Warning: Bad For Your Health.
You know what conversation I’ll never have with my girlfriend? Give up? Good. I’ll never have the conversation where we discuss my “rating” of her.
There are bad ideas in life and then there are TERRIBLE BUBONIC PLAGUE AND SYPHILLIS bad ideas. Discussing your rating of any close friends of yours is definitely one of them. File it in with shooting yourself in the left testicle/breasticle as “things you should avoid at all costs.”
Hmm…but Panama…why is it such a bad idea?
I’m glad you asked. Let’s think about this.
We’ve already discussed platonic friends so let’s just run with the idea that men don’t have platonic friends – we just have friends we haven’t slept with…yet.
[***DISCLAIMER: I don’t have those types of friends. All of my female friends are platonic!!!! You read that, baby? Did you? Did you??? (Yes my girlfriend both reads and responds on VSB.com)***]
So assuming that men don’t have platonic friends and that for the most part we just want to see women naked (and let’s pretend Kamilah’s story and her two homeboys’ response was an anomaly), why is this a bad idea?
For a few reasons, actually. For one, there is no right answer to this question. She won’t believe you for two. You can’t tell her you think she’s a 10 because of course you’re lying and she knows your lying because she knows she’s not a 10 because despite her thinking she’s perfect she KNOWS she’s not and you telling her that she’s a dime is just placating her and trying to get into her goodiebox.
And women aren’t stupid. They know when we’re just saying what they want to hear. Which is interesting if you think about it. I don’t think most women want to hear the truth, but they also don’t want to hear a lie. Women just like voices.
Conversely, if you tell your homegirl that she’s a 7 then you have to explain to her why she’s not a 10. And trust me, broham, you DO NOT WANT TO explain to a woman you’re trying to see naked what you think is wrong with her.
There are two truisms in life. One: Black men are highly sensitive, especially if they’re from LA. Two: Nothing makes a chick more defensive (read: less likely to sleep with you) than hearing about what YOU think are her imperfections. She may say that she appreciates that you’re honest with her…and perhaps she does, but it still stings to hear that you think she’d be so much hotter if she, ya know, got a different face and added a couple SOLO cups to her breast size..and not to mention that weird twitch her right eyebrow seems to do on Thursdays. And trust me pimpin’, you’ll HAVE to have this conversation because she isn’t letting it go, hombre.
You may just want to give her the rating and keep it moving. I know I do. I see a chick, I rate a chick, I scratch myself, and I keep it moving. Ain’t a woman alive that is going to say, “You think I’m a 7…cool. What’s on TV?”
Further, if you tell her she’s a 6, you might hurt her feelings (read: no drawz). If you tell her that she’s an 8, she may be happy but she’ll want to know what she would need to do to become a 10 to which you should just reply:
“Become hotter.” And then throw something at her to change the subject.
Tell a chick she’s a 9? Sheeeeeeeeeeit. You might as well get ready to spend your afternoon convincing her that you actually mean it AND telling her what she’d need to do to become a 10.
The bottom line is that you never want to have to tell a woman her flaws unless she specifically asks about them because it will never end well. It just…is.

Awww..thanks for the shout out!
At first I thought the “number generator” was a good idea…even tried to convince Champ, but now I totally get it…numbers are relative…it all comes down to timing, if the sheets are clean and whether we walked in the room with/without panties on…the goal is “doing it, doing it and doing it well”…unless of course you happen to be one of my two favorite anomalies, in which case the goal has already been achieved.

Amen for not rating women but how do we get someone to tell us the honest truth if we dont get the man to do it? our friends arent going to do it because we are liable not to be friends with them after they read us real good. I have said this before that NO ONE is perfect so none of us will get a ten. All of us have something to work on POINT BLANK PERIOD……even Halle Berry, Boris Kodjoe, Morris Chestnut, and ……they just have money that keeps them on the up and up.
So who is going to tell us what we need to work on?

i’m sorry, but this is terrible logic. a gay man isn’t gonna be an expert on what straight men think is hot because, ummm, he’s not straight. you cant ask somebody who isn’t attracted to your gender what people who are attracted to you gender find attractive.
i never understood the logic of women getting advice on how to deal with and be attractive to men from gay men and other straight women.
can someone please explain this to me?

