her again

"S" see's a girl by the river in need of money and he's in need of a hummer. He doesn't necessarily know about the man on the other side of the river. That wasn't said, so the assumption is he doesn't know anything other than a woman is willing to bang him for a 50.

As for me, if at any point another penis enters the vagina of the woman I love (other than rape) she's not worth having anymore. Heck even if she isn't penetrated and she's with another woman it's cheating.

For me love isnt about the worth of "having", its about compassion, disillusion, trust, respect, and imperfection. You know, the real shit. A deep love can withstand and deepen through the guaranteed horrible circumstances, pain and petty jealousy, too.
