Subjectivity in views
I was cleaning out some of the folder on my computer and came across something interesting (see below). Several months ago, I found these descriptions of how some people described physical appearance. I know that it may seem as though I'm hung up on what I look like or what other look like but I remember when I was looking at these descriptions (combined from a three or four sites), that I was just wondering. I mean, you always hear about people saying, "Look at him/her. He/she is a 10" or "I can't believe he/she is wearing that outfit. I mean, they act like they are a 10 when he/she is a 4." Although looks are subjective, I had been curious to see if there was any kind of consensus on what people thought. It looks like the only consensus is that 10 is super hot, 5 and 6 is where most people fall (within the average range), and 1 repulsive. I just thought that this was interesting and wanted to share it...let me know what you guys think.10 - almost flawless, absolutely smoking, one of the hottest girls/guys you've ever seen
9 - best in show, very good looking, very hot
8 - hot (just not jawdropping), very good looking, extremely attractive
7 - very attractive, pretty cute, pretty/cute (hot at times)
6 - attractive, slightly above average, majority of world's population, easy on the eyes to cute, cute/nice-looking
5 - average, starting to be attractive or unattractive
4 - unattractive, little less than average, little below average but not disgusting
3 - ugly, starting to look pretty bad
2 - induces a gag reflex, bad, unfortunate looking
1 - run for the hills, sucks to be you

Hello, and Good Evening to you,
Personally a 0- (between -1 and -10 get the no vote from me). You ... however ... rate an eight +, in my humble opinion. I find you (to be) an attractive woman, a warm hearted human being, a highly intelligent person, and a very interesting individual. If I was living closer to you, I would emailing you to ask you to go out on a date with me!
Yours Sincerely,
David/Cloud94ever.

Thank you, you have made my day too!!
You are the first woman here at CS who said "yes" and
I shall treasure that always. I shall be looking into
acquiring a British Pass Port next year. It's about
time that I had one. Would you believe that I have
never had a holiday, and never travelled abroad as
an adult?
Yours Sincerely,
David/Cloud94ever.

One thing I've wondered - If something like "sense of fashion and style" is attractive to me... if I find someone with this trait... would it be smart to assume that since they value this trait (enough to become good at it themselves), they also value it in others? In this example, should I put more effort into my own sense of fashion/style?
Lots more to this though... all the things that attract us and the things that would chase us away... and how we should value these things... a soup with many ingredients... and the time it takes to learn about another... and for each to reveal themselves... and how honest we're each being... and when the truth comes out...
I like putting my cards on the table ... face up ... few others seem willing to do this ... it doesn't work if only one does it ... I tried.
