Continuing the rating discussion...

[Georgia Avenue]

OP:

I shouldn't rate women...not becuase it's wrong, I just know I have idiosyncratic tastes. So my answer satisfies no-one.

Here's what I mean:
When people ask for a rating of their own gf/friend/prospect they're saying: "is this chick pretty by the standard definition?" They're hoping for a yes. So the people who answer are trying to be nice, (often unconsciously) by rating them high. Similarly, when rating professional models, porn stars, etc…the raters are judging the pix as DEFINITIONS of beauty rather than examples. Hence-- the harder judgments.

This goes along with what I've heard from psychologists (well, the one that I know…), that men, while they may rate women’s appearance harshly when being hypothetical, when it comes to the real women that they know and have relations with, have MUCH lower standards. With women it’s the opposite…they may claim that a man’s appearance isn’t that important, but they have very definite standards and types and care about what their girlfriends find attractive. Generalizations, yeah, but it sounds right to me.

This being said: I <3 fatchicks, and I don’t even care. So discount my ratings from now on… [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

it's weird, every beautiful woman that has come into my life has been when i wasn't looking or trying (my gf is an example).

i have always been against "game," to me "game" is for picking up the last call whores at a bar. or maybe i just don't understand the definition of "game," i am an advocate of being yourself.

yeah that's usually the best game. I just meant it as your approach towards a girl you are interested in

Good point, make up and photo touch up makes a big difference.


Compare a publicity still and the sidewalk shot that shows up in the National Enquirer, and you would think they are two different people.

You guys sound like a bunch of girls. I can see a bunch of big beer cans falling from the sky on you.

I think the problem most people have with rating systems is they don't get to see what the guy considers a minimum number to bang. I personally rate pretty strict, and don't think I've ever given a girl a ten.

I would bang anything six or higher on my own scale, lower if enough alcohol were involved. When I rate a girl a six, I hear people say "Are you crazy, I would bang her twenty ways to sunday?!?!?!"

Well yes, me too.

But she's still a six.

not cool of her to ask for a rating....and did she say she's the hottest or you've admitted that to her?

I have a good relationship with my g/f. Best I have ever had. It's not a big deal, see, I insult her all the time. I don't mean I am condescending to her, because I am not, but when she asks me what I think of such and such a dress and what not I tell the truth. And the truth is not all clothes look good on all women, regardless of how well they fit the person or the size of the person... the point is I am man enough to tell it like it is when she asks and she is woman enough to take the things I say for what they are worth and not what most women would twist my words them into. And yes it is awesome to have that kind of freedom and I wouldn't trade what I have with her for anyone. It is truly priceless.

And yes, I told her she was the best, hottest piece of ass I'd ever had, which was true when I told her and is still true now. It's good for her ego and good for my wang.

Men are still pigs.

I think the rating your girl got was very generous. You gave us a bad picture - it was hard to see what she is really like. Did you do that on purpose?

The scale is min 0, max 10, mean 5 and StDev 1.5. Could this be any clearer?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you have to be more specific by saying that 95% of all women should fall between a rating of 2 and 8

MelK, def agreed that is you know her, her rating must go up

tdarko, i've actually heard that its better to hang out with more attractive people, but this may be just for guys

Yes, I am harsh when it comes to grading women. Yes, I would probably sleep with any woman over a 5.
