Yes, but my point is, if you read posts here you realize there are a lot more people willing to settle for a tidbit of attention like the 8/9ers than admit. Sure, few admit to it, but when it comes down to it, some are just willing to settle that way.

OK. Then we'll file it under "being distracted by wishful thinking"!

You know, this local 1-10 scale never fails to amaze me, even though I admit to being somewhat shallow. I wish somebody gave me a pictorial once with examples of each step of this scale!

There is no worse feeling in the world than being with someone who doesn't want you.

Ha-ha, thanks for the effort! Some are not quite to my taste from 5 up (that's individual) and I can't see one picture, but it can be done, I suppose... Alright, point taken!

Vote if you want to be anonymous
Depends.

If I were to get married or have a long term relationship I would choose

For reasons of FWB, FB, and just lovers I would choose

We can reach an agreement on #10 , but most in between (say between 5 & 7) can be perceived as higher or lower numbers depending on taste.

Seriously we are now grading human beings looks, like they are cuts of beef?

Oh well, back to insulting Massachusetts and Texas, for me.
