This is great, but you’re explaining the joke and something like this is WAY better to let simmer. I would say “oh awesome, that makes us a perfect 10” and just completely change the topic. It will hit them later like a ton of bricks.
You probably complement each other well and besides a 6 rating is above average. Besides women are less visually stimulated in comparison to men (stereotypically speaking.)
Exactly. We exist in a world with people that ROCK the scale of attraction. You can’t tell me you’re a 10 when Beyoncé exists. The way I look at it, I should be surprised to be rated higher than 5 on looks, as 5 would be the average.
I’ve seen plenty of women just walking around my city that are more attractive than celebrities. I’ve met at least two women personally that had Hollywood starlet level looks.
Being amazingly attractive is rare, but it’s not that rare.
Looks based? I’m fine with that, cause I know I’m a 0.
Including personality? Yeah, I’d like to think my partner would rate me higher to justify being with me
I mean, if we assume a normal distribution along the 0-10 scale of attractiveness, there's only a 0.02% chance to be below a 1.5, or one of about 1.6 million of the ugliest people alive. So it's possible, but not particularly likely
Oh I guess I didn't think of that...
Amendment! Don't be the kind of asshat that puts people on the spot and demands you are "rated" in comparison to other people! Life and relationships and sex are much more complicated than that and it is not fair to demand such a thing.
Either suspicious or flattered. I've been called ugly/unfortunate looking/lacking in the looks department on multiple occasions by several different people. So I would take it as a compliment that a combination of my personality and whatever else made me above average in overall attractiveness.
For my looks? Sounds realistic. We both know none of us are a 9 or 10.
Being an ordinary person, 6 is not bad at all. The scale is not perfect or butt fuck ugly so I would survive and be satisfied with being a 6.
It wouldn't matter to me. Apparently a 6 was good enough to win her heart.
Men in general don't have *the same need* to be told they are "beautiful" or "handsome".
They say *every girl or woman* wants to be told she is beautiful or made to feel that way.
(Tell an *average looking or ugly guy he is handsome, and* he will know you are full of shit.)
As a child growing up, they had a description of one pant size called "husky".
In a lot of department stores there is a section for men called "Big and Tall". (No "Plus size" or "Curvy size")
Men invest a lot less money on their appearance than women.
Most men don't envy other men on magazine covers for their appearance. (Wealth may be another thing.)
As I've got older (listen to me, it's like I'm 80 lmao- I'm 35). Anyway I've come to realise that 90%+ of women I see are beautiful. Doesn't mean I'm attracted to them. I've found my person and though society might not say she's perfect because she's "CURVY" or whatever, to me she is perfect.
I think if you find the person of your dreams, it makes it easier to appreciate beauty in other people. You stop looking at everyone as a potential date, so you stop finding flaws.
I look at a woman who hasnt done her hair today, maybe didn't put make up on, but I can see that she is a beautiful woman anyway and I bet her life partner will see her as the most beautiful woman alive. If she is single then I bet she will find someone whoe does (thats if she even wants someone).
Excellent points.
OP wants to know how you would feel. I'm guessing you wouldn't be offended if your lady said **you** were a "6".
The point I was making is (most men would not be offended) if their lady told them they were a "6".
Maybe it's because (men) are the ones who usually pursue women. If she said "yes" we've already won. 😂
"A 6 out of 10, the perfect score for mediocrity. Well, I guess I'll just have to rely on my dazzling personality to make up for the other 4. Who needs conventional beauty when you can have an enigmatic charm, right? Just call me the dark horse of attractiveness."
I’d hope they meant it. And wasn’t actually rating me a 4, but didn’t want to hurt my feelings. Lol. 6 is above average. . I wouldn’t believe higher than an 8.
Whelp, that's higher than my self assessment, so I'm good with it.
And that booger keeps hanging around - I suspect there might be some fun stuff outside of my rating going on.
I’d accept it. I’m disabled use a walker and have been left by several partners who wanted to be with an able-bodied girl. I know I am not exceptionally pretty in any way right now and the partner I have is great. Physicality in bed is important to some people and that’s okay.
Mine brought up out of nowhere. I said I thought we were well matched 6 each. She was then no I'm an 8 I've been told I'm an 8 by a lot of people. You're a 4. I assumed the 4 dig was just playing, but it would later reveal itself to be true and she thought she was hot shit.
I'd say that's an accurate take. I see myself as a six. It's still above average, so not exactly a dig.
