I would say you look … cold.

1. I’ve put on a lot of weight in the past three years, so before that I’d say I was in the 7ish range. People have told me I have nice eyes and a nice smile, and I used to have more of an hourglass figure. Now its just a little, um, expanded. 🙂

Actually, it was almost warm that day - probably the last day to ski without hitting rocks.

I said a 6, which in my heart I think is probably overegging it. When I was in my early twenties I was an 8 or 9, albeit tempered by my lack of stature.
However I have dated/married enough 7s - 9s to think that either I might be underestimating, or (and I’ve quoted Samuel L. on this before in a similar thread) I might be “one charming motherfucking pig”. And even now I’m starting to look middle aged and tired, I’ve still somehow ended up with a girlfriend 11 years younger than me who’s totally gorgeous.

I chose a 4 for myself.

Around a 3. I’m bald and fat.
It’s odd, though. The uglier I’ve gotten, the better I’ve done with the fairer sex. Weird.

I went for a big five. I might have been a solid 7 back in the day, but that’s when I had more hair, weighed about 25lbs less, and all that time in the sun hadn’t caught up with me.

I chose a 4. About 30 pounds overweight. Hair thinning.
I might have been a five or six 20-25 years ago.

Dudes, stop going on about the hair - chicks dig baldies.

I’ve met you. You are not a 4. 8 is more like it. 🙂

That picture is made of awesome.

That guy is a 7. I don’t like bald men, but a yummy silver fox.

Facially, a 5 or a 6. Adding in physique drops me down to a 3 or a 4.

You kind of look like you should be in Cutter and Buck advertisements.

Very true—whenever I shave my head I get the greatest number of compliments from the 18 – 30 crowd.

On that scale, I’m an 11.

Yep, same here. My pre-kids body was a lot hotter.
