three and half humours

I read a funny Chinese article today. The female writer, who is apparently a big fan of Hippocrates and his four humors theory, had dated a few guys but found out, disappointedly enough, that none of them was not of Choleric type. The funny part is, she concluded then that all the dating websites could have done a much better job if they would include each member's 4 humors checkup info, rather than putting too much effort in trying to trick the members revealing their 3 measurements. With the 4 humors info in hand, it can in fact be an excellent guide for social interaction, for example, do not get angry with people who have a little redundant yellow bile; do not date Phlegmatic guys; try to balance the right amount of black bile, a little more then gloomy, a little less then gaudy. And since nobody is happy anyway, this is an era marked by global collective anemia.

haha..... here is my humours profile;

phlegm: 30%
yellow bile: 30%
black bile: 30%
blood: 10%
summary: DANGER! away from the subject!

but I think I am oftenly happy. I am especially happy after a delicious fulfilling meal. Just like the way how Mosquitos feel, supremely happy when they get abundant blood supply. A question is, though, Mosquitos are really happy because they've got lots of blood or they are not happy and need blood because they actually suffer from anemia all the time?