Miss Patterson {July 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am}
i agree 100% with the comeback girl. it’s true a lot of gay men dictate straight female (& male) fashion. and when they put their skills to work, 9/10 you look way hotter than you would if you just dressed yourself. *please note- just because you’re gay does not mean you’re the arbiter of fashion. my ‘play uncle’ is gay, and if he had his say he’d have me lookin’ like condoleeza on a hot day.

@miss patterson: and when they put their skills to work, 9/10 you look way hotter than you would if you just dressed yourself.
except fashion isn’t why we think you’re hot. in general, just like men step up their shoe game to impress other men, you get all fashioned up for other women. we just dont want you to look a hot damn mess…and word to the wise…some of that “fashion” shit y’all think looks good…
…looks like a hot damn mess. word to sex and the city.
what you’re alluding to is your “flyness” not your hotness. just cuz a chick is fly doesnt mean she looks good. it means she dresses well (potentially), which doesnt get you hot points.

Deviant {July 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm}
The opinion of the gay man doesn’t carry as much weight as you think it does. How about instead of asking a gay due you ask a dude that wants to bang you what makes you more bangable when you wear it. I do that for the women I see naked. My thing is if you walking the streets with me I’d want you to highlight the abilities so I can see them. Why wear pants that make it look like you have no ass? Why put on a maternity shirt that makes you look like you have a beer gut?
Why do you assume gayness = fashion sense? Explain that. There are straight males with the ability to tell a woman what looks shitty or more bangable on her.
The Comeback Girl {July 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm}
“Why do you assume gayness = fashion sense? Explain that.”
I don’t think I ever made that assumption. You guys did. Champ asked why are women seeking advice from gay and straight women about what straight men like…
I only offered the fashion industry as an example of what sells. Gay and straight women define what the standard is not just for fashion but generally for beauty.
it does seem a little backwards. But don;t shoot the messanger for deliverying the good news according to Vogue, Madamoiselle, Glamour, Essence, and Elle.
Maybe the next time I buy a pair of shoes..I ll walk out the store and find a straight guy to give me the truth…since I can;t find a straight guy who only wants to be my shoe boyfriend.
Deviant {July 16th, 2008 at 1:39 pm}
you may need a gay dude for that cause I know I don’t care nowhere near as much about women shoes as you or some gay dude does to give you an opinion outside of “they look like shit”. To me it seems that should be the only opinion that mattered..whether or not your shoes are shit.
Deviant {July 16th, 2008 at 2:07 pm}
going back to what was said earlier…fashion..shoes..has nothing to do with hotness. Hotness means you are bonable in a burlap sack and flip flops.
The Comeback Girl {July 16th, 2008 at 2:22 pm}
what is hotness?
Deviant {July 16th, 2008 at 2:32 pm}
I guess its different from person to person but to me its natural beauty. Do I look at you and forget what I was thinking about? The girl you see down the street and just as you ask your boys if they saw it they already know what youre talking about without you finishing the thought. Its not something you can quantify..it just is. The opposite of ugly. I don’t even kow what I’m talking about right now cause I don’t even know how to verbalize what it is. It just is.
teeny {July 16th, 2008 at 1:00 am}
i’m inclined to disagree just a bit. women are masters at dissecting ourselves, blame the media, blame society, blame men…whatever. So on some level I think the question leads to either confirmation of faults that we already believe we have (which we already obsess over anyway) or a new perceived fault for us to obsess over.
And personally I’d much rather have my friend tell me I need to invest in a comb or my breath is kickin than my friend-guy who’d I would much rather imagine thinks I’m perfect and gives me the little boost of confidence every time he tries in vain to get in the panties.

WOW this is truth right here.
Sometimes what we get back in a rating is what we already “bought” and “sold” about ourselves. Maybe we really “told” brother man we were a six on a subliminal level…and he gave it back to us verbally.

