She was a 10, I'm a solid 4 when I get all done up.

I thought you were talking about age...

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Damn. No. We were in our early 20s.

I did too at first! Just like oh fuck where is this sentence going...

If she’s not done up would she be a 6-7? You need to catch her then!

Seriously though she’s a 10 in your eyes because she’s I assume pretty plus you like who she is as a person. Maybe you haven’t accounted for how she sees you as a person. I guess what I’m saying is we all assume pretty people won’t be into us because we’re not attractive. But by doing so you’re judging things by looks too. If you truly like the person take a shot and get to know her and show her who you are.

Honestly finding love is a grind. Not by pure chance. I tried and failed so much before I met my wife and I owe it to those failures. It made me a better partner but also a way better first few dates.

She was literally the girl who people stopped and got her to pose for professional pictures on the beach and I'm the guy they'd forget was there. But we got along great.

If you get along great who cares?

I saw a 10/10 girl on the bus the other day and she was with a guy who looked like Asian Ron Jeremy. (and that guy was just average guy on the bus, I doubt he has fame or the dick to compensate like Ron Jeremy use to)

4 isn't bad. 5 is the average, 4 is just slightly below, so still fair.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed! I'm not ashamed of my looks, when I put a suit on for work my wife compliments me almost every time and I feel so pretty.

Not only that but people tend to rate themselves slightly lower than what they really are
