What would it be? Mine MIGHT garner (in my own mind) as high as a five or six, but if anyone would ask me, I’d probably say a four. And don’t be modest. If your behind is one of your better “assets”, then feel free to tell us it’s a nine or ten. ---

About a 9. On the Richter Scale, that is. 😃 ---

I’m reasonably sure it’s lower these days, but apparently an 8+. I used to have lots of problems getting guys to talk to my front. It hasn’t been so bad lately, but still happens. ---

It used to be a 10, but somewhere in my 30’s it just plain disappeared. So now I guess it’s a 5 or so. ---

Mine’s an 8 if you like small butts. Prolly a 3 if you like big butts. ---

I have pert buttocks (pron. BYOO-tox) and since I’ve taken up running, a nice shape. I’d give myself a cheeky 9. Shame about the rest of me. I am a guy. ---

My wife tells me it’s really cute, and that her friends concur. I have no idea what numerical value to place on it, though. Perhaps I should consider a career in butt modeling; they have hand models and such… ---

Somewhere between an 8 or 9. I’ve always received compliments on my ass. In high school my Levi’s were 30/31, now I wear 31/31, so it hasn’t changed much in the 23 years since I graduated. Also a runner, so that helps. ---

Pepper Mill likes it, but she’s prejudiced. One of her friends complimented it, but she’s a lesbian. I have no idea how that factors in. ---

1 if that. I have no butt. It’s a genetic thing. All the females in my family are shapped like a T, with wide sholders, long legs and no T&A. ---

I also have little to no arse. I’ve found, when clothed, that it doesn’t do much to attract women and I am forced to resort to other tactics (such as actually being charming, if one actually puts stock in that sort of thing 😉 ) However, when I have been lucky enough to get to the unclothed part of the interaction, women somewhat invariably remark on my toosh’s “cuteness”. I have no idea whether that’s a good or a bad thing, or how it would translate into numbers… ---

Six. (Actually, I can’t tell. I do know, however, that it’s in better shape that it was. All that running. One day about six months ago I reached around to scratch it and didn’t recognize it. 🙂 ) ---

Thanks to good genes and the incline setting on my treadmill, I’m proud to report my ass is a 9 – 10 if I’m wearing my skinny Calvin Klein jeans. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-had-to-rate-your-ass-on-a-scale-of-one-to-ten/468872.md?page=2)