There it is. That’s the problem with ratings. Most of the things that make you not a ‘10′ are things you can’t change, not even surgically if you were so inclined (’your eyes are too far apart’, ‘your face isn’t symmetrical’, ‘you have a big ass forehead’). So people just walk away depressed.

first and foremost…slow clap to Panama on the shout out to his girlfriend. that was sweet.
secondly, P you have never been more RIGHT in your life. Trust me ladies, you never want to hear a guy’s rating of you, EVER. i did this once, no twice. and both times i heard the truth and it stung. the first time i was compared to Lauren Sanchez on My13 news in LA and the second time to a naked Angelina Jolie. I think I spent the rest of the evening curled up in a ball in the corner of my apartment wishing i had the power of voodoo magic to curse the unnamed truth assailant. (I also had a secret death wish for every dime piece that was ever commented on for the remainder of that relationship. yes, i’m hard headed) My girl friends are liars, so that leaves me with one person I can count on for the honest to God truth and that’s (drum roll)….my mother. My mom is a gym rat and she expects the same of me (to a fault). My mother’s truth hurts no less than a man’s truth would but I know that there’s no hidden agenda in her telling it like it is. My mother sends me articles on visceral fat, bought me a pedometer for xmas and a special water bottle gym tote for my birthday. She also has a habit of reminding me about the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Black families (esp ours). Yeah, she’s brutal but I think I’d rather get it from her than a dude. So trust me when I say that I will never ever ever, foreva evah, ask a guy for my rating (again)! ~the end~

My scoring range for a everyday woman ranges from 8.0 - 8.5 .. +1 if she’s a professional ad model type or a someone on TV. But if she’s not a top notch woman I’ll just call her a 8.0 .. That way I still give her props on what she’s working with.. I just don’t tell her that the most she can get with out being a actress is 8.5 . It seems to satisfy their curiosity enough.

This is my impression on how I feel about the 1 to 10 rating:
Monk {July 14, 2008 at 7:26 pm}
I think a more appropriate scale would be that of a percentage…one may get a 0 - 100% as oppose to 1 - 10. As a result, we’ll be able to break things down more deeply and access other qualities that may be given extra credit but at a degree more accurate than just giving a point for that or a point for this.
We can also break down percentages based on things that are important to us based on our preferences. For example, in the looks department, one may be eligible for 50% points. Personality, another 25%…Intelligence and Wisdom, 15%…Sense of Humor, 10% (or however you wanna do your break down).
One would be eligible for extra credit points for other shyt they bring to the table such as being a mix between Emeril and G.Garvin in the kitchen, Martha Stewart and a hardworking Mexican housekeeper at the crib, and Janet Jacme and Vanessa Del Rio in the sack.
Damn, after typing that, why do I have a strange desire to watch “Weird Science”??
_________________________________________________
I reposted that just to say that we shouldn’t rate folks on a 1-10 basis (even though conditioning has led us to this) and we should be more critical in who we choose to be with.
With that said, if cleverly spoken a guy can talk himself out of that sticky situation by saying he don’t subscribe to the “1 to 10″ propaganda and he prefers a more open-minded approach to ‘rating’.

‘With that said, if cleverly spoken a guy can talk himself out of that sticky situation by saying he don’t subscribe to the “1 to 10″ propaganda and he prefers a more open-minded approach to ‘rating’. ‘
actually, the best way out of that sticky situation is to tell a woman that you don’t believe in rating women in the first place. it’s demeaning and degrading to reduce a woman to a mere number when she encompasses so much more. a woman is too special to sum up so easily.
just tell her that you can’t give her a rating because God keeps shingin a ray of sunshine down on one of his angels so its hard to see anything except the beautiful glow that she’s giving off.
yeah, that’ll do it. that’ll get you in a “sticky” situation…if ya know what i mean.