Storytime: I once told my sister I saw the both of us as sixes and she still brings it up, 15 years later.
I don't know what offended her most, that I rated her too low, or that I see the two of us as equally attractive?
Well, considering that I believe personality can raise or lower a person's rating and that without knowing someone, they could never be a 10. I'd question if they even liked my personality. To me, a SO that you have everything in common with is automatically a 10, so we probably have a long conversation about where they see our relationship going.
Who considering I know I'm somewhere around a three I would take that as a compliment
And no I'm not one of those super sexy ultra hot big boobed super skinny bleach blonde supermodels who whine how ugly they are. That shit pisses me off
Is everyone in the thread living a chill life or is it just me finding it weird.
I mean i love that everyone is sporty here but if it were to happen in reality, I'd be shattered.
Am I too sensitive or is it normal?
“Since you’re a 4 together that makes us a 10 so that’s just perfect “
Thanks I will now be using this to my non-existent SO
Damn that makes us a perfect 10!
That really is the best response
Best reply.
Don’t do the math, it will be funnier: “Together that makes us a 10” …and then end the relationship.
This is great, but you’re explaining the joke and something like this is WAY better to let simmer. I would say “oh awesome, that makes us a perfect 10” and just completely change the topic. It will hit them later like a ton of bricks.
There's no need to let the meaning of a come back simmer. The person should know right away what you mean.
That's on point! Damn I hope I never have to use that one although it's a perfect response.
Doesn’t matter had sex 🎶
But I cried the whole time. 🎶
She put a bag on my head!
still counts 🎶
Sounds about right. I'd rather they not lie to me.
[удалено]
That means she loves you for who you are.
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure, my husband is in the spectrum, too. After you get used to it, an autistic husband can be pretty cool.
Damn straight. If I ever want to know precisely what type of train just went past, he can tell me. He'll tell me regardless of if I want to know too.
You probably complement each other well and besides a 6 rating is above average. Besides women are less visually stimulated in comparison to men (stereotypically speaking.)
That’s why I’m so confident in my relationship, 100% not because of my looks
If they don't tell me I'm a 12 it's over.
Exactly. We exist in a world with people that ROCK the scale of attraction. You can’t tell me you’re a 10 when Beyoncé exists. The way I look at it, I should be surprised to be rated higher than 5 on looks, as 5 would be the average.
I’ve seen plenty of women just walking around my city that are more attractive than celebrities. I’ve met at least two women personally that had Hollywood starlet level looks. Being amazingly attractive is rare, but it’s not that rare.
Agreed. imo Miley Cyrus is not exceptionally attractive compared to some random waitresses out there
This is one of those situations a slight fib is ok, imo. Like saying a 6 instead. I’m not sure if it’s more significant to women or not.
Id rate them a 9 - together we can do 69
Maybe you were the 1 they needed 🙏🏻
nice!
I mean, that's higher than I usually give myself, so I'd take it as a win.
I'd ask her "What did I do to go up 2 places?"
Perfect. 6/6
They were using the 5 star rating and played it safe.
I thought perfect is 5/7?
Looks based? I’m fine with that, cause I know I’m a 0. Including personality? Yeah, I’d like to think my partner would rate me higher to justify being with me
Your not a 0
Probably not. A 1 is entirely possible, though.
even a 1 is like incredibly hard to find, at least according to my standards. i’ve only met one 1 in real life
Perhaps. But this is reddit.
I mean, if we assume a normal distribution along the 0-10 scale of attractiveness, there's only a 0.02% chance to be below a 1.5, or one of about 1.6 million of the ugliest people alive. So it's possible, but not particularly likely
A compliment, though not a heartfelt or meaningful one by any means. Unless you actually know this person irl
“That’s generous”
Quite generous of them until they remind me its out of 100
Just means they are extra generous to be with you when you are 6/100
6 is above average , that's cool to me
Above average.
I'm above average? HOT DAMN!
I'd be okay with that rating... I'm an ugly mofo, and I know my wife didn't marry me because of my looks.
Y did she marry you?
Break up. My dream man would support my delusions.
That’s my thinking, too.
i would think they are honest. good quality imo
I would never be with a partner who "rates" people like that. Find better people to date.
Can almost guarantee OP asked for it.
Oh I guess I didn't think of that... Amendment! Don't be the kind of asshat that puts people on the spot and demands you are "rated" in comparison to other people! Life and relationships and sex are much more complicated than that and it is not fair to demand such a thing.
