No. It’s just a matter of\*\* Arnold Winkleried\*\* getting around to it. ---

I put myself down as a 4. I’m certainly not going to be in any magazines (wait, is Fangoria still around?). I don’t think I’m hideous but nothing to write home about. But luckily for me there have been a number of insane women who think I’m good looking. Thank god for the crazies. ---

Anyone know? Arnold has disappeared. Speculation is he’s dealing with some personal problems, but for whatever reason it’s been a very, very long time since he’s put up anyone’s photos, let alone even posted. What people have started doing in the meantime is simply linking to their photos in the [photo thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=539257). ---

This thread would be fascinating in table form. First column: picture of poster Second column: poster’s self-rating Third column: Poll results of a crowd rating that person’s looks ---

Three thoughts: 1.) Your perception of your looks is also influenced by where you live and the people around you. You may be a 7 in your podunk town but at the same time can be what people would call a “New York 4”. 2.) I cannot think of a single person I’d rate a 10. If 10 means perfection, then I guess they don’t exist at all in real life. And I suppose that means 1’s don’t either; no matter how ugly someone is, there is always going to be someone uglier. 3.) Really surprised at how so many people think they’d automatically be like an 8 if they just lost some weight. Or that they are an automatic 8 just by thinness alone.
