Getting a 7 is more difficult than getting a 10

I think that's pretty ridiculous honestly and really screws up the big picture of dating.

Why do we assume that one person's 10 is another's anyway?

I have a "type" that is different than most guys. My wife is a good facsimile of that type - pale skin, dark hair, dark eyes, bookish or slightly geeky looking but not too much. Think someone like the 90s MTV VJ Kennedy, or a similar look (but cuter). Most guys would consider my wife (or most other women of my type) attractive, but more "cute" or "exotic" looking, and many guys would probably not consider her as hot as Megan Fox or whoever.

However to me, and I mean this not just because she's my wife, my wife and women of her general type are usually the hottest in my mind.

So my '10' might be another man's '6' and vice versa.

It's a meaningless scale anyway.

A girl is pretty or beautiful, who cares what number you want to give her. I think things like this are just silly. Its a way for men to keep score. And I'm a man, I've dated some remarkable women, but they weren't for me, or I wasn't for them.

I am the one I need to please, and the approval of others based off the women I get, is not the thing I am looking for.

Men are more objective thinking then women are and a number merely expresses in one digit what would take a word. Not all men are the same and have different tastes. One man's 8 is another man's 6 or a 10. For example:

1. Coyote ugly
2. Really ugly
3. Ugly
4. Homely
5. Average
6. Cute
7. Pretty
8. Beautiful
9. Hot
10. Gorgeous

Obviously much more goes into a woman then what she looks like but in this thread we are talking about physical appearances. Women can give men a score, we don't care if you objectify us



Men, are you offended if a woman objectifies you?

Women are commodities.
Women are something for men to "get."
Women can be assigned a number to determine their value.

Can anyone defend this attitude as anything other than ignorant misogyny?
