i don't think anything is wrong with men or women using the 1-10 scale for fun etc only is rude if they do it to others faces, or to shame hurt someone they don't like. most i date are around the 7 of the scale. i think youngcosmo made a thread in another section asking what most date 7s or up or below. nothing wrong with discussing it, not sure why michelle is being so gd rude in this thread not only to men but to joanna1 and also to ugly swan with that one or two comments directed to the women. this forum is for women to ask men what they think and how they relate either differently or the same as women and for men to feel free to reply without being attacked, neither the woman making the thread or the men politely discussing the thread should be bashed. big mistake, huge one. she even said it isn't up for "serious debate" so wtf.
i'll read the article you linked and the .5s are like bonus points, not quite a whatever # but close enough.
some one could tell me i was a 5 and i wouldn't care either, if you like yourself nothing anyone else says unless you are partnered with them should affect you directly. more men post rate me threads on this forum then women do so shows men want to be validated just as much, so not even a gender issue.
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
