Default When girls ask you if they are attractive

A girl you are pretty good friends with -- and you have no intentions of ever becoming more than just friends with -- asks you how attractive she is on a scale of 1 to 10. In reality she is about a 6 -- not ugly, but not particularly gorgeous. What's your response?

If you're really friends with her, just tell her you would never answer bother trying to answer such a loaded question. Then give her a rash of [censored] about putting you in a situation like that, and tell her to never do it again.

Why the defensive response? Lots of people tell their mothers and other family members they look great, so shouldn't you be able to compliment a friend on how good she looks? That being said, no one wants to hear they are a 6, so give her an 8, or avoid the lie all together by saying something like, "I dont know, but you're very attractive in that dress."

Women like to hear they look good from everyone, that shouldn't surprise anyone. She's a friend, so give her what she wants.

Sure you can compliment a friend, but that's not the issue at hand. The OP is not offering the complement, the friend is just digging for one. Generally speaking, by digging for complements like this she knows that she may be putting the OP in a position where he/she has to either lie or hurt her feelings. Putting a friend in this position strikes be as obnoxiously manipulative, IMHO.

like you even have a female friend. Hilarious. The closest you got to having a female friend was trying to con Veronica O into pussy with a Pokerstars stake.

Tell her for you to be able to give an accurate score you will have to see her naked.

If you can only discuss something as complex and sohpisticated as feminine beauty using "scales of 1 to 10" then you shouldn't be talking to girls.

She's the one that gave those parameters, not me.

First, this is a loaded question that could become an argument. In an argument, whoever defines the terms, wins. So, step one is to change the terms. Preface with some talk about how beauty is multi-dimensional...

Then tell her she is beautiful. Be sincere.

If this feels like a lie, don't let it show. Comfort yourself with this: confidence is 90% of attractiveness and you're increasing her confidence, thereby making her more attractive, turning your statement into a self-fulfilling prophesy.
