This is the only pic of her I can find, a scanned polaroid on some douchbag's blog.

The pic is from the end of senior year of HS, in spring 2001. I banged her in the begining of senior year.
I did not use a condom. My dick did not fall off, nor did she get pregnant. (for the dude in the other thread.)

Background info: She "got around" in HS, and the dude who's blog I found her pic on was a chemistry teacher at the school who also banged her. (He was in his mid 20s).

Please rate from 1-10

Thanks

i don't know if this counts since you didn't date her (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=3621275&page=&view=&s b=5&o=&vc=1), but ironic anyway.

I told you, he's a douchbag. He's not a teacher anymore though, so I doubt he could get into much trouble. He doesn't say on the blog he slept with her.

Not bad. Pic makes her face look bad but she's pretty fit and the ta-tas are very nice. I bet she's one of those chicks that has great days and lousy days. I dated a chick like that once. Half the time I couldn't keep my hands off her, the rest of the time she was pretty much locked in the basement.

I got a PM that I should post the blog, but it's nothing that would be interesting, mostly a photography blog, the guy's an amatuer photographer. The pic was just on a page that says "Random photos from 2001" I found it by chance about 6 months ago.

I kind of felt like that, certain people don't photograph well. If she's a cool chick I might have gone after her too. Of course most people on 2+2 will probably want to slag off anyone that hasn't been in Playboy, but I'd say you did okay, considering what an ugly lowlife you are.

Based on that pic, she could be a little heavy and so-so face, like a 5. Or she could have a pretty nice body and a pretty face, like an 8. So, I'll split the difference at like 6.5 .

I suspect you're defending this girl to show your support of OP. That's BS. He asked us to rate her and I'm gonna rate her. I respect him and his posts, but that doesn't make this girl any better. Kind of fat, but that wouldn't be a problem if her face wasn't so round and ugly. Even assuming this is a bad pic of her, she could only max out at about a 4 and I can still find a fold.

10-10-2005, 12:40 AM
boobies... my standards are VERY LOW... this girl is like a 10+! She is under 200lbs, has all her teeth, probably is not married, and she had nice boobies. i'd do her, and alot worse. i wouldn't even turn out the lights or feel shamefull the next day. Believe me, there are those nights when i will get back to my place and do shot after shot after shot until i am about to puke, make sure the lights are off, wrap it up and take one for the team. I am your ultimate wing man.

I'm not defending anyone. She is not fat. Her face is a little round but it is not ugly. A clearer and upclose picture could go either way though.

I made my post because I think that people are that posting like you are, are trying to look like some kind of super pimp on the internet. If you aren't banging models then I really don't see how you could rate her so low.

This whole "rating out of 10" thing needs to stop. Nobody wants to read posts like the one above, much less read them over and over.

Either establish a more concrete scale for OOT - something like a 1 is in the bottom 10% of the population, or something more qualitative like "has only one redeeming feature" (ala Tucker Max) - or slip back to something more binary, such as "I'd hit it."

Key in all of this, however, is that posts like the one above just plain suck. They do nothing to improve discussion or make a significant contribution. They simply provoke another idiot to retort with, "No way! Definitely a 7!" and then other idiots chime in with their numbers, and nothing constructive ever happens. Elaboration on why she received the rating she did is critical, and keeps threads like this from degenerating into a bunch of no-content posts. Respond, "I'd hit it, because..."

If I can take 5-10 minutes to explain why I think the above post sucks, and offer suggestions for improving threads like this in the future, surely the rest of you can take 2-3 minutes and implement at least the elaboration part of my suggestions.

I agree. Many women have attractive attributes without having conventional 'beauty' - might be the eyes, might be the curve of the face, might be the walk, might be the smile. Some women look quite plain at first, and then each time you see them again, they get more and more beautiful. Rating em is a boy's game.

I kind of felt like that, certain people don't photograph well. If she's a cool chick I might have gone after her too. Of course most people on 2+2 will probably want to slag off anyone that hasn't been in Playboy, but I'd say you did okay, considering what an ugly lowlife you are.

Yeah, a 6 on OOT is like a 9 anywhere else.

Based on that pic, she could be a little heavy and so-so face, like a 5. Or she could have a pretty nice body and a pretty face, like an 8. So, I'll split the difference at like 6.5 .

Very hard to tell how cute she is from the picture. Especially hard to tell how heavy she is, since her arm is over her belly and she's just got a black haze of a skirt from the hips down.

Damn nice boobs though. I'm guessing she's a 6.5 who could easily be a 7.5 on another day.

I'd definitely do her, but I think first I'd like her to get a few nights sleep, eat well, get some fresh air -- just look less depressed. She looks like she thinks life really sucks. I wouldn't want to poke the bone in her and have her burst into tears or something. I could wind up traumatized or something.

Am I reading you correctly? It sounds like you're bragging about not using a condom.

I only mentioned it because of this (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&amp;Board=exchange&amp;Number=3626977) thread, that was posted right before mine.

it looks like a floral (or some kind of print) skirt to me. ?

p.s. i think she is pretty, but this thread is pretty lame.

I'd give her a 7 out of pity for you...since I am sure from the pic she was one of those girls who wrote crappy, tortured poetry about how awful her upper-middle class suburban life was.
