I always thought rating people was really ridiculous and immature.
It can make people feel really small and inferior to those with higher ratings. I don't like being compared to ANYONE, and it offends me that someone would see me as a number rather than a person. It doesn't suprise me in the least that people would do this but it is sad. If I think someone is attractive, they are attractive to me. If not, same thing.
Same applies to me, some find me attractive and some don't. Some people just aren't that into you or think you are all that good looking, while to someone else you'll look like a god/goddess.
... although even that's kind of silly since we don't all agree on who's attractive and who isn't. But how do you rate the overall person as a 6 versus a 4?.... Again, what does this even mean?.... IMO, anyone who reduces people down to such simplistic terms probably isn't cut out for dating.... For one, they probably don't know how to assign a score to themselves...
I will first state what should be obvious from my profile name... I am a guy. Most, better than 90%, of guys will agree fairly closely on where a women falls on the ten scale. It is based entirely on looks, dah! Of course there are personal preferences (race, hair color, body type, etc...), but an objective person can see beyond that. For example, I don't find Kim Kardasian attractive, but I recognize that she is at least a 9 to a lot of men. I guess more than 90% of men are not cut our for dating you then, ok. Of course men assign a score to themselves, and so do rational women, whether it is accurate is a completely different issue.

I'm pretty sure that no one ever considered this to be a 100% perfect indicator... come on .. Obviously it's all relative, I'm pretty sure there isn't a single person who thinks it isn't.
Also, with or without a "1-10 scale", people will always compare looks... it's just life.
One thing that's pretty common on this and similar forums is seeing guys who rate women on a 1-10 scale. Now, I can understand rating someone's looks in this way, although even that's kind of silly since we don't all agree on who's attractive and who isn't. But how do you rate the overall person as a 6 versus a 4? I read one post recently where the person said a woman who was a 6 shouldn't be holding for a guy who's an 8 or 9. Again, what does this even mean? I personally don't think of people in terms of whether they're a 5 or a 2 or a 10. I look at the whole person and decide if they have the qualities I'm looking for. IMO, anyone who reduces people down to such simplistic terms probably isn't cut out for dating. For one, they probably don't know how to assign a score to themselves. And even if they did, they'd probably never be happy with someone because they'd always be looking for a 10.
What's not to understand? When guys use the 1-10 scale, they're talking about a woman's looks. 10 being a perfect score, absolutely beautiful. A 0 or a 1 would be somebody you wouldn't be caught dead with. Why wouldn't people measure other people's looks? We measure everything else about people, their height, their weight, their intelligence, their athletic ability. As for the bolded part, that's just ridiculous. Whether you like it or not everybody gets judged by their looks.

I have no expectations of ever landing a 10. I'm not even sure I've ever met a 9 or 10. It's all subjective though. I'm attracted to guys who I consider to be above average in looks, so that would be in the 6-8 range, though I still date 5s.