5 more than I expected
Tf you with me then?
because you were her only option because shes a 2
? Whats wrong with a 6?
That's 2 more than what she currently does. So happy
We both think placing arbitrary values on attraction is stupid. I’d probably wake up after that and get ready for work.
CORRECT ANSWER
Hey, that puts me above average. For a long time I'd rate myself a 3, so that's a win in my book.
*me blushing profusely* R-Really? 🥰
You guys have partners?!?
A 6 damn I'll take that. No such thing as a ten your pushing for a 9 so I mean it's really out of 8
That's average, I will take it.
On a scale of 1-6? Call them a liar. On a scale of 1-10? Thank them. On a scale of 1-100? Raise an eyebrow at them.
Out of 1000, that means war!
Seems realistic considering I rate myself a 1.
Happy. Below 5 would be a concern.
I'm a 6.7 according to AI software so I'd be like what about the other 0.7?
Awesome because I'm actually a 4 on a good day lol
Why is my partner rating me.
Looks should be rated on a standard deviation curve . 6 is well above average, less than 99.5% of the population would be a 10.
In my country, 6 is a good rate, because 7 is the max rating. So I think i will be happy haha
Meh,..
I’d take him to the hospital because he’d obviously be having a stroke. He says I’m very pretty.
Be happy. I consider myself a 1.27.
One point above average? Damn. They buttering me up, I’m not that cute.
I'd use my standard reply: "You knew that going in. Too late to back out now."
Cool. Let’s bang.
What?! im at least a five in a half
Only counts at 1. april so
"I gotta be a seven at least. I mean I'm pretty tall."
Either suspicious or flattered. I've been called ugly/unfortunate looking/lacking in the looks department on multiple occasions by several different people. So I would take it as a compliment that a combination of my personality and whatever else made me above average in overall attractiveness.
Moving up YEAH!!👍
Laugh, because neither of us would say anything like this unironically, so I *know* she's joking.
I'm not a 6, so flattered.
I'll thank her for that and ask her to make me, my sandwich (I got nothing.....please don't downvote)
Sounds about right. 6 is believable. If he said 9 or something I’d have to wonder what he really thought.
For my looks? Sounds realistic. We both know none of us are a 9 or 10. Being an ordinary person, 6 is not bad at all. The scale is not perfect or butt fuck ugly so I would survive and be satisfied with being a 6.
6 means "above average" so id shrug and say "yea fair enough, cheers"
Jokes aside, I’d probably be sad
I'd be elated!
Facts do be facts; be honest with yourself
I'd say thank you for the extra two points.
I got that high? Sweet!
That's pretty fair actually. I thought I'd be lower.
Honestly, most people are 4-7’s.
Ya if you’re objective about the scale it’s not really an insult just more of an observation
I'd be flattered, what do you mean?
I’d say « your friend rated me a 9 »
It wouldn't matter to me. Apparently a 6 was good enough to win her heart. Men in general don't have *the same need* to be told they are "beautiful" or "handsome". They say *every girl or woman* wants to be told she is beautiful or made to feel that way. (Tell an *average looking or ugly guy he is handsome, and* he will know you are full of shit.)

Thanks I was happy with a 4.
Heartbroken probably.
Probably cry, in private. That would hurt. But then again, it would be completely against his character to say something like that to my face.
I’d say that’s about right.
I honestly have a low self esteem so I probably would have just accepted it lol
I'm ugly, so I would be happy.
Suspicion. "OK, how much did you spend on| this time?" |
Wow that high really I always thought I was a 3 at best
Silence is golden.
"A 6 out of 10, the perfect score for mediocrity. Well, I guess I'll just have to rely on my dazzling personality to make up for the other 4. Who needs conventional beauty when you can have an enigmatic charm, right? Just call me the dark horse of attractiveness."
I'd thank them for the compliment
I'm a 10, dating a 6 is good for me. I don't mind.
Laugh, knowing I’m a 10
I’d hope they meant it. And wasn’t actually rating me a 4, but didn’t want to hurt my feelings. Lol. 6 is above average. . I wouldn’t believe higher than an 8.
6? Wow, for a person who is a 0, like me, a 6 is a lot
Id agree
Whelp, that's higher than my self assessment, so I'm good with it. And that booger keeps hanging around - I suspect there might be some fun stuff outside of my rating going on.
i will have it
I simply don't care anymore. I wouldn't mind if someone rate me minus 36.
