question to dudes: do any of you rate women on a scale of 1-10 on a regular basis?

i don't rate dudes this way
i'm also bad at math

no i use the theo huxtable/ cockroach burger scale.

no but i know someone who does. not surprisingly he is a huge tool.

Results 1 - 10 of about 46 for "cockroach burger". (0.16 seconds)

i use pitchfork ratings

I do not do this.

10.0+ Epic Never recorded; see below for equivalent seismic energy yield.
Extremely rare (Unknown) -- it is estimated that the impact that supposedly wiped out the Dinosaurs had an equivalent magnitude of around 16-17, twice that of any known earthquake

In answer to the thread title question: No.

nah i dont, i always feel weird about issues of pro-rating, and then also about being objective?

my buddies do this a lot, but only for effect. "i just saw a 9 at the grocery store"....etc..

come to think of it, they are always a 9!

like what if cindy crawford walks in? you give her a 10 obv

then what if mindy crawford her slutty sister walks in SMOKING A JAY??

I rate women on a scale of Axl Rose pictures a la Buddyhead.

what about that commercial for like some liquor where the three guys are sitting around discussing whether or not their waitress' boobs are real? i know this is unrelated but i find that commercial hilarious and feel kind of guilty about it, but not really.

not enough detail in numbers.

big LOL on mindy crawford

;)

in college we also invented the "subjective scale" where you assume yourself to be a 5 no matter how good looking you are, and then rate others relative to that...a 6 is a girl slightly better looking than you, 4 slightly less, and so on. this became unexpectedly hilarious...

I rate women a 10. Love 'em.

Prindle System for me

http://www.markprindle.com/seven.jpg

Mr. Que is your scale logorithmic, i.e. a 6 is 10x hotter than a 5??

i am unaware of anyone doing this

this is some middle-school dorm shit

who the hell lives in a dorm during middle school??

yeah never done it, don't know anyone who does.

i am still chuckling at mindy crawford and her JAY

well i was gonna say "fifth-form dorm shit" but the yanks wouldn't know what that was and the englanders would be like "LOL PRIVATE SCHOOL" thus derailing the thread into a pointless snarkfest

basically if you are 13 years old and are in a communal dormitory this is how you grade girls, possibly with a breakdown, viz. breasts, face, legs'n'ass, hair and personality, each out of 10, altogether out of 50

the key words here are "on a regular basis".

ok, i thought maybe there was britishness involved

lol @ rating girls' hair

xpost

we were a fairly horny, inept bunch

fwiw i only ever noticed this being used when looking at vice dos & donts, so yah it is for tools

i prefer a simpler traffic lights system

i've found the "interested/not interested" binary system works ok.

lol xp

i guess my scale goes from "kinda cute, i guess" to "cute" to "fine" to "fine as hell" to "ridiculous" to "off the chain".

I rate women on a 1-10 scale all the time, but only regarding the content of their character.

^^^ever since i moved to l.a. i've done this

Look, I don't care if you're an 8, a 10, a 7, a 3.5 or whatever...

lol @ rating girls' hair

man, i rate hair. i don't do the 1-10 stuff, but when i see a girl from behind with a nice figure and nice hair i enjoy predicting whether or not her face will match its attractiveness.

"figure"

Never. It's not that we don't check out chicks or comment on them, but a numeric rating scale is too reductive. It's more along the lines of, "Wow, nice {salient female physical trait/s}!"

get a loada them gams!

Sometimes I'll use the Scoville scale. Yesterday I saw a girl who was pure capsaicin.

I also point out when a lady is particularly well put together sartorially.

i like the scoville scale thing

If you conflate nice and spineless, you're gonna have problems.

aaand wrongthread

No, and the phrase "with your buddies checking out chicks" alone makes me cringe.

(I did do this once, in high school, on an overnight drama-club field trip. We rated the girls in the club on both looks and personality and then averaged the results.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^YES THANKYOU FINALLY

there obv are, this whole thread is full of dude denials

im just saying that i think appearance is important to both, as a general rule, but maybe in different ways

or maybe i'm totally wrong, now that i think of COSMO MAG QUIZZES

-- elmo argonaut, Friday, June 6, 2008 4:30 PM (1 minute ago) Bookmark Link

arent quizzes like that more like "what does your mans appearance tell you about his behavior"-kind of things??

im just openly theorizing here, not pretending to be an expert

The obvious outcome of this rating system is getting stuck with a thin but ugly woman. Long Island is safe.

appearance is generally crucial, as are other factors, but you cannot pigeonhole a delicate and subjective interpersonal dynamic in a single blow

also my wife is curvaceous and colombian etc

no kidding

What if men judged women according to their resemblence to arabic numerals? A 9 would be slim and stacked, an 8 would have an houglass figure, a 7 would be the thin-with-ponytail-thru-ballcap type. 6 would be for the ass-men. 5 would be fat, but easy, etc.

there is a woman down my local pub who is the spit of a 30-something bryan ferry.

does her boyfriend look like Jerry Hall?

