like you realize that 5/10 is average right? average is not bad. so even 6/10 is still pretty damn good. so why is it that women start getting butthurt at 7/10?
People want to hear that they’re uncommonly attractive, I think. Or they just have an inaccurate sense of relatively-objective attractiveness.
I saw a rating scale somewhere, might’ve been on Reddit or something, and it was like a harsher rating scale, which I certainly had some qualms with some of the examples shown, but overall was maybe a little more realistic than the “anyone who isn’t decidedly ugly gets at least a 7.” This is more like what I’d expect a modeling agent to be trained with, like it’s critiquing facial proportions and overall feature-harmony, and you’ll see someone pretty good looking as everyday folks go, but someone would be like “nope…underdeveloped maxilla, 4.7”, and I’m like “what does that even fucking mean?”😂 Reminded me of like 5-10 years ago when that Channing Tatum dude was hot in the streets, and my girl was always like “EW, his eyes are too close together.” She has all this good stuff to say about me too, and I’m like “I appreciate it, but if you think I’m better looking than that dude, you’re tweaked”, lmao.”
But yeah, anyway, that one harsh scale I saw, it was tough, but sometimes you’d kind of be like “ok, that’s fair”, and it was somewhat refreshing to see someone you’d maybe call a Hollywood 7/8 get a 5.2. But then the ones who scored highly were names I didn’t recognize and I assume are just models, and they were almost weird looking, some of them. Like the dudes, their faces were almost too chiseled, to the point where they started to look funny. Same with some of the women. Adriana Lima was high up, I guess I wouldn’t argue that, but some of the others, I’m like the actress you said was a 5.5 is hotter than her, what are we doing here?
So, I say all that to say that that’s not the scale most of us work with, and we’re not harshly critiquing models, we’re dealing with everyday people. We don’t live in the modeling world surrounded by beautiful people, we’re standing in the 20 Items Or Less line at Walmart sandwiched between a couple of ogres, lmfao. All the model-quality folks have been culled from the population and have been swept off to NYC and Paris, etc, and now the rest of us are standing around like “damn, I look GOOD”, haha. So that throws off our own perception, coupled with our own subjective biases, and we’re all probably under- or over-rating ourselves and others relative to this situation.
So maybe a 5.5 in the grand scheme of the entire population is good, on the better side of average. But we want to hear we’re 8+, we aren’t even satisfied with regular-good-looking🤦♂️😂 And I think most people are too polite to really say the truth, so when somebody actually does, it’s jarring.
I don't do ratings because there is no template. There is no standard of measurement. It's purely subjective. So why would I make some girl feel insecure by giving her a lower rating? That's why I don't give 0-10 ratings.
I don't find some celebrities that are supposed to be beautiful to be attractive at all.
There are girls who ask people on GAG to rate them. I might find those girls absolutely adorable. Nothing wrong with their looks at all. But guys rate them 5.5 or 7.5 and it can only serve to make those girls feel like there is something wrong with them.
Of course, it's rather masochistic to ask for a rating in the first place.
I’m a 5/10 overweight.
And I’m a good 8/10 at healthy weight.
Any chick that says she’s a 10/10 is trolling. And you know it. No such thing. She would have to be a supermodel that literally can look like a model without any makeup on. Most women in general are pretty. A small number of them are not, at any weight. They just have bad genetics.
I feel like many women also say they’re 10/10 as a form of rejection towards certain men.
Not necessarily that they think they’re hot. But that’s their way of telling you they won’t settle or that they ain’t looking your way. Subconsciously. Same goes for the;
”You need to be 6-foot, 6-Pack, 6-Figures, 6-inches”
This is all just a rejection specifically towards certain men. For example, if you make good money. A woman would rather say you need to make 6-figures to obtain her. It’s a subtle way of saying she doesn’t want you. Even if you make good money. It’s like she’s making it impossible for you to obtain her. That’s all it is. They don’t necessarily believe they’re models and 10/10. They just find different ways to reject certain guys.
u Lol I don't give af who thinks what about me or my looks. I am not vain enough to ask people to rate me like some of the girls I have noticed here that are constantly seeking reassurance they are pretty or whatever. If someone says Maya you aren't even 5/10 you know what I think to myself? OK dude without a profile pic I don't really care because I have a beautiful girlfriend and the only opinion that I care about is hers. There are so many rate me sites out there I don't even know why it exists here. Doesn't seem to fit the site in my opinion.

