colosseum Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Inspired by something from a thread. And if you take every matter on sex and dating as some illiberal objectification of mankind and a threat to human dignity, then 1. that is not my intent; 2. this thread is not for you. From my experience, we guys do this quite often, if not all the time. A: 7 o'clock. B: M...6? A: Dude, she's at least an 7. B: You're drunk. 6.5, no higher. Though arbitrary and subjective, somehow guys find a way to come close to others' valuations (yes, even when one is drunk). Ladies, do you do this? I mean, the 1 - 10 scale.

No. Some men sicken me. Yes we notice men's looks, but I don't think we generally quantify them in such crude terms. We're either attracted to them or we're not. And if we're not especially attracted to their appearance that can change if we start talking to them.
Jilly Bean Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Yes, and a guy gets a plus one for being rich, and a plus two for being well-hung.
boldjack Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I almost never judge a woman solely on her looks, and definitely never quantify appearance. Who's to say that white women are better looking than Asian, or that slender women are better looking than Rubenesque? Women are individuals. I know it's hard to grasp that sometimes.

Citizen Drawn Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Yes, and a guy gets a plus one for being rich, and a plus two for being well-hung. Sock down the pants and a ferrari keychain it is!
Jilly Bean Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 http://www.zazzle.com/ill_speak_with_your_mama_outside_tshirt-235090175211093481 LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I shoulda known someone would market that. Classic! Sock down the pants and a ferrari keychain it is! So, you know at the LEAST, you'd be a 2. Not bad. Tramp around in a pair of Berluti's, and you're golden.
Citizen Drawn Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Tramp around in a pair of Berluti's, and you're golden. Can't afford them. Guess I'll just have to get really drunk.
Citizen Erased Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Can't afford them. Guess I'll just have to get really drunk. Or at least find someone that's too drunk to notice they aren't in fact Berluti's.
Jilly Bean Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Can't afford them. Guess I'll just have to get really drunk. LOL. You're still a min. 2. Don't fret, love.
Citizen Drawn Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Or at least find someone that's too drunk to notice they aren't in fact Berluti's. Good idea, and I won't have to worry when they throw up on them.
SoulSearch_CO Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 No, I don't "number" men like they're bulls at the sale barn. As someone said above, I'm either attracted, or not.
boldjack Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Well this thread's too shallow even for me,.....bye now.
The Collector Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Women use a different sliding scale to rate how desirable a man is - It's called the K Per Annam scale.
Jersey Shortie Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I almost never judge a woman solely on her looks, and definitely never quantify appearance. Who's to say that white women are better looking than Asian, or that slender women are better looking than Rubenesque? Women are individuals. I know it's hard to grasp that sometimes. This is how I feel about men myself. You can't quantify on appearance. Glad to see there are some men who do as well. I think men that are prone to rating women are emotionally immature and insecure. I think it makes people feel better "rating" others and pigeon holing them because if we are honest, it gives a false sense of power and entitlement over another when you can sit there and judge. Whether the judging it good or bad, it doesn't matter.
sally4sara Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Women use a different sliding scale to rate how desirable a man is - It's called the K Per Annam scale. If this woman has never heard of it, how can she or the women she associates with be using it?
Author colosseum Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Lol well this thread is off to a flying start.
The Collector Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 If this woman has never heard of it, how can she or the women she associates with be using it? K per Annam = Salary.
Els Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I definitely don't do that. If some guys want to, that's all cool. As long as they don't get offended when they hear girls whispering with their ex/current gfs about their sexual prowess (or lack of) in equally crude terms.

Boldjack, spoken like someone who truly appreciates all different types of women...hat's off to you!
sally4sara Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 K per Annam = Salary. Yeah, I don't use that; I work for my money and my only concern for the money of a random guy is that I hope he earns his own money too. Thanks for the explanation tho! I don't associate willingly with gold diggers, affair enablers, or prostitutes either.
Trialbyfire Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 As far back as I can remember, I don't recall any situation where the girls and I evaluated a man on a scale from 1 - 10. We did the "hey, check out that guy, HOT!" but that's as far as it went. Some hot-looking guys become far less than hot, after a minute of talking to them.

Not to mention how many times the 1 - 10 scale has caused lawsuits when some bar or restaurant's employees use it openly to decide what kind of customer service to give different female patrons. Its just a bad habit to form IMO.

Its just a bad habit to form IMO.In the above situation, I agree it's bad form. I'm not going to knock men for doing this. Most but not all, do this, whether it's on a scale of 1 - 10 or some other numbering system. Maybe I'm being a little too liberal in attitude but I shrug it off to a "guy thing".

Maybe I'm being a little too liberal in attitude but I shrug it off to a "guy thing". Perhaps so. Although I never did the "numbering" thing, a long time ago my friends and I generally divided women/girls into two groups: those we would do and those we would not. Honestly, there weren't that many who fell into the latter category.
