I think you are overestimating yourself a bit. From what I've seen, I can't imagine even a 0.5 agreeing to it. But you can always go ahead and buy one in the 3rd world, I suppose.

What the hell? Are you a 10? I don't think women should be rated at all. We are people not cars..or things. I do not like men that look at women in the way that you are doing on this thread. I am not a number; I am a person.

Watch out, smel, he's gonna call you a "feminist 2". Because the idea that you are a person and not a car is extremely radical and totally offensive to men like the OP.

Fair enough. But I think I'm going to have to leave that to other guys.

That has not been my experience. The best friendships I have had with women, are with women I am not attracted to, in fact I do not think I have ever been platonic friends with a girl I was physically attracted to. In my experience, there is an entire level of awkwardness and drama that comes with even trying to befriend someone I am physically attracted to that makes it impossible and the OP's last sentence is the entire root of this problem.

"But on the bright side as long as you don't act like a lovesick puppy around them they'll make a guy an excellent friend and perhaps more."

If someone is socially compatible and is physically attractive there is almost always going to be a push for "perhaps more" and if they do not want "perhaps more" it will often ruin the relationship after much drama and fanfare.

Just when this site was starting to bore me to tears, a couple of interesting threads are started!

I'll second that.

I've noticed that average looking women develop other qualities that are respected by women and men. Very attractive women/girls can be catty and gossip about others.

It's been quite some time since I based friendship on looks. My mother was very clear about looks being less important than character and she was right.

As for men--kindness, courtesy and integrity transform average men into princes.

Fantastic post. The best friendships are ones without any physical attraction.

I am quite weary of these threads though where a question is proposed, but yet the OP already defines his version of the answer as if it is the almighty truth.

They aren't. Its just that you're more willing to put up with crap from a 'good-looking woman' than an 'average-looking woman'.