Because a lot of women live in a fantasy world believing everything they’re told growing up. That they’re cute, pretty, perfect princess. Their friends reinforce this, so do their parents but when reality hits they wonder why aren’t men hitting on them. So to compensate for that they blame the men, that’s something wrong w us because everyone’s told them they’re God’s gift to men.
m Two possible answers:
Someone asked you to rate them: I guess those that do, are so focused on their appearance that they are convinced everyone things they are super good looking. If that is the case continue to rate them however you like they need to learn.
If you rated them, without them being asked to be rated: You express yourself as a shallow person. Its not high enough to be only taken as a compliment (which might work for some) and it feels like being reduced to your looks. I hate ratings of looks. I won't do the rating nor want to be rated, even if some people might thing 10 would work as a compliment. It compliments something which is not super important and not specific enough to actually be taken serious. It just sounds childish.
some people use the 1 - 10 scale differently, like its body + face for some people (so if for those people you say they're a 7 they'll think they're just kinda cute face wise or have a bleh body and so they can be offended) or their 7 means a 6 in most people's books so they can also get upset. why people get upset over that is that well looks matter a lot and no one wants to be average looking or just kinda cute, everyone wants to be HOT. though ironically most people who get offended about being rated that aren't even kinda cute to begin with haha
So much value is placed on a woman’s looks and everyone wants to feel/think that they’re beautiful. The truly unattractive girls usually know that they are without being rated and getting higher is a feel good. I just don’t see the point in rating people in general tbh. It can really crush someone’s self esteem especially if you’re getting a four or less.
Rating people is so weird and the fact that I’m our culture it’s become normalized is worrying. Like I’m a human being not a movie, don’t fucking rate me.
I had some dude rate me once without me even asking, saying I was a 9/10 and it made me feel really disgusted and objectified rather than flattered.
I’m not sure. I don’t think anyone should rate anyone personally, to avoid all of this unnecessary drama. However, I think a seven isn’t insulting, on attractiveness level. It means you’re pretty, just not super pretty, or beautiful, or very beautiful. That’s still a compliment.
Because 7/10 is when girls start having the sort of butts that guys want to spank. And that hurts.
Most women are not accountable, they harbor delusions about themselves which is validated by cheap attention (low input validation) eg. social media likes and comments. So when they are rated anything below than 8-9 it comes to a surprise to them. Men and women live in complete different realities.
Some women set up echo chambers where they compliment each other's looks which may create a false sense of themselves. So they get upset when someone doesn't support their self image.
Some researchers have speculated that women give others excessive compliments as a way to reduce competition.
Women are vain creatures with big inflated egos that gets easily busted. Thats why u have stories like mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairst of them all. Every woman try to be the best looking in the room and if she isn't she becomes hysterical and bulimic or she would bully the hotter rival. Remember how Cinderella’s sister ruined her beautiful dress. And how they acted when she married the prince
To women it’s borderline pretty, they don’t want to hear that, they want at least an 8 even if they are a 5
I haven't encountered any other female get butthurt from this, as a matter of fact I've never heard of a case where women were being rated, be it boyfriend, just friend or stranger.
I don't know as I've never asked anyone to rate me, that sounds weird. I know I'm probably about a 5/10, maybe lower or higher depending on who you ask and I'm fine with it.
Because 7/10 is mid.. no girl wants to be mid lol
I don't know what girl gets mad 7/10 for some n*ggas opinion. :) But they must really think they're the queen of the world
u Many women value themselves primarily on their attractiveness to men, and they have little girl fantasies of being a 10/10.
people don't understand that the male scale and female scale are different
I don't get butthurt, I just thinking the idea of rating someone is kind of cruel
Me personally I couldn’t care what people think of me. But probably because they have a big ego or something along with that.
I'm with you. To get an answer to the question, you'll have to ask women.
