I chose 10, and it's been consistently 10 for over 13 years. Sure, I can think of some minor improvements now and then, but to complain would be petty.
I have a feeling the 10's are the people who give advice here, while the 1's are the people who are always asking for advice from the 10's, but never accepting it once they get it. Some people just prefer to be unhappy, apparently.
I disagree. Don't underestimate the power of those that voted "1."
Many including myself have a lot of relationship experience to offer worthwhile advice.
I only voted "1" by request of 2 posters but there should have been an option for zero. It's not a preference either. Some like myself are not able to get there, at least not at this time...

I too only voted 1 and have never asked for advice here. The reason I voted 1 is because, while I've had relationships, right now I am not in one (but want to be and am still optimistic). But it kind of has to be a 1 if I vote. Maybe I shouldn't have voted though--I wondered about that afterwards. My non-relationship status might skew the votes.

Fair enough. I was just referring to how this forum has a lot of people who are constantly complaining about how bad their love lives are, but when given suggestions never actually want to change anything. I didn't mean to imply that everyone who voted "1" is in that category, but I would still bet there is significant overlap.

All that would do is change a 10-point Likert scale to an 11-point, which doesn't really change anything much.

I can't argue with you there--that makes a lot of sense too.

oh, yeah, no. I've never asked for advice on here, and I didn't vote because there isn't a number low enough.
I've given advice, too, and I bet my advice was just as good, if not better, than some of those who voted 10.
Men have to be the proactive ones. So generally if a man doesn't go out and approach women he has no shot, I mean no women are going to go out of there way and approach you anyway. Women don't have to do anything but just go out in public and put themselves in social situations
Sure...if you're a really attractive woman. I spent a few hours today just wandering around the city, had lunch, stopped in for a beer at a nice bar and then read a book in the park for a bit.
Said hello to a few people but no, I didn't get approached or even have a conversation started. If you're not a super attractive woman you're not going to just 'put yourself in public' and have guys crawling all over you.
Well, I did have a very young kid (13, 14 years old?) tell me that my **** looked nice...so I guess that's something.

I didn't vote because there isn't a number low enough.
I'm still perplexed by how many people are saying this. By definition, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 is the worst it can possibly be, and 10 is the best it can possibly be. There is no lower or higher than the end points of the scale, same as if the scale were from - 10 billion to + 10 billion.
Is there something about the scale that doesn't feel right? Would it feel better psychologically (even though it would have the same mathematical significance) if it were a scale of -5 to +5 or 0 to 9 instead of 1 to 10?
Or do you want it to have more than 10 points on the scale, to allow for more specificity? Like maybe -50 to +50?
These are honest questions. Maybe one of you could post a poll with a scale that feels better to you, so more people would vote?
Being the perfectionist I am....I'd give it a 9 just because I'm always looking for ways to improve things.