One time I made the mistake of asking a guy I was dating what he thought my rating was. I’ve always though of myself as a 7.5-8 but this man said I was a 6. My ego was all messed up especially when he proceeded to explain why I was a 6 and what I should do to realistically become an 8. As a woman I was not ready for such a detailed critique of my physical appearance. Then finally I asked him why he wanted to date me if I was only a 6 and he stated that he liked my intellect and personality. He also stated that he doesn’t know that many dark skin Black women who were higher than a 7. Needless to say I was fuming and wasn’t feeling ole boy too much after that comment and he definitely didn’t get any loving from me. Anyway ladies, don’t ask for a rating and men don’t tell because your answer will never be satisfactory. Nowadays I don’t ask a man if he finds me attractive, I assume in my own little world that he wouldn’t date me unless he thought I was a 10 hehehe.

you know, this actually is another reason why i’m not a huge fan of women approaching and bagging men, because stuff like this tends to come up more often.
women typically have more of a need to feel that their mate finds them physically attractive than we do, something which can be assumed off the bat if the guy bags you.

I remember that in my elementary school too. The boys would put a list together and rank the girls in order. They would tell all of us how we ranked (even though we didn’t ask). I came in second but one of my friends came in last. I never thought about it then, but it must have hurt.

If that’s the case, why are there a lot of supermodels with dark skin? I’m so tired of this whole skin color debate and I know that the media spreads this myth. I come from an African country that loves our range of skin tones and I’m so glad that my mom raised to show that we are all beautiful.

I have watched my girlfriends do this to guys all the time. They will go on and on until they get what they want to hear. I did this to my ex and he told me the absolute truth and I was pissed and questioned him about it. Once he got fed up with the me bugging the hell out of him, he reminded me not to ask something I didn’t want the truth too. Plus it help that he had been my best friend for years.
But this is question a man should never answer. Somebody else can answer it, but if you are in a relationship or plan on having sex with this chick then you shouldn’t answer that question. I have to let my friend read this post because you are talking about her…lol.

You know what that mugly chick is there for. Croud control. She is there to make the other ones look better. And she is the bail out chick in case there aren’t any par prospects. (we came together we leave together)

This is an absolute must! I dont have any ugly friends, and I honestly believe everyone is beautiful in their own way. But I do have a few friends and family members close in age that I just wont go out with. When I go out I like to wear makeup, put on a cute outfit, and make sure my hair is done. I used to feel so akward when I’d go out and I’d be the only one in the group looking like I made an effort.

Not the “assailant”???? LOL
I just never fully buy the rating all the way around. Its just to “self revealing”. When a man (who approaches and pursues and woos YOU) how bad could you in fact be??? He chose you!!!
And when it comes to personality flaws…people are the first to notice and judge things they don’t necessarily like about themselves.
Physically if a guy (who adored me last week) all of sudden thinks my ass is too big, well one of two things are going on. a) I’m projecting on to him that I hate my ass (cause generally it was the same size yesterday) b). there are again physical things about himself that he dislikes.
And then all around I’m questioning my choice in him. How do you go from pursuing someone enough to want them (and them to judge them as WAY less than perfect) Cause for me if I’m getting well below a 7. And you date 9s…well what is that saying about his judgement.

That’s why a woman shouldn’t ask such questions. And you are correct for all the reason you stated. There is no correct answer.
It is a common saying that we women want to be lied to. While we will never admit it, it is true. But we don’t think it is.
Now this doesn’t mean that we don’t have our days when we like to be coddled and made to feel “beautiful and special”.
But in general avoid answering any questions of ratings at all cost.
P.S. You know what’s even funnier? Most women would respond to what I wrote by saying ‘I am grown enough to handled being told the truth. I don’t want no one lying to me.”

