Who is hotter, you or your partner?

You forgot to say “With a margin of error of 3.5.”

tdn, you are making it very difficult for me to ignore post #35! I can think of no appropriate responses.

Oh, I can think of a few. Several involve fur-lined handcuffs.

  1. Female

  2. About a 5. I weigh far more, and make far less of a dolling-up effort, than is permissible for a female person to be considered hot, but I’m not so hideous that people run in fear from my appearance.

  3. He’s a 6 to 7. He’s quite cute in a sort of teddy bear way.

  4. We’re fairly well matched so there haven’t been any problems. In the past, I dated one guy who was far more attractive than I–the kind of person who honestly gets asked, “Why the hell are you with her?” It bothered me a lot; it might have bothered me less if he didn’t feel the need to keep telling me when people asked him this. :rolleyes:

I would put you higher then a 6.5! 7.5 or so is more like it!

(Straight female here, btw)

Well, if we were competing on Miss Americacriteria, I’d probably win the Talent part , but she’d win the Swimsuit and Evening wear parts in a landslide. Personal Interview and Onstage Question would be a toss-up.

But to answer the OP:

  1. Male
  2. Somewhere in the middle
  3. I rate her 9, and so would the rest of the world, if they saw her naked
  4. As long as it’s not an issue for her, I’m loving it!

1.Female
2. In my younger days 9 (I modeled a lot - so I rely on other opinions) Aging isn’t for sissies. Today I’d probably be a 7 or 8 (for my age).
3. My husband is handsome to me but I think he’d say he’s a 3 or so. (Funny aside - on “Rate my Professor” his students gave him a 0 for hotness- he was crushed) His face is open and honest and he’s charming and funny and that shows.
4. I’ve only heard someone ask “How’d you get her?” once - otherwise we are who we are I guess.

Her. Me. Her and me at our joint birthday party last year, a little tipsy.

How did I do it? I’m smart, I’m funny, I’m a bit of an artist. When I asked her out and she said she had to think about it (we’d been friends for a while), I didn’t press or stress her, and I meant it when I said it was quite okay if she wanted to just stay buddies. In other words: self-confidence goes a long way.

Male.

I have no idea how to rate myself. A 5, at best, although there does seem to be a subset of women who find my ridiculously skinny, bony self attractive.

My partner is definitely an 8 when she gets herself all dressed and made up. And a 9 when she doesn’t (yes, you read that right).

No issues.

Are you saying she looks even better when she’s not dressed at all?

:o Thank you!

She is, objectively: nobody’s ever offered me a modeling contract. Okay, to be fair to myself, I never went out for one. But I think the result would be the same.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- guys can land out-of-their-attractiveness-league women if they are funny.

So how’d you pick up yours? :confused:

Carefully orchestrated scheme of lies. It was either that or a romantic misunderstanding, and I didn’t think I could pull that off.

A solid year of being a really good friend and giving her a chance to find that my personality had a lot more to offer than my looks.

Definitely my partner. And she is some sort of freak of nature, because she’s become even better looking over the years.

I know someone like that. At the age of 44 she is probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever met. I saw a picture of her when she was in her early 20s and she was kind of meh.

To make this a data point, her husband is also quite good looking. Naturally, their baby is adorable.

  1. what is your gender? Male
  2. how do you rate your own physical attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being hottest) At my best, 5. Typically 4.
  3. how do you rate your partner? At her best? 8. Typically 8 but with different scores in different areas. It’s like having two awesome wives sometimes.
  4. if there is a large difference, has this ever been an issue with either of you? No. She thinks I’m better than a 4-5, makes me feel like a 9. But she wears contacts. Except when I’m around. She thinks I don’t notice.

Heh, heh. Well, maybe. But what I meant was that she looks especially great with no makeup, in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Way better than she looks when she has to get dress and put on makeup for some sort of event with a dress code.

I think that’s true of a lot of women, though. Maybe even most.

And that’s the technique they say never works… ‘consigned to the friend zone’ and all that… :slight_smile:
