Basics : The Rating Scale
| Throwing out the "Rating Scale" |
Because we men are men and men are competitive, we feel the necessity to put a specific value on a women’s physical beauty. I have heard hoards of men talking about how they met a “10”, or how they accidentally hooked up with a 6. And I have a confession, I was no exception to the rule. I am guilty of having described women by a single or two digit number.
But this a long time ago, before I realized that rating girls on a 1-10 scale is a complete waste of time. Rather than try to describe between a 7 or an 8 or 9, it more beneficial to describe a women as “attracted to” or “not attracted to.” And you will notice this with men who are naturally good with women. A natural never has to say he is dating a 10. And he won’t. It is implied that he is dating a women that meets his standards. And because he has so many options, he is more than likely to choose a women of exceptional beauty.
In assuming you are a man of high standards and do not settle for women you are not attracted to, this should be no problem. There are only yays or nays. If you think she is attractive and worth attempting to attract, do so. If not, then do not. It is as simple as that. Of course this may mean setting the bar a bit higher (or lower). But it doesn’t really make a difference. Physical beauty is never quantitative. It is always subjective. One mans 10 is another mans 6. Furthermore, it makes more sense when judging a women’s beauty to simply answer the question “Am I attracted to her or not?”
