112. I'll get flamed bad for this...
and with all due respect to the original poster...

Threads like this are nothing more than an opportunity for traditionally attractive people to show what seems to be false modesty, under-rate themselves, and then wait for everyone to jump in and tell them how they should be rated higher. As soon as I saw this thread pop up, I knew people would be jumping on this like flies on shit.

When I was in high school, the boys used to call out a rating when the girls walked by. Frequently, they would yell out one, two, even negative numbers. Then you would have the lovely experience of seeing them blush and put their heads down and walk away. As I aged and thought about these situations, I realized that those instances were probably never forgotten by the benefactors of this "rating system".

This whole idea of rating is pure fucking steaming horse shit. It carries from childhood into adulthood, and it is the stupidest goddamn thing I have ever seen.

I can look at a woman or a man who most people would consider ugly, and find something supremely beautiful about them. So what do I "rate" them? I have no idea.

By the way, I'm a fucking 10.
