This thread is like a song in my head that will not go away. Every chick I see I find myself rating her and then argueing with myself over my rating system.
Would the chick have to be naked with no make up to be truly rated?
Do personality or brains count for anything?
What about height? Or is it proportion?
Is it what turns me on or what I would hang on my arm to take to a party for attention?
I saw a lady yesterday who if I were to disect and judge each part she might have came out to a 6 but putting her all together impressed me as much as any strong 8.
Please thread get out of my head!
This thread made me think of this song.
In my experience, really good-looking men are far more likely to be self-absorbed and arrogant than similarly attractive women, and more likely to act like they’re automatically entitled to anything they want.
I’d speculate that this is because people – both men and women – are pretty open about telling beautiful women that they’re beautiful, so a really attractive woman presumably understands that she gets extra attention solely because of her looks. I suspect that a handsome man gets fewer overt compliments on his appearance, and so may not realize that he’s getting extra attention solely because of his looks.
Hmm. Interesting. I’m not sure if I agree but it’s an interesting thought.
When woman are around a man who is a 10 they uncontrollably gush, husband present or not LOL.
No they don’t:confused:
haha
Would the husbands be gushing too? Because it’s pretty common for straight women to openly admire the looks of other women, but it’s my impression that straight men don’t do this very often. I would expect that a woman who’s a 10 hears plenty of “You’re gorgeous!”, “I’d kill to look like you!”, “You’re so pretty, I hate you!” from other women, in addition to everything she hears from men.
I would never check out a woman when I am allready with a woman. Pet peeve of mine is the phrase look but don’t touch. I say glance but don’t stare is acceptable. Now if say a man is shopping and the sales girl approaches and is knockout gorgeous and the man starts to fumble, that is innocent enough.
I didn’t ask if you would check out a woman while with your wife/girlfriend, I asked if straight men openly admire the looks of other men the way straight women openly admire the looks of other women.
When it is very obvious I would say to some degree yes.
My experience is that 10s are generally really nice people who just seem rather naive about the world. Everybody is super friendly, in their book. Getting visibly mad at people is just weird. Of course everyone can have a boyfriend/girlfriend if they want one.
My sister’s experience is that they are mostly bullies.
I have a close friend who would qualify, and as with anything else, it has its pros and cons.
Does she know it/Can she see it:
Yes, she’s very aware and quite confident, but not to the point of arrogance. When she feels like it, which is fairly often, she makes the time to take care of herself, and it shows, not just physically, but in how she dresses, as well as how she carries herself. She isn’t obsessed with faults, but she is aware of them-- for the most part, she’s comfortable with who she is, though she will ask for an opinion when she’s actively making a specific effort, which I think is normal. I wouldn’t say her behavior is much different than any of my other friends, save for more attention to detail and what seems to be magnified expectations of her, which I’ll admit, while playful, can be unfair or even unintended.
All in all, I’d say she’s high-maintenance, so far as physical beauty is concerned, but its on her personal time and doesn’t translate to expensive tastes, at all. Having dealt with high-maintenance people who bear this burden on others, it’s a very nice difference.
Does it open all the wrong doors and close all the wrong?/Bother vs benefit:
It certainly has opened a lot of wrong ones, a number of which she’s made the mistake of walking through. Having done that a few times, she’s learned a lot of hard lessons; many of which I’m sure other women deal with, but just with more frequency, so nothing any of my other friends couldn’t also relate to. It’s also true that she gets a lot of opportunities presented to her, but usually in the form of people trying to buy her affection in some rather insane, or even obnoxious ways, both young and old, and at times, other females. On one hand, mild forms of it can be flattering, depending on the approach and who its coming from, but as least initially, it was tricky to discern between genuine people and those who wanted to use her.
The other part of this, is her indirect affect on people, which often includes other women. It’s certainly true, that in being exceptionally attractive, people will give special treatment, but that’s arguably a small part of it. As with anything else, it can be nice and/or a polite acknowledgement, but on the flip-side, there exist a lot of prejudice, where people will become standoffish or make things difficult, in order to prove something/anything. Insecurity rears its head more often than it should, and there have been a number of unprovoked situations where people have gotten rather ignorant, for no real reason. Counter to this, though, she has indirectly motivated people to change/better themselves, as I’ve seen a number of cases where a person, out of admiration for something she shared/did, became influenced by her. It’s not abnormal to see people acknowledge then mimic aspects of her which they appreciate, which is rather interesting. There is a clear dichotomy between those who are intimidated, and then others who are motivated.
All in all, she considers it part of life, and most of it is viewed as something to learn from or people just being people. In that, she’s very approachable and is much more of a simple person, than typical prejudices would lead a person to believe. For the most part, she carries an interesting humility to her, partially due to a humble lifestyle/upbringing, as well as what grew to become an indifference/defense mechanism towards a lot of the negativity which can sometimes surround her. In general, she’s adapted to what comes with the territory, but she’s no different than anyone else. By no coincidence, the people closest to her, are the people who treat her as if she’s another person, with normal attention towards her strengths and weaknesses, needs and wants.
Does she spend more time to ugly herself down so as not to push the wrong buttons?:
She certainly has, and when she does, it’s mostly at work, when possible. She has a number of days where she will dress down, so as to avoid unnecessary attention, as well as the fact that its more comfortable.
