Such as the standards in this post:

Quote:

Many men want a Malibu Barbie who earns great money, has a great body like a Victoria's Secret model, has sex like a porn star, cooks like a 5 star Michelin chef, cleans the house like an undocumented worker and tends the children like SuperNanny....they don't want the nice girl who is maybe a 5 or 6 in looks but has many other great qualities that would lead to a satisfying relationship.

What does a 5 or a 6 look like?
What can the phrase "other great qualities" mean?

...Just wondering what my standards should be.

You standards should be be at the point where women are interested in you. This is based primarily on looks no matter what other line of BS someone tries to feed you.

All the other stuff, personality, etc does not matter until the 2 have unspokenly agreed that they are ok with the looks of each other. If you are going after women and they are straight up ignoring you then you have to bring it down a point and if they are just kinda chatting with you but its never going anywhere bring it down another notch.

Keep doing that until you are dating women who are ecstatic to be on a date with you and are willing to discuss sex within a week or 2. Anything short of that is a waste of time and money.

Then and only then can you start feeling out the personality issues to see if they are a match long term.

Since you quoted my post I must assume that you would like for me to clarify my comments.

When I say a "5 or 6" in mean women who are bit more average in appearance. Most likely they can't wear a string bikini or skinny jeans. They aren't "fat" but they aren't hot bodies either. Their faces are perhaps in the plain to slightly pretty range. maybe she looks more like Skipper than Barbie.

But, their have other great qualities. Maybe they are smart, funny, clever or witty. Maybe the woman is great with children or has a heart of gold. Maybe she tutors or volunteers her time to some worthy cause. Maybe she is loving or loyal or passionate or artistic or kind. And on and on....

I have no idea what your personal standards should be but many men need to stop thinking that nothing less than a 10 will do (especially if 10s are not interested in you). Stop thinking that the only women worthy of you are ones who will get ohhhs and ahhhs from your buddies and focus on SUBSTANCE instead.

There was a visual poster for this that I thought was awesome. I'll try to find it.

Edit-here it is.

Many of the women on that chart are mis-categorized and the commentary is misogynistic and demeaning. Not to mention racist as well.

The 1-10 rating scale is already dehumanizing but the scale is part of the topic of this thread.

I agree, women labled as 6 on that chart would be SIGNIFICANTLY above average, at least in my local area. Furthermore, they look much younger than 40, which is near the age of the average women.

It's pure crap and nonsense. If it was true then the only women out there who would have BF's, husbandsand have children would be runway models, strippers and cam girls. I'm going to a Charger game tomorrow, and rest assured there will be average women, overweight women, and women many may consider unattractive will be there with there BF's, husbands and kids.

But of course on CDR it's impossible to consider that some people of both genders are shallow as hell while many are not. Nope, generalizations are the stock and trade here. Looking at people as individuals would require a bit more mental effort than people are willing to put forth.

This is why you see all ranges of people with a significant other.
