    I don't think he was trolling, I just think he might be a few biscuits short of a tin.

    If she is not as ugly as the mother-in-law, she is good looking.

    So does the wife not resemble the mother-in-law :confused:

    I use football teams -

    Ive been with lots of West Broms before - they are very good at going down.

    Been with a few Man Utds - They love being on top

    Been with plenty of Liverpools - they think they are so much better than they actually are

    etc etc

    The OP didn't ask that - and attractiveness doesn't just mean looks, that's only one aspect of attractiveness.

    Going to the trouble, David Attenborough like, of examining the looks "standards" within different groups/creating a mathematical looks rating system - no, I don't do that. I judge a person's attractiveness based on my own criteria which isn't subject to the approval of my peers. Attractiveness is, after all, subjective.

    For me its a scale of one to ten.

    one being sober.

    ten being unable to feel my extremities.

    Alcohol makes girls so much more attractive. ;)

    Similar methodology

    Champions
    Top 4
    Europa League
    Mid table mediocrity
    Relegation struggler

    The lower ranking always has the opportunity for a good cup run and the youngsters can be brought out for the carling cup:D

    ah come on now, you are getting too caught up with the peer thing....we all rate people on physical attractiveness within a few seconds of meeting them and if someone else happens to have the same view as ourselves i.e. person x is attractive, that doesn't necessarily make us sheep-minded shirley

    It might sound like a cliche but unless once someone can make me laugh & I feel comfortable around them then I don't really care what they look like.
    Plenty of good looking people have no personality at all & are usually shyte in bed :D

    Difference between "Look at him", "Yeah, he's hot" and a rating system/observing the socialising habits of people who occupy various strata on the "scale". That said, it seems men are more wired to notice the visual than women are, which is totally fair enough, but actually going to the trouble of the above? Seems autistic/adolescent/dumb frat boy.

    it's fairly harmless, in my view, unless your whole value-system is based on the physical attractiveness of the person in question.

    Also I don't think it's a lot of trouble to say "I think your one is an 8, what do you think??"

    You can call it autistic but I think men in particular prefer a more specific, clinincal assessment than something vague like "he/she's not bad/cute" etc etc

    Purely physical attractiveness isn't the same thing as sexiness. How physically pretty someone is is only part of the question of how much you'd like to end up somewhere private with them (or public, if that's your particular preference). Nicole Scherzinger is very pretty, but Natalie Portman did an insanely aggressive rap on Saturday Night Live and may have faked being a Zionist in order to work with Alan Dershowitz while at Harvard. Granted, Natalie Portman is also extremely attractive, but so are any number of people in Hollywood - it's not her looks that set her aside.

    Attractiveness is TOTALLY subjective, and not just about looks. Beauty isn't always subjective though, e.g. even if you don't fancy Cheryl Cole, you can't say she's ugly-looking - well you can, but that's like saying 30 degrees celsius is cold.

    Not in the literal sense, but obsessed with order, putting things in a mathematical context, etc.

    I should clarify: Natalie Portman doing those things makes her incredibly sexy.

    who what when
    Registered Users Posts: 810 ✭✭✭who what when


    Im a simple man myself so I use the binary system.
    Either 1 or 0. Nothing else.
    1 = yes i would.
    0 = no i wouldnt.

    The 1 to 10 scale is just a waste of brainpower!
