I consider myself about a 7. ---

Yes, and I’ve gotten better with a age. I’m in the best shape of my life and, as much as I bitch about it, the gray in the hair does add a little something. Plus, I’ve got the confidence that comes with having lived a little. So, sure, I’m attractive. Scale of 1-10? 8.5 ---

English or Metric? (and a golf clap for asylum, that was funny.) ---

Well, I never thought much of me in that regard, but if the procession of approachings from women at church are anything, and if hotornot counts for anything (and it really might not), then there’s something about this picture, at least. I don’t get it, but it scores 8.8 on hotornot. Whatever. Of course, I used PhotoDraw to cover up the acne. So I kind of cheated. ---

I think I’m pretty average, I’d rank myself a 5. I don’t stand out in a crowd, which is both good (“Eww, look at him!”) and bad (“Hey, look at him!”). Though my photo racked up a surprising 9.2 on _Am I Hot or Not?_ I can only conclude that there was some sort of mix-up and people were seeing someone else’s photo in place of mine. BTW, whatever happened to _Am I Hot or Not?_ I just tried going to their site and their address doesn’t seem to exist anymore. ---

I think I’m pretty cute, but I work hard at it, and it’s a pretty subjective thing. I would say maybe 8.5 on a good day, when I’ve done my hair, and I don’t have a PMS poochie belly, and something flattering on. Al. ---

The more weight I lose, the more my self-image shoots up. I’d say I’m all the way up to … 3. Maybe even pi. ---

OK, some of you guys are just not seeing cleraly. I met **Bouv** last weekend, and he is _fiine_. Definitely a 9 on my scale. If I were single and he were gay, I’d totally have flirted with him. **Monster104** and **The newbie** are both waay cute and eminently doable, judging from their pictures. Me, I’m an 8.5. I’d do me. ---

Hmm…8.5, but only because I can’t afford a kilt. 😉 [Pictures](http://fuzzydeath.freeservers.com/justin.html). ---

Maybe a 7. I’m kinda tall and in decent shape. Face is nothing special. Would be more attractive if I smiled more. Basically just another invisible old guy, tho. ---

I’m a 6. Really, though, I think we should be more scientific about this. In college a bunch of us decided to quantify beauty in millihelens (mHe), defined as “the amount of beauty it takes to launch one ship”. It allows for more precision, don’t you think? ---

My fiance says I’m a 15(i+1) which is one of the many reasons I love him, but since that’s not an option I’ll just give myself a 10 on the cute scale. What the hell, none of y’all are ever gonna see me anyway. This is our [dog](http://hometown.aol.com/electricfur616/myhomepage/dog.html), and people often say the three of us look alike, so I can’t be too heinous. I give a hearty HA! to those who would intimate that looking like one’s dog is not a good thing.
