Explain the 3 V ratings please?

Book Guy

I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.

I don't get it. I can't understand "vampiness" and "value" and "vibe." I only know the other V, ya know, "vagina." I tried to figure them out and this is only sort-of what I can come up with, below. I keep ending up contradicting myself.

I think "value" is the most self-explanatory. If someone ranks a club LOW in "value" that means it's too expensive for him; or, it means that what he got was too little service or too little enjoyment, for the amount of money he spent. OK, got that one.

I think "vibe" is maybe just a general "I liked it" rating? Maybe? So, if someone ranks a club HIGH in "vibe" that means he enjoyed himself; LOW in "vibe" he didn't enjoy himself. Right? Maybe?

But "vampiness"? WTF? Girls and level of service? Hotness of girls? Likelihood of girls being available? I don't get that one. Enjoyability seems encompassed by "vibe" (in my theory above) whereas fuck-ability and maybe hotness-likelihood would be encompassed by "vampiness"? Maybe?

I dunno. Your thoughts welcome. Am trying to decipher the new (to me ... since I was off TUSCL for four years until this past May or April) system here. The "V"s are not in the TUSCL glossary.
