Mysterio Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So God given beauty isn't part of the equation for you? I would give facial structure at least 5 points and the other things together form the remaining points. Basil I would agree with you. Have you ever seen The Human Face BBC Documentry With John Clees and Elizabeth Hurley. I am a big face person. That is the one thing that I focus on besides personality when I date. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am a big face person. That is the one thing that I focus on besides personality when I date. I don't focus on face when I've dated because physical beauty isn't important to me in a partner. But for raw considerations of attractiveness, facial attractiveness is really high in the numbers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Considering he admitted he's at least 20 lbs more than desired, yet still gave himself an "8" for fitness should tell you something about the veracity of the rating. Food for thought for all the guys out there: https://www.google.com/search?ei=xSlyWqSZJ6Hr5gK2m7_oDg&q=men+overestimate+their+attractiveness&oq=men+overestimate+their+attractiveness&gs_l=psy-ab.3...10715.10715.0.11027.1.1.0.0.0.0.82.82.1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.j3lXx1U9pM0 What should an "8" for fitness be to you? Maybe for the poster it means he's "in shape" but just not "cut" like a gym rat would be. It's very subjective. Link to post Share on other sites
RecentChange Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So grooming I am 10 out of 10. Dress style a 10. Fitness. I am about an 8. I don't know if I have ever encountered a man who I would give a 10/10 on grooming and dress. And I used to live in Los Angeles. Some have been close, but they had personal shoppers, nationally renowned stylist, regular professional manicures etc. Maintaining that level takes a bunch of cash and time. (and honestly, I don't want a man who spends more time and money on clothes and grooming than I do!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Beats the hell out of me. I think I'm a bit of a mutt, but my wife is a total babe, so I'd have to give myself at least a 6 based on her willingness to marry me in the first place. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

normal person Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) What should an "8" for fitness be to you? Maybe for the poster it means he's "in shape" but just not "cut" like a gym rat would be. It's very subjective. I guess it can be subjective if he considers "20 pounds overweight" to be "in shape." It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be, but to each their own. In my book, if 10 is Greek god perfection, 5 is average, 1 is morbid obesity, then an 8 is at least "impressively cut," with maybe an area lacking some definition at worst. I have a hard time buying that someone could have that much weight to shed and still be rated so high. Any obvious shortcoming (20 extra pounds more than qualifies) would preclude anyone from the 8-10 range in my eyes. Twenty pounds of unwanted mass sounds average (5) at best to me. Would you honestly consider someone with that much excess weight to be closer to a Greek god than to average? It doesn't sound right, but that's just me.

Mysterio Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Lets detail the scale. So when someone says they are a 5/6/7/8/9/10. What image do you get from either a man or woman. 5= Plain. 6=Spruced up 7= Rock and Roll 8= CW Super hero shows 9= James Bond/Anglina Jolie/Denzel 10= Olympic level Athlete Thats what comes to mind. I am inbetween a 7 and 8. Link to post Share on other sites

littleblackheart Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Why on Earth would you ever want to rate yourself?? It's pointless enough rating other people. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Jj66 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 No idea but several women in recent years have told me I am good looking, handsome, hot and kind of tempting, a honey pot, hunkapotamus, etc. I guess I'm not ugly but I sometimes got the impression that these women didn't really care that much about looks and were just trying to trick me into bed for some unknown reason. Maybe it's the twinkle in the eye, disarming quick wit, knowledge of the world, economic status, or even my love of dancing. One thing is sure. It's not my sense of style or the car I drive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

nospam99 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) 10= Olympic level Athlete I disagree, at least for women. To me a female 10 is a young appearance-based celebrity, fully made-up and dressed to impress: Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Hannah Jeter, SCARLETT. Yet in my eyes, the woman who I'm dating is the most beautiful woman in the world. Edited January 31, 2018 by nospam99 1 Link to post Share on other sites

snowboy91 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Depending on how I dress, how I do my hair, and how much confidence I feel like exuding on any given day... I can vary between a 4 (didn't bother with hair, ugly old clothes) and a 7 (neat new clothes, recent haircut, well trimmed beard). 8 if I really push it. These days I'm fitter than I've ever been, but I don't have "it" that makes me a 10. Numbers are incredibly subjective anyway, and we are often our own worst critics. You may consider yourself a 5 but if a potential partner thinks you're an 8 or higher... why does it matter? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CptInsano Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm middle-of-the-road, more or less a 5. Well, I'm fit and healthy, that's something. I've had one date tell me that it took her about one hour to get over my looks. (She was fine afterwards.) Oddly enough I've never really had any trouble attracting women. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Oddly enough I've never really had any trouble attracting women. That's because mutts like you and me know that attracting women is far more than what meets the eye, quite literally. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

JustGettingBy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I honestly think that depending on my level of confidence in the moment, as well as how much effort I put into clothes and brooming I can be anywhere from 2-9. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
RecentChange Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah for me..... Attraction to a man is not heavily weighed on physical beauty. Sure it's nice.... But is he smart as a whip? Interesting? Successful? Has big enough cojones to stand up to a pain in the ass like me? Then we are talking. A pretty face, gorgeous abs... Icing on the cake, and they do not matter at all if he doesn't impress me intellectually. Different strokes for different folks. But I have found that unconventional physical beauty, paired with an exceptional mind is what gets my juices flowing. I think this dynamic is more rare when it comes to men's attraction to women, but I have certainly encountered men that make it obvious it's my brain that gives them a boner, not just my body. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