No such things as generalizations LJ wins again go home fools.

w/r/t women being more forgiving when it come to physical traits, i will say this: i've definitely seen avg (in most respects) girls sort of dismiss perfectly non-jerky, otherwise avg dudes when teh ladeez are doing a night out/dude safari.

i haven't personally seen a lot of the inverse - i.e. dudes (even "hot" ones) being dismissive of avg-to-not-so-hot girls that do the approaching. if there is no interest, they'll at least be cordial and probably flattered (or get drunk and hook up anyway).

obviously there are some complex social/sexual dynamics at play here that have likely been investigated ad nauseam. i'm just your humble reporter.

but yeah, ranking looks 1-10 after age 16 is hell of lame.

dude, rephrase.

haa yeah i think there is some degree to which appearance of guys to the ladies is changed to "we just had a connection"

not saying its any different for dudes, just that dudes are less likely to be picky about sex but more likely to be more abrasively judgemental verbally

i should note i don't spend a lot of time around the artificially tanned/ highlight n' product gym-rat bros that populate the local meat markets. they may be totally shitty to any girl that doesn't look like she hopped off the cover of Maxim for all I know.

haaaaa yes learning about this trick was awesome.

i keep thinking of that scene from Lovely & Amazing where the nekkid wannabe actress asks for a critique from some actor she just slept with. pretty brutal.

the other thing about this is that it totally depends on the dynamic of the evening ... if yr at a club w/ fewer females, they become pickier, and vice versa. but thats an on the town thing where yr not exactly 'getting to know' ppl anyway

i think girls being really mean and dismissive to potential suitors who don't make the grade is down to them being approached more than the other way around. if a girl came on to me (unlikely, i know) then i'd at least give her the time of day and be polite because:

a) it hasn't happened for years

and

b) i'd admire her confidence

also, men, y'know sometimes, we can be a bit rapey and stuff.

^fair points, hence the complex social/sexual dynamics at play.

yknow, sometimes girls don't want to be approached in bars. girls being out with her friends != trolling for cock

hahahahahaha

and other times girls complain about not being approached

i dont think anyone in this thread was acting butthurt about rejection

-- bell_labs, Friday, June 6, 2008 10:55 PM

well, yeah.

girlpacks are far more likely to fuck w/ you no matter what the reason than
guypacks are

can we have a who is worse girls or guys poll

if a group of girls are talking to one another and some dude comes up and barges in our conversation with a stupid line (or even not with a line! one time this guy just came up to me and a group of friends and just stood there. so awkward) i will be straight up mean.

i generally am not at bars to meet potential suitors unless it's pre-arranged in some way. but yeah, this is why i prefer approaching myself. dnw pick-up artist scumbags.

that has already been done deeznuts

Hmm, does approaching a girl in a bar or striking up a conversation necessarily mean that your offering your cock, though?

what characteristics do u decide to approach based on? genuinely curious

my decision to approach anyone is usually based on me being full of alcohol.

yeah but you dont even have to approach a girlpack is the thing, a lot of times they see if they can get yr attention because of their wangs

-- Michael White, Friday, June 6, 2008 11:00 PM

oh come on, we all know it does.

pretty much

Not for me, it sure doesn't.

good

no wonder the signal to noise ratio in bars is so wonky.

As a rule, a gentleman does not introduce himself to a lady; he must be introduced first.

I'm no gentleman, to be sure, but it's not like I'd offer my cock to every passing fetching lass. That's precisely what conversation and banter are for; to see if you might be interested.

TS: scale of 1-10 vs. "how many beers?"

I sort of like the latter's implication of inevitability

MW- ur like that dude in 'the game' who made ladies pay for the pleasure of giving him oral sex. Awesome.

you guys all totally do this, stop lying

I do this.

I'm pro the 'Hot or Not' scale by which all participants are judged to be either 'Hot,' or, potentially, should the situation require it, 'Not.' This reduces all romantic decisions to one binary yes/no. Which is to say, the scale is not 1-10, but really 0-1.

(Now someone go and make this into a counterfeit XKCD comic.)

yknow, sometimes girls don't want to be approached in bars.

this. most of the time (all of the time these days) i don't want to be approached by dudes. but i don't go to meat market bars, so when it happens it happens in other captive-audience situations, like at bus stops.

I dont like being hit on mostly because I suck at small talk

also that aspie 1-10 scale above is stupid because it doesn't acknowledge personal taste.

my buddies use the "poke or no poke" system.

if its a poke, a second question of stick or dopple stick is posed.

The numeric rating system is one I've used for 35 years in evaluating actors' auditions, and so we thought it was the best way to go regarding submissions at the Virtual Studio.

A 1 signifies the worst work in its genre you've ever seen, and 10 the greatest. In my long career, I never gave an actor a 1 nor a 10. It seems the best actors I ever saw were in the 7 - 9 area, and conversely, the worst were 2 to 4. Of course, the 1 and 10 are reserved for that certain submission that you really hate or really think brilliant.

Obviously, as with the actors', this system is only the beginning. It gives the clue as to which should be called-back or re-read by the producers and staff.