Hayle nah…he already ASSumes he’s at least a 9…you telling he’s a 4.5 will label you, in his mind, as a “hater”.

word. and he ain’t gettin’ none of my money. in fact, that whole self-esteem big was the only part i found funny from his whole routine.
he’s way funnier as the pimp in friday after next than as katt williams, the comedian.

three questions that should never be asked under any circumstances by either parties in a relationship:
1. whats my score?
2. whats your (sex) number?
3. am i the best you’ve had?
3 is actually the only one that can ever be brought up in a positive manner, but only if the person you happen to be with at that time IS the best
[Reply]
GOODENess {July 16th, 2008 at 9:50 am}
all 3 of those questions are asking for t-lee’s famous throat punch…
1 - don’t do it…EVER!
2 - it doesn’t matter (s)he’s with you now, so dont go bringing up old shit!
3 - IF I am the “best” (so far)…then you will tell me, or I won’t know…but I will NEVER ask!

it wasn’t no “straight outta brooklyn” - possibly the worst black movie of all time to include the “trois” series, holiday heart, and any and all no limit movies.
hmm…add cash money movies too b/c those were just terrible. oh yes, and the movie constellation with billy dee williams, hill harper, gabrielle union, and a bunch of other ninjas with names you know…that movie was mothertrucking terrible AND un-entertaining.
oh yes, and any movie with ja rule in it. and pras.
you know what…there really are a lot of bad movies that get greenlighted…

how could you forget “love and a bullet”???? this movie is so unintentionally terrible that its actually watchable. it’s the black version of “the boondock saints”
miss t-lee {July 16th, 2008 at 11:21 am}
Holiday Heart and Trois—these are truly bad.
Trois wasn’t even sexxy…how you make a movie like that unsexxy? Shame!!!!
I’m Bout It was so terrible. How you gonna make a movie with sound so bad that I had to turn my TV on full volume and still couldn’t hear it?! I’ve watched bootlegs that were worse!!!
Let’s not forget about Just Another Girl on the IRT.

1 AND 2 should definitely never be asked. If the person really feels you, they won’t give you a straight/honest answer. #3…I don’t ask this of men (I’ve had quite enough validation of my “skills”)…and I certainly prefer they not ask me. “Is it good” will suffice. “Is it good”, if you’re working it out, will get an enthusiastic response. “Am I the best”…I WILL pretend I didn’t hear you. If you are, I’ll volunteer it, no need to ask…
[Reply]
miss t-lee {July 16th, 2008 at 10:07 am}
Seriously I asked a dude #2 question one time–his number was in the triple digits and I was instantly turned off.
Don’t do this to yourself ladies. Don’t worry about where he gained all the experience from.
Just get him tested, make sure everything is all good and proceed to get what you need.
Don’t ask me my number either, I don’t want “that look”. If it’s higher than zero, you’re not gonna like it anyway…CTFU.
[Reply]
JBoogie {July 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am}
See, that’s what I’m saying. A SMART man won’t ask me my number…he’ll just thank those that came before him and reap the benefits!

Miss Patterson {July 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am}
oh! that’s what the champ meant by “sex number”. i see, uh yeah, potentially a bad move. but i still ask it…and the sex # question has never provoked an argument. the other questions on champ’s list have however.

“Is it good”
The only acceptable time to ask this is during said act. I’m not even sure if it’s acceptable then, you should really know the answer, but at that time it’s more rhetorical I guess. LOL
[Reply]
Teacia {July 16th, 2008 at 10:50 am}
1. I lie about
2. I create an alternate reality and lie convincingly about
3. I’ve never had to ask…the squirting thing usually keeps me ahead of the game. But I usually volunteer the info good or bad…if ur getting kicked out at 3am know that i’ve had enough of you in my space to last a lifetime and that you will probably be excluded from my “fabricated” sex count.

Ah yes, the fabricated “count”…where mofos who couldn’t get it done are NOT included. ‘Tis true…if I get up after the deed and say something along the lines of, “well, I gotta get up early in the morning, so…um”, that’s your cue…and the last time you make that far.

I’d never even think to ask such a question. A platonic friend’s opinion wouldn’t matter to me anyway. If I’m not interested in you like that (clearly I’m not if you’re a friend) then, who cares? Especially when another guy could have a totally different opinion than the next.
If a guy gave me his unsolicited opinion in that way I’d think he was a nitpicky little b!tch. I hate nitpicky little b!tches.
