Is an 8 on the hotness scale good?

[confusedgirl672]

My guy friend and I were talking about whether or not we would date each other and he asked me to rate him.
I rated my attraction to him a 2. (1 being no attraction.) And I'm pretty sure my scale is way different from a guys scale but I don't know.
He was really hurt until I explained what I meant to him. His ego was bruised though, haha.
Anyways, I asked him what I was. He was very hesitant and dodged the question until I pestered him enough. I asked him to rate me honestly, and not to give me a low rating just because I gave him a low one.
He mumbled that I was an 8.
I'm super unfamiliar with how boys rate girls. 8 sounds decent, but is it? What does 8 mean? Is it good? What are some examples of an 8?
And what are the criteria to be an 8?
Thanks in advance.

I'm fairly certain he wasn't lying. I asked him to be straight with me and on was with him.
He also tells me quite often that he can be honest with me because he knows I can handle it.

8/10

Yikes. When a girl asks that to a guy about herself he either avoids the conversation completely, rates 11/10, or says something like "1 of course, haha jk of course you're a 10". what an 8 mean from a guy to guy conversation is that your on the really hot and datable side. Anything about a 7 is hot. But girl to guy, I think he just didn't say 10 because he wanted to make you feel a little down for voting him a 2.

[confusedgirl672]

Yeah... I'm not exactly acquainted with the rating scale lol. I feel bad :/

[AhGojira]

He thinks your are attractive. Whether or not that is good depends on if you are interred in him specifically. That's his opinion of you, he doesn't represent all of mankind.

[confusedgirl672]

True

[shadowlegend]

Ugh, stop with the rating of appearances. Have more self-respect than to give a shit what numeral rating someone applies to your physical appearance. There is seriously more important things to think about.

[kbrunol]

You are nearly a 10 for him but he didn't want to uncover his crush and he played it casual and said 8

Thats why he was hurt when u said 2

[confusedgirl672]

Oh well I hope he doesn't like me
Cause I like someone else... And he knows that haha

[BelleGirl21]

I think an 8 is very good. Personally I think I'm a 6 as are most girls.

[confusedgirl672]

Yeah that's what I would think. Which is why I was shocked and wanted to know what makes a girl an 8. You know? Haha

[justbanANNAz]

the 'hotness' scale does not exist. you are beautiful. the end.

[ksoma]

No. Anything below a 9.982/10 means you look terrible.

Are you for real? On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is awful and 10 is goddess, you actually have to ask if an 8 is good?

[confusedgirl672]

I explained myself in the details
Thank you for your answer, though

[Omar5881]

It's stupid to rate beauty on just a freaking numbers

You might be really the prettiest woman in earth but you don't look alive I don't know if it means something I just know it in my langauage but beauty is like soul beauty too every heard " her beauty speaks to me " well some beauty doesn't speak that's why I don't like rating in numbers

[confusedgirl672]

True dat

[Omar5881]

But if you're classified as " 8" by the modern "people " lol then you're very beautiful young lady

[confusedgirl672]

Thank you :)

[Omar5881]

You're very welcome 😄

[Dionysos]

8 is very hot. 2 is a hideous troll. That's why he was hurt.

[confusedgirl672]

Well that makes more sense lol

[steveisbored]

An 8 means he thinks you are really attractive!! Most guys save 10 for like a celeb or something, 8 is really high especially for a friend. He prob is crushing on you lol

[confusedgirl672]

I don't know if he's crushing on me lol he knows who I like and we talk about the guy all the time
But thanks! :)

[steveisbored]

Haha that doesn't mean he's not crushing! He deff thinks you're hott

[confusedgirl672]

True I guess. Ah well if he is crushing I deff friendzoned him today so I guess I took care of that...
But now I feel bad, haha :/

[steveisbored]

Aww haha don't obviously you're not attracted to him so better he knows now whether he's crushing or just thinks you're hott so either way he knows not to try anything lol

[confusedgirl672]

True

[steveisbored]

Anyway don't wanna blow this question up if you need more advice feel free to message me!

[Cosytoasty]

On GaG 8's are handed out to every girl that asks, in real life you might see a couple of 8's a week in a city of 10 million people.

They're also generally older than 16.