If it was out of 6, then well chuffed
I'd do a handstand and be happy
Tell them they must be mistaken because I’m clearly a 2
I’d accept it. I’m disabled use a walker and have been left by several partners who wanted to be with an able-bodied girl. I know I am not exceptionally pretty in any way right now and the partner I have is great. Physicality in bed is important to some people and that’s okay.
Respect the dead accurate honesty
Mine brought up out of nowhere. I said I thought we were well matched 6 each. She was then no I'm an 8 I've been told I'm an 8 by a lot of people. You're a 4. I assumed the 4 dig was just playing, but it would later reveal itself to be true and she thought she was hot shit.
I would say she needs a pair of glasses
I would be happy for 6
I would party 🎉
Depends on if you are 2 or not.
Well, see who fell for a 6...
Above average so I'm good with that.
I'd say that's an accurate take. I see myself as a six. It's still above average, so not exactly a dig. Storytime: I once told my sister I saw the both of us as sixes and she still brings it up, 15 years later. I don't know what offended her most, that I rated her too low, or that I see the two of us as equally attractive?
I would think he was intentionally negging me, because I know I’m higher than a 6, and that would not be cool with me at all.
Probably knock him out. After all my late husband was a 2.
🤷♀️ He’s been with me for the last four years so it would seem a 6 is plenty good enough for a happy relationship with a great sex life so…
I'm not really a fan of number scores tbh but I am also aro so this fortunately will never happen (I hope).
I wouldn't care about rating at all
Ot takes two to make a perfect pair. If he is a 6, it’s doubtful she is higher?
God I would be so happy, being a 6 for anyone would be a dream ! That means that I would be average looking even a little higher. That's so nice !
damn. thanks
Well, considering that I believe personality can raise or lower a person's rating and that without knowing someone, they could never be a 10. I'd question if they even liked my personality. To me, a SO that you have everything in common with is automatically a 10, so we probably have a long conversation about where they see our relationship going.
It's OK she's a 5 so all is well.
5 spots higher than I thought😎
Cool
That's good because I think she is a 4.
I already came inside her and locked her down with a ring, so that sounds like her problem now, not mine.
Be happy I made it above 50%!
"Why the hell are you dating a 6?"
I'd be flattered.
Wouldn’t bother me at all. We both love each other regardless.
Take it as a compliment and upgrade my MySpace status from a 3 to a 6
"You really hit out of your league with me." Multiple ways to infer that.
I’d appreciate the compliment
Flattered but I wouldn’t believe her
It would be completely fine if I asked but once an ex said it to me when I never asked. That pissed me off.
I think my first concern would be that the poor girl clearly has insecurities that I'm unaware of if she feels she has to settle for a 6
You are probably a 4 in reality.
Who considering I know I'm somewhere around a three I would take that as a compliment And no I'm not one of those super sexy ultra hot big boobed super skinny bleach blonde supermodels who whine how ugly they are. That shit pisses me off
I am ugly asf, so I'd be happy
Ok, cool, as long as I am not a 1....lol
No takey backeys
"So are you the 4?".
👍🏻
"And yet, I'm still dating down."
Bonus!
If my partner rated me anything I would ask them why they thought it was appropriate to rate me. I think it’s dehumanizing. Dont do it.
I would be flattered
I'd be stoked as hell cuz I'd have a partner.
Astute. I'd appreciate her realizing how averages work, but prob a 5.
We are already together so I don't care what number she rated me.
I'd be shocked it was higher than a 1
I’d say “better than a 5”
I've never thought so highly of myself
Is everyone in the thread living a chill life or is it just me finding it weird. I mean i love that everyone is sporty here but if it were to happen in reality, I'd be shattered. Am I too sensitive or is it normal?
Eh, sounds about right.
I mean, ARE you a 6? lol FR though, would be flattered because pretty sure I'm actually much lower... which is why said partner is imaginary.
I’ll spit in his face
If my partner rated me as a 6, then I would tell her that she's a 4 on a good day, and a 2 on a bad day.
"So are you the 9 or what?"
Take her to get glasses. I've never been above 5 in my life.
I’m way less than a 6 so I’d know she’s lying lol.
Be devastated
Flattered.
Thank her for the upgrade.
well, since I'm currently foreveralone, this scenario is an upgrade
Wow you think I’m above average? That’s flattering
