Whale Potential 

A girl that is not overweight at present, but shows great potential to get fat. This is usually best observed in skinny women with huge "cankles." The theory being that God gave her big calves and ankles to support future weight gains.

R: Nah. We'll probably hook up later in the week.

perceived potential 

Something anticipated or hoped for without any solid proof or promise.

You hire someone based on their perceived potential, only later you get a solid proof of their capabilities or promise.

When you pursue a girl, you want to date her based on perceived potential of her in your life. Only later you find out who she really is and if it's a good fit or not.

Before you move to a new location (city, area, country), the city has certain perceived potential in your mind. Only after living there for a while, you validate your hopes or assumptions.