[AleDeEurope]

8 is good, very good, but you're most likely not an 8. He rated you higher than what yoh are because he didn't want to hurt your feelings. You're probably a 5 or 6.

[confusedgirl672]

I rated him a 2 though? I doubt he cared about hurting my feelings considering the fact that I told him to rate me honestly and I rated him honestly. Knowing him, I'm pretty sure he didn't lie.
Anyways, what makes a girl an 8 and what's an example

[AleDeEurope]

Well, you're still a girl and rating you low is asking for trouble, he maybe didn't want to deal with the crap that comes with calling a girl average or ugly.

An example of an 8 would be Emilia Clarke (from GoT). Very attractive, quite above average, but still not the best.

[confusedgirl672]

Thanks for giving an example
And honestly I can handle it lol. Not all girls are the same. I rate myself like a 6 tbh. Was quite shocked when he said 8

[DivaMonae]

10 is perfection and a 5 is decent or average. He finds you very attractive.

[Anonymous]

Well 8 is decent for most of the guys, however, you might be his type.. in case you get that 8 from all guys then you are 8 or more!

[confusedgirl672]

Nah he said I'm not his type. When he told me 8 I was like "oh thanks!" And he was like "yeah big boobs aren't really my thing" and I was like "same" (cause I don't like em lol they're too big imo)

[Opinion Owner]

Considering you gave him a low rate, he might got offended and wouldn't tell ya.. you are his type

[confusedgirl672]

True

[DocHolliday904]

I think that "scale" is broken... rating your willingness to date someone just on how they look takes away from the value they offer as a person... just saying

[slimstiffy]

Lol. Rated him a 2 and now is insecure about being an 8.
Women...

[zagor]

Scales like this are silly and meaningless. When you get out of HS you will (I hope) realize that.

[Sojex]

1-10 is just how hot a person is. If you're an 8 then you're pretty damn up there in his eyes

[TruExo]

You gave him a 2 while he gave you an 8. Smh. Poor dude. 8 is good its above average

[Maxemeister]

Do some math. 80% on a test isn't bad! Not an A, but still a B!

[JSmuve]

Depends on what the scale is out of. An 8 out of 10 is different than an 8 out of 100.

[confusedgirl672]

Out of 10

[Gommers]

Well she's in precalc and I'm sure they haven't covered limits yet but since 2 doesn't exist and 8 is a multiple of two, well, really she's just a 1.999...

So really it's easier to just go with the real 7-10 scale that men use and consider her part of the x<6 crowd and value her a 0.

[confusedgirl672]

@Gommers wow ok then... no need to be snarky

[Gommers]

Don't worry, you'll learn all about limits in calc this year and why it's mathematically impossible to pass them. You'll get there.

[I_am_impulsive]

Yep absolutely. Although I rather not rate someone

[confusedgirl672]

Do you have an example of an 8? And what makes a girl an 8?

[I_am_impulsive]

Maybe Chloe Bennet?

[confusedgirl672]

Oh wow she's pretty. I would rate her like a 9 but that's just me lol
Thanks!

[I_am_impulsive]

Beauty is really subjective, so to each their own I suppose.

[confusedgirl672]

True

[Anonymous]

Wow you really crushed this guy by telling him he was a 2... Probably feels like crap now... Don't be surprised if he doesn't talk to you anymore...

[CapnHawk]

An 8? Well, it's better than two 4's.

[Mr_Darcy]

Ya 8 is the start of hot.

[confusedgirl672]

"The start"... meaning?

[Mr_Darcy]

As in lower figures are ugly.

[confusedgirl672]

Oh ok

[Anonymous]

if u gave him a 2, why are you friends with him in the first place?

8 is great

[confusedgirl672]

I'm friends with him. Not attracted to him. And tbh he was the one who made friends with me lol. I just kept talking to him bc I'm a friendly person

[Opinion Owner]

fake

[confusedgirl672]

Ok? Lol

[Opinion Owner]

its a fake friendship

[confusedgirl672]

How is it a fake friendship? We can be friends without finding each other attractive...

[Opinion Owner]

no, we dont associate with people we don't really think are that good looking

[confusedgirl672]

If you're shallow, sure. I have tons of ugly friends. Sometimes I gag around them but I don't say anything because they're nice people. And they deserve friendship, too

[confusedgirl672]

Ok thanks
