So, kind of pointless really.
Gay men don't make "strong moves" on me. They may tell my friends that I'm hot though. However, I am not exposed to many gay men to know for sure ("fairly often" meaning on the few occasions that I'm exposed to them, I may get hit on).

Also, as previously stated, I'm a small guy so I'm thinking that they think that I would make a good fem or something.

Well, it bothers me.

I'd rather have someone in my league that values me than someone much better looking than me that settled for me. So that's why I only hit on women in my league. Even that doesn't work a good portion of the time.
Op I originally disagreed with you but I do agree with this. I would hate to be the guy some girl "just settled for". But honestly I have alot of guy friends of varying attractivness and I have come to the conclusion that its all about how you approach a girl. I have a short friend (5'5) about average looking and he dates imo very attractive women sometimes even taller than him. I also have a guy friend who alot of women would consider "hot"....this guy strikes out alot mostly because he tries too hard. I'm not saying attractiveness for women doesn't matter but I think they use a different "scale" than men do. I wouldn't know where I am on this scale nor do I care. I approach who I approach and if I get rejected....on to the next one...life goes on.

I don't find him attractive normally, but like me some Legolas.

And this is why I don't really understand why any of this matters. A woman is going to see you how she is going to see you. She is either going to be attracted to you or she isn't. She is either going to like your personality or she isn't. Deciding where you fit on some number scale isn't going to change any of that.
It matters in the sense that you know who you should be going after and who you shouldn't. It also matters in whether or not you should just give up and not even bother because you are too unattractive.

I'd say a guy that is 4 or below should just stop trying because he will get so few women, and will get such disrespect from the women that he does get, that it's not even worth it.

Well, if ugly people didn't procreate there would be no ugly people anymore. They would have been bred out.

I see lots of unattractive people in relationships. But if your theories make you feel better.... carry on.

This is just a bunch of BS. You should go after who you are attracted to. You stated before that you would have a big problem with being the guy that some woman "settled" for - yet you are basically saying that you are only going to go after women that you would be "settling" for because you aren't attractive enough to get the women you are really attracted to. My ex boyfriend is 5'6", not very built, has a big nose - but is one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet. EVERYONE loves him. I was his first long term girlfriend. All of his girlfriends have been beautiful, smart, and talented. His wife is taller than him and very attractive. But I guess he should have consulted this "scale" before deciding who he should go for. And by the way - I found him very attractive when I was dating him.

I would be offended if I found out that some guy was only going for me because he thought I was just attractive enough. You want someone to think you're hot stuff? Well, so does the woman who has a relationship with you.

I never said that I don't find women in my league attractive. I certainly do. But I also find women out of my league attractive, but I don't go for them because there's no point.

Also, you basically said that your ex is able to make up for his lack of physical issues by being very funny and very charismatic. He has to compensate. If this is his natural personality, then good for him. If not, do you think that he will be able to keep it up long-term? Probably not.

Of course this is his natural personality. My point isn't that he has to make up for anything. My point is that people are more than just a number. A number isn't attractive. A person is. And a person is made up of more than just their outer shell.
