Hmm. Maybe a 5.5 in the flesh? But I dress really well, and that seems to add a good two points to my score in the eyes of a lot of women. 
Depends on how you feel about Santa Claus.
For children age 3 - 7, I am a definite 9, maybe a 10.
For most other folks, a 4ish sort of 5.

I understand what you’re saying, and I don’t mean to accuse you of being incendiary. Marijuana certainly has no reputation for making ugly women prettier, and IME it’s never had that effect. The general stereotype among anti-drug sorts–of which I am certainly not one, though I haven’t partaken in a good while–is that marijuana obscures one’s judgement and thinking in general. Also not true IME, but that’s what I was shooting for in a quick response. I think crack is more often the stereotype involved (“the guy who wrote this book must be smoking crack”, etc.) but that seemed like it would be offensive when used in connection to an underweight person.
:eek: I wouldn’t have admitted that.

You really would like Calgary. People walk around downtown smoking joints if they’re so inclined.

:eek: Sorry guys, gotta go. I have a plane to catch!
I really don’t think anyone would have made the connection between crack and weight loss in this context, and even if they did, I don’t think they would be offended by it. I’m very intrigued that you would feel this way. Most people have no reservations about discussing the weights of female celebrities and even fewer worries that someone will be offended by doing so.
Dude, either you’re taking the piss out of fetus, you’re deliberately being a jerk, or you take people way too literally. Whatever the case, let the guy off the hook already, would ya?
I’ve never written a more scrutinized line of text. Congratulations. I’m leaving right now to buy you a trophy.
I agree that there are exceptions to most stereotypes and prejudices.
I’m an 8 thanks to hybrid vigor and an intensive exercise and diet regimen.
I mean no ill will to fetus at all. In fact, I am a big fan of your posts, if you are reading this. You are very knowledgeable and interesting and I think we would get along swimmingly. So, really, I apologize if you felt hassled by these questions. Peace!
During my aesthetic apex (at ages 16-18) when I was playing baseball and running and lifting weights all the time, I was probably a 9. I look at photo of myself from those days and have no complaints really. Thank goodness some people found me attractive because I had no game at the time and was terrible at hitting the ladies. I’d wait on them to come to me; it worked to some extent.
Six years later and 20 more pounds on me and no more ‘6 pack’ on the torso, I am a 6 maybe. FWIW, my hotornot pic from a year ago was rated a generous 9.1, but it was one of my better pics. A few people still find me attractive…so once again let me say…thank goodness for that because I have no game and am terrible at hitting on the ladies.
I’m waiting for my foot to heal so I can start running again and increase my self-determined rating to a 7 or 8…yay.
A few of my fellow Dopers complimented me in the thread picture thread…thank you :D. it’s nice to know I still have a some attractiveness to compensate for my not-so-outgoing and not-so-fun-loving personality
I have fans? I’m flattered!
Don’t worry about it. I admit it was a hastily thought out sentence and indeed a silly thing to say, looking back. No harm, no foul. Heck, drop me a line next time you’re in my neck of the woods and I’ll buy you a drink. And maybe a trophy.
I know this is rating your own hotness, and I respect the rating you are giving yourself, but I want you to know that 20 pounds and no ‘6 pack’ barely registers with most women, especially as we’re all getting older. I truly wish that men and women could get on the same wavelength for attracting each other - guys think women are looking for X, and women think guys are looking for Y, when in reality, women are looking for K and guys couldn’t physically care less about Y. Sigh.
These days… as a fat bastard, I’d say I’m probably a 5. I’m a pretty handsome guy in the face regardless, or so I’m told.
Back about 5 years ago, I was probably somewhere in the 8 range, because I worked out all the time, was more or less in shape, etc…
15 years ago, in college, (not as in shape as 2001, not as fat as now), I was told I was a 7 on several occasions by different people.
The thing is, even if women are not looking for X, if the guy has X, and knows he has X, and is proud of his X - then he’s got confidence. And that is what it’s all about.
I submitted my photo to Hot or Not, and got a 7.7 rating on a scale of 10, making me hotter than 74% of men on that site. Why, I think I’ll agree!
I do not sink zat is vat your score means, my friend.
Yes, that’s what it says below my percentile rating.
I’d be curious to know how they got 74% when your actual score would indicate 77% (or if you want to pick nits, and we all do here on NitPicker Central, you’re hotter than 76% of the guys on the site, you being a member of the 77th percentile. Or something like that. I’m sure the math nitpickers can do a much better job than I at picking these nits. )
There’s no curve. Not all average men are given a 5.0 score, so the percentages are skewed.
If I’m at work (all sweaty and dirty and nasty) I’d give myself a 5. After a shower and a shave and a change of clothes… a seven-and-a-half.
