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.
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.
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.
