Spends a lot of time and energy on her appearance and in conjunction is blessed genetically. Excruciatingly rare.

8: Hot.....movie star material, model material. The average model type, just a notch below supermodel. Can be in a swimsuit calendar. Spends time in the gym, cares about her looks, good genetics.

7: Very attractive.....stands out in a crowd, turns heads where ever she walks. Looks great in a bikini. Cares about her looks and spends some time in the gym. May have good genetics but not care or concentrate so much otherwise on her appearance.

6: Pretty.....may be 5 pounds or so over weight. Still looks good when she dolls herself up. Most guys would be happy to have a girlfriend in this class.

5: Average. Could lose 10-15lbs. Not unattractive, everyone thinks if she lost some weight and hit the gym she'd move up a notch

4: Just a bit below average, but not so bad. She could probably hit the gym, go on a diet, and benefit from a 'make-over' .

3: She realizes she needs to seriously alter her lifestyle into a more healthy and fit one. Might suffer from some medical problems such as acne.

2: Probably suffers from some mild medical problems in conjunction with unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Would benefit from serious overhaul in living habits.

1: Might have suffered a severe medical problem such as facial burns or been involved in a terrible accident.


uh... is this a logarithmic scale?

I think a lot of things would go into whether someone could objectively rate their S.O.. For some it would be a joy, while for others it might mean looking at things in a new light. I hope I am not thread crapping. Right now I don't have an SO, so I won't vote.

Hope you are doing well hotchic.

EDIT: I just wanted to add that I posted in that other thread. I hope no one takes offense in what I posted there or here.

If anything were to happen to her I'd dry up and blow away.

Are you able to objectively rate your S.O. on a 1-10 scale or is your view skewed by the fact that you like/love her? What would you say she is on that scale? (Let's see if we get a decent mid-range representation.)

On that scale? 10.1

Physically? 8.5

All-around objectively? She has her faults, but so does everyone (they're nothing huge anyway). Doesn't change the first rating above.

To be honest, there's something wrong with this thread.

While have a vague handle on the OP's comment, this is something that i though the OP was keen to avoid, or otherwise...

My So drives me nuts, she drives me up the wall with regards to sexy....but who honestly frackin cares? Any stupid woman can have her pics posted online and gain a following, but would I attach any meaning to that....?;)

1: Might have suffered a severe medical problem such as facial burns or been involved in a terrible accident.

That has to be the most descriptive and concise description of the 1-10 scale i've ever seen. It's also very similar to the scale i personally use. I go by something along the lines of:

1-4: varying degrees of unattractive
5: plain/avg
6-kinda cute
7-cute
8-hot
9-unbelievably hot
10- unbelievably hot + unattainable

Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn't use it. Everyone else kind of goes along this scale:

1-5: ugly
6: mildly ugly
7-ok
8-attractive
9-attractive + likes you
10-hot

Thus, the huge number of "10s" everyone seems to be dating. In our definition of a "10", you might see ONE, or very rarely TWO, in a hot club in a major city once in a while. You certainly don't see them on a daily basis the way most people talk. The problem with the "everyone's a 10" scale is that it's incredibly difficult to differentiate a "cute" girl from a "bombshell" because youre giving both of them a "10".

All that being said, the answer to the OP's question is "no."

uh... is this a logarithmic scale?

Its topheavy because 1 should be wolf ugly. I mean Angelina Jolie after facial burns will still be hot as hell.

1 should be like you would jump off a cliff than to sleep with that.
