I had previously avoided rating photos and even just now turned on photo rating for myself... Are Photo ratings, in general, a good or bad concept? We're all human, do we really need our ego's bruised and/or inflated in such a manner? Just asking!

I think photo rating is good as long as it's not taken too seriously and to heart. I rate them because I like my pic to be in as many peoples "fans galleries" as possible

I don't often rate photo's to be honest - however I think a good thing about it is that if you are too shy to contact someone you really fancy then you can give them a high rating to show your approval + if your'e lucky they might not be as shy and send you a thank you flower of something to get the conversation going
But unfortunately I do see a lot of ego bruising involved with people purposefully rating photos low to spite someone they may be jealous of etc.

Good point, I also experienced jealous women giving me a 1
I'm so upset I've turned my photo ratings off for the time being until my shattered confidence and broken repair themselves.

Very good tactic... that's how I started talking to someone I'm talking with on the site... he gave me a 10, I thought he was cute and liked his profile and sent a flower to say thank you, shorty after received an IM that lasted 3 hours and we're still chatting and will meet in June.

Dang - I should have given you a 10 instead of a 6.......

And hopefully follow up that visit with the Gathering in Vegas!?!?
You know you two could get Married there during the CS GT, if Love is in the air!! I'll volunteer to be the Worst Man (the guy that does nothing but show up for the Cake)...
Once in a blue moon,I'll give an occasional rating,and I GIVE EVERYBODY a 10. I figure,they're on a dating site and single,and everybody wants to feel a little good about themselves.
