 This is honestly a bit of an odd scale, since it mixes together things like commitment, availability, and feelings about mating together in a way that makes them difficult to untangle, and also [[dc2:offspring]] as a proxy for commitment, despite being also covered in a different tag.

-One can use both of the above in separate tags to specify both mating statuses, but one can also use a short-form method by just putting the **r** and **v** parts within parentheses.
