How do you know when someone is a 5? Maybe you think she's a 5 but other guys think she's an 8. Then she would be out of your league. And these 5's that you are approaching - don't you think the would rather be approached by guys that think they are a 10 and not a 5? And how would going overseas help you? Do they have a different numbering scale over there?

When I tell Mr. CSD about your theory of rating, dating and how to get a wife he is just going to shake his head and ask me if the young ones will ever learn.

Original Poster: Whatever you believe is the truth must be the absolute truth just because you believe it so if that is what you need to get you through life carry on without asking those who know different what they think because you are doing nothing but wasting their time.

I'll say FK off to this attractiveness scale stuff. As it is, I'm already feeling so low and stupid about myself, then why push me into a deeper abyss. I'm a broke failure, and unfit for any woman regardless of my looks.

Lets put it this way, even if I looked drop dead gorgeous, my weak personality AND vulnerability as a family provider will get me nowhere.

I can tell who is average and who is above average. It's not very difficult to figure out.

Overseas (specifically in third world countries), they have less of a standard as far as looks go. They also value different things. In countries where the average height is shorter, they don't care about height as much. Other countries favor white skin. I've even been to a country once where women stopped me on the street and commented on how good my nose looked.

So, you mean in countries where they are desperate for things like food and clothing - they find you more attractive?

Look, if you want to decide what "number" you are and then adjust your entire life to fit what you have decided upon - nobody is going to try to stop you. We just think it's really, really, really stupid.

Yes. Go figure, right?

I'm not "deciding". It's the number that has been given to me. It is out of my hands.

Bwahahahahahaha! I'm not going to try to change your mind. But I think that is really, really, really stupid.

By whom? Your idiot friend who cut-and-pasted a post from Loveshack and sent it to you? (Yeah, hi, Google the first line of what you quoted.)

Look, I don't doubt there are leagues. To a certain extent, water finds and seeks its own level, and there have been a bazillion experiments that show that symmetry and the Golden Ratio count in determining beauty regardless of culture or country.

BUT, as has been pointed out several times on this thread, plenty of average and below average-looking people find love.

I think it's when people get hung up on finding the trophy hot partner that the trouble starts. Plenty of guys right here on this very board who say things like they would divorce a woman for putting on 25 pounds, and there is a lot of blather about how women's beauty expires at age 30. I'll be honest: I wonder how many of those guys are fug.

My friends list on there was filled with guys with long hair. I also miss Peter Steele something fierce. And yeah, the entire cast of Interview with the Vampire can have their way with me. That scene with Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas, where they come close to kissing?



I have an old-school Goth streak, so anyone who can get a good vampire look going is all right in my book. Those guys just didn't dig me, though. I used to go to this club in D.C. way back when, Asylum in Exile, wall-to-wall guys with long dark hair. Not one ever approached me, although a few asked me if I was a cop.

There's another fellow on here, posts sometimes about online dating, from New Mexico or Arizona, I believe, who has long hair. Good-looking guy, and I think the women in his area are stoopit for passing him up.

It's the dirty hippie/hipster/man-bun thing I don't like. So messy!
LOL... I'm an old school from way back metal head... I dig all music, but the metal is where it's at for me... LOL... I throw on the Slayer T and with the goatee and hair......I'm probably getting too old at 45 to be sportin the thrash metal head look... but **** it..... I ain't out to win any fashion awards....

My particular issues aren't as frowned upon in other cultures.

And I agree that below average people find love and that there are leagues, which is why I think it's a good idea to identify your number and stick to your own league.
