Satan, that WOULD be perfect, but you have a grammatical error in there; two 'are’s in the first sentence. To reassure everyone who got low ratings, I found a picture of Britney Spears on that site last night, and her average rating was a 6.7; clearly, most of the raters are mentally deficient. ---

Maybe it is jealousy, but maybe it is also a gentle poke at vanity. To some, the very idea of posting a picture at a site called “Am I HOT or am I NOT” implies a certain vanity and an emphasis on physical appearance rather than the more important qualities of the human spirit. Although she was NOT addressing the question of Dopers giving 1s and I do NOT wish to imply that she rated anyone (much less gave anyone a 1), early in this thread, FairyChatMom said: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FairyChatMom \* > \*\*I haven’t tried to access this site, but I’m not interested in what people think of my appearance.

That pic of britney is disgusting. Her lips look like there’s some chemical imbalance therein. I give her a 1 every time I see her. Rachelle, both pics of you rock, and as you’re married I’ve no desire to go anywhere with you. FWIW, I’m rated something like a 3.1. Tastes clearly differ. ---

Do I detect some ‘spoiled grapes’ attitudes here? Each vote on Postyourfacehere, I found out, registers .01, so their voting system is set low. A 5.1 could actually be an 8 under a regular system. Plus, they average it out over all of the votes given 1 person. Unless you remove the cookies from your TEMP files, if you try to go back and increase your vote on a person by voting again, it will not register in the total. (I tried it, just to see if it could be done.) ---

But for some reason guys seem to get an exponentially declining curve from 0-10. I have to say I really loved Satan’s new pic. Rates a 10 in my opinion. ---

FWIW, I decided to head back to this site just to see what was new (hadn’t checked it out since it was first linked to SDMB). I repeat what I said before: the “graders” here are f\*cked-up idiots. Vindictive group of bastards. Every single average score was considerably lower than mine, some by four or more points. Now, I’m either easy or people out there are mean-spirited, arrogant jerks. I dunno. To the female dopers who posted their pix here (sorry, but I’m really in no position to grade the male dopers here), there wasn’t a single unattractive picture…I hope that, despite the crap that may have been flung your way, you can comfortably assume that you’re a much better-looking woman than these cretins would have you believe. Geez, this pissed me off. ---

Well, the only reason I posted it there was because I _didn’t_ care how I was rated - a couple of years ago when I still had major self-esteem issues about the way I look, I never would have done it. ---

I really don’t know why I did this either. The only way it made me feel was that I’m apparently a lot less attractive to women, sexually or otherwise, than I originally thought I was. And that was pretty low to begin with. Just feeling sorry for myself this morning … ---

Yeah, I didn’t want to post my pic either. I feel pretty good about myself, I get “checked out” by nice looking guys regularly, which helps if I need an ego boost, and my pic is on the SD People Pages, if anyone cares. Compliments can be sent directly to me, and negative comments can sent directly to hell. ---

I’m rather amused by the whole thing. I went back and checked up on my picture . . . apparently I’ve avearaged a 2.7, which is just amusing. I can’t imagine this site being an overly good idea for anyone. I’m completely over whatever effect this was having on me before, as I know better than to believe it. I still think it’s an interesting experiement, if fatally flawed. ---

Okay, I am just on the first page of this thread… and trying to decide if I should post a photo link… Love your photo, amarinth. You have such beautiful lips!!! I’d love to have lips like that, I’d be wearing lipstick all the time to show them off. Also like MadPoet’s and alot of the others!
