Circumstantial Hotness 

Share definition Flag
An individuals attractiveness changes due to the circumstance they are in. A change in a 1-10 scale rating often occurs. Applies for both women and men.
1) Becky is a 7 in the real world, but is the most attractive at the office. Due to circumstantial hotness, many of her male co-workers believe she is easily a 9 out of 10.

2) A boat crashes on a deserted island. Cynthia was the only female on board, and now the only female on the island. All the males who were on the boat, originally thought Cynthia was an average looking girl when she first got on. Now after being on the island for a few days, all the men believe Cynthia is the most attractive person they have ever seen because of circumstantial hotness.

3) Cassandra is normally an 8 on a 1 to 10 scale and is normally found to be attractive. Cassandra attends a party with a large group of other women who are much better looking than Cassandra. Cassandra appears to be less attractive, and therefore experiences a decrease in scale rating by the men at the party, and thus less guys try to be with her that night. This is circumstantial hotness.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
