NoraSo to sum it up... it's kind of your overall vibe from reading the person trying to gauge them as a overall person etc. pretty much the way I see it to.
Yeah, but good luck with that one. given the people around here... I would not be in a hurry to do something of that sort.
Yeah, because while there is only a small percentage of people in here compared to the general public when you look at EVERYONE out there, I would have to assume most people (as in majority) are somewhere around the average range, give or take a little. plus, since you brought up the 10's and 1's thing... I would not be surprised if the 10's were a overestimation and the 1's could be a underestimation as, just in my opinion, there are not many on either end of the extreme when looking at all people. but don't get me wrong, I am sure, when looking at individual people, there will be plenty in the below average or lower range but when looking at all people I would have to assume most are around average give or take. like say if you put things into five simple categories... ugly/below average/average/above average/cream of the crop that the vast majority would be in the below average/average/above average range (with most people being average-ish). it would almost have to be otherwise the rating scale would be flawed.
Yeah, but I think that's partially because of how society see's things as women are pressured to look good etc where as guys are not as much.
deembastilleI would not read into those words too much.
while I completely understand your point about the guy you talked about, and he does appear to be someone people are best off avoiding, I would not worry too much about the whole 'hot' 'pretty' or 'interesting' words. some people might not be all that great with words. but with that said... I could see how some people, like you did, might interpret those words the way you did because 'hot' may imply that they 'just want to get in your pants' sort of thing where as 'pretty' or 'interesting' (and the like) does not seem to imply that (or at least not as much).
just for me personally... I guess when judging a random female(since I am a male), I tend to use 'overall attractiveness' (or similar wording) which is basically, like it says, someones overall attractiveness which is paramount with the person as a whole which basically factors in a wider range of things, like say face/body and that special something that makes them tick which is difficult to explain. but that extra something tends to trump other things as face and body is nice, as I am sure we all need to have some level of standards here, but even if that's great and even if the person might be considered 'decent or good looking' by most people, they might still not be nothing special if they are missing that extra something that makes them stand out which can't really be explained as it's pretty much something someone has or they don't. just some random thoughts
That person seems to be consumed by lust.
I know a guy is a guy and all, but still, you got to draw the line somewhere.
Yeah, speaking of that crap... I don't like when people dye their hair to some unnatural looking crap. it just looks like crap. like that super bleached blonde crap or some off-the-wall random green/blue/pink etc
like people can change their hair color etc, and that's fine, but you want to keep it within 'normal' looking hair colors that people can naturally have. go much outside of that standard, and it's crap.
BATouttaheckAgreed.
because I imagine that probably some general ball park thing on how it starts because I would have to assume most people would be along those lines, at least to some degree, because even if some people are nice etc once their looks drop below a certain point it becomes too difficult to overlook. like if your not at least average-ish in looks chances are not good for you especially if you ain't got some kind of special charm about you etc that draws people towards you.
but I wonder if that's partially the case at times where you see some random couple out in the world who one of the two seems "out of the others league" but maybe the person who we perceive as the lower of the two has some kind of charm etc the other see's in them etc. which helps make them stand out a bit etc.
but I guess the more I think about this stuff... I think as long as you got something about your personality or charm etc that stand out from most people and your looks are at least average or a bit better you might be comfortably above most people because of that vs those people who might have comfortably above average looks but are lacking that 'extra something' (say charm etc) about them which brings them down. but don't get me wrong... some people got it all basically with well above average looks and got that extra charm about them etc. but I would imagine most of us probably got one or the other, or might just be, well, pretty average-ish in both personality/looks etc. but average-ish range can still have some decent qualities here and there as average does not mean crap. just some random thoughts
@deblovesbeccy
I would not entirely say that because as you see people over the years, without knowing them personally with the details etc, we all can sort of form a rough opinion of them giving what we know and then simply convert that overall judgement of them into a number.
but I guess if we only strictly had a picture to judge someone on that could skew things a bit because a picture does not really get across how someone comes across etc, like you can't see their qualities as well in a picture at times vs say seeing them in person or at least a video of seeing them interact with others etc for a bit.
I am sure you get the gist of what I am saying
ellynmacgYeah, that's always a good way to look at things.
also, I noticed, which I imagine others around here would agree with is that some couples just click together. like they just have that extra something that gives you the general impression they work better than most couples (like even amongst my cousins etc, you can tell some of them seem to click better together than others). I don't see that too often but you do see it here and there.
Toasted Cheeseonly pre-dominantly? ; it's ENTIRELY a female thing.
only times guys wear some makeup is pretty much when they are in front of a camera in Hollywood etc. outside of that, it would probably look pretty weird for a guy wearing makeup in my mind. hell, there is no way in hell I would be wearing makeup and it's pretty safe to say the vast majority of guys would agree with me simply because there are just some things that are basically 'female only' sort of things and that's one of them. sort of how I don't know how some guys wear the 'pink' color as that's THE color I would not wear. period. it's too affiliated with females.
I am a guy and it's obvious what it's purpose is... enhances females looks basically. but it's only good when used correctly as some people, not many but some, go overboard and ends up making them look worse. NOTE: females reading this... don't worry, chances are your not one of those people
but I would imagine most females you see pretty much know what they are doing with makeup stuff because you can tell when they are doing it right in that we(us guys) don't notice it too much. like it enhances their looks etc but it's just one of those things you take for granted. but it's only when they start caking it on their face etc (which is typically not the case) is when you start noticing it, but in a bad way.
marianne48It's all about shape and how they fit the body as size is not that important. I doubt I am the only guy who feels this way.
but don't worry, we don't need perfection or anything as even decent is good enough
; so if ones weight is roughly normal-ish, odds are their body can't be bad and at the end of the day your either attractive or your not in a basic sense as if someones weight (even a little over ain't the end of the world(especially if it's proportioned right
)) is around normal they basically don't have to worry.
Good luck with that. it's not happening for the vast majority of us males in my mind.
like some basic care (to keep yourself more presentable and the like) is as far as things are going to go for us guys. the hell with the excess crap
; but I guess you can't blame them for trying because it's more $$$ for them if they can tap into another market, even if it's a small one.
