What's wrong with the "1 to 10" scale?

A lot of girls complained about the fact that men grade women's attractiveness on a 1 to 10 scale in one of my last threads.

Personally, I believe that the 1 to 10 scale is a lot more, I dunno, "merciful" and "kinder" than the way women grade men.

Women grade men either "cute" or "not cute." It's pass/fail. There's no gradient or shades of gray in the middle; it's just black and white.

So how is the 1 to 10 scale any worse?

Theres nothing wrong with it, just ignore the women speak.

The difference is many guys are perfectly find with dating a 2/10 or 3/10.

For women 18-30, it's unthinkable to even talk to a man unless he is a 8/10+, or "HOT". Who cares if hes abusive, a druggie, lives with his parents, no job, as long as hes "HOT" and I can show him off to my friends, its worth!! ( )

So not true!

I haven't used the 1-10 scale much, ever.

But is there a problem with it? I don't think so.

To answer the orginal question, its because I am more than a cow or a piece of meat on an auction block.

There is more to me than how I look, and I may not look at good today as I did yesterday anyway.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I can almost always find SOMETHING to like about another person. Something they are good at, or that looks good on them.

So to reduce me, who I am, the totallity of me being and my potential as a partner and mate to a number between one and ten is insulting.

Would you prefer a scale consisting of HOT or DOG?

You seriously can't take the fact that for the sake of saving time there is a scale of 1 to 10?

Yes it is mainly about looks. But to calm you down... a girl who is 7 but real nice (has all the positive personality traits) is usually described as " 7 which is so cool it makes her actually 9 and for me personally is 10).

Don't get too excited...your personality can add up like 3 points max on overall scale.

Don't be a cow.

Like I said, the "1 to 10" scale has only to do with physical attractiveness. All that stuff like interests and personality are separate.

And like I said in my other thread, when you see a girl for the first time, you CAN'T judge her based on her personality, because you haven't spoken to them yet; you don't know anything about her!

There really is NOTHING to go by but her looks.

Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE tell me...

.... How is it possible to judge a woman by her personality BEFORE you've spoken to her and learned anything about her?

I dont know what you're talking about man....only the extremely desperate guys are fine with dating a 2/3. Women are the ones that give more leeway for personality.

You don't. Which is why it's so integral to talk to her and learn about her.

its 1-Giselle...get it right!

So how is the 1 to 10 scale any worse?

Nothing. Except most of the times it's not linear. It's more like a log scale. In other words, the difference between a 10 and a 9 is much, much bigger than the difference between a 9 and an 8.

I've been told by men that for them it's pass/fail.

I don't personally like the 1-10 scale. First, everyone has their own idea of what makes a 1 or 10. Second, I don't sit there grading men on scales for their looks or their earning power. I'd like a man who does the same.

And no, men are not kinder when nit comes to looks.

But it's much easier for a girl to look hot compared to men.

1. Don't be fatty foods.

2. Wear make-up.

Guys have to go to the gym regularly.

LOL. Sorry, I found this hilarious. You need to totally get your facts right, dude.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I think you're just bitter towards women. I guarantee 99% of the world would agree with me on this point. No guy is showing off a 2 to his buddies, regardless of how awesome she is on the inside.

Guys have to go to the gym regularly.

1. Be constantly on a diet

2. Spend ton of money on make up

3. Go to the gym

4. Get manicure pedicure

5. Shave-wax legs and eyebrows

6. Spend tons of money on clothes (and keep up on current trends)

Sounds to me like if all you guys have to do is go to the gym, then you have pretty easy .

My only issue with the 1-10 scale is that some people think it's "external". In other words, they assume that because they think a person is a 10, everyone will agree that person is a 10. They then assume a lot of things about this person, instead of trying to get to know them for who they are. (Like it must mean this person gets hit on a lot so I have to stand out to impress them).

And, I've seen use girls the 1-10 scale (as recently as today on this very forum), so you guys are not exempt.

Scales & classification systems are funny. We should more rely on intuition than to try to clump people into a category because there are too many variables that come into play. This goes for judging women, judging men, racisim, prejudices, etc. Why is society so obsessed with classifying and grading? It's not a very holistic way to live our lives.

Actually, since women's bodies are naturally more fatty and not as bulky with muscle, we actually have to expend more engery buring calories then men. So no, it's not that easy.

And cosigns with the rest of Kamille's list. Not to mention the things women have to do to maintain their attractiveness as they get older thatn men don't.

I have to strongly agree here...guys have it a lot easier in this regard...and pop culture and the media doesn't make it any easier on women...

There's a lot more pressure for women to look a "certain way," while there's a much broader range of "man-types" that a woman would find attractive.

I hate wearing makeup. I will when its called for, but I hate it.

Men: how would you feel if you had to put chemicals and powders on your face, mouth, and in your eyes before leaving the house every day?

Good on you for being honest. This is so very, very true. And Kamille's list wasn't even complete methinks.

Guys may have it harder in other aspects, but certainly not in this.

I'd hate it:mad:

Women definitely have it rougher when it comes to staying intact.

Yes, I'm not big on trying to look hot. I get by just fine with being "average".

But others I forgot:

Apply make-up

Blow-dry, straighten or curl hair

Pick cute outfit (although honestly, I love this part of the day!)

Wear (and dance in) high heel shoes

Do everything in one's power to fight nature and "not age".

Me neither. But I've lived with plenty of girlfriends, and I'll say that looking good takes a HUGE part of their day. Many of 'em wake up half an hour or even an hour earlier, just to do their skincare/haircare routine, and fix their hair and makeup.
