Can we just not with this numbers scale crap?

Seriously. It makes you sound like an ignorant fuckwad.

I mean, it's just a convenient shorthand for how conventionally attractive somebody is.

I mean, it's used only for women. I mean, it's used by immature people who think the most interesting thing about a woman is her attractiveness versus other women. I mean, if you want to sound like a backwoods neckbeard, be my guest.

Except this secret demonstrates that it is not used exclusively for physical attributes, but to denote how desirable someone is on a purely subjective level, as in someone with geeky interests will rate higher than some people think their physical appearance warrents.

Also we are on the internet, in a fandom space. Fandom being that place where people write and draw about made up characters putting their willies in other made up characters. Can we not bash people for immaturity? Immaturity is no bad thing and is in fact our very lifeblood.

Finally, "it's used only for women" So, 1. You've never ever seen a man judged on that scale all on his own? and 2. You've never seen a man judged on that scale next to his partner? You've never heard of somone complain about how that worthless looking dude is with a beautiful woman? You've never heard "He's a 6 bit she's a 10, what is she thinking?"

Hahaha. I can't believe you wrote this essay to defend using a numbered scale to rate women's attractiveness. Can only give you an 80%, though, you're two paragraphs short.

You are 11/10 bitter, aren't you?

See, that's an actual amusing way to use a numeric scale. My bitterness goes to 11.
