Not bad but too skinny. I'd work out more.

And when I said I rated people 0 to 3, that's because I don't actually rate people like that and I have to translate what I actually think into categories like that to be able to talk about beauty using the same language. The process of judging that takes place in my head is mostly unconscious and isn't very precise. This is what the categories translate to:
0- Ugly
1- Not pretty enough for me to want to date
2- Pretty enough
3- Very pretty
Fair enough man. To be honest with you, I think less numbers are better aswell - even it is besides your point. :)

Just be the person you are and those who matter won't mind.

Rubbish.

You of all people should know that attraction isn't subjective. It can be subjective to a degree, to a preference but there is a conventional standard of beauty. However looks can be a bonus if you are a male but people still take into account behaviour, status and income.

It is subjective.

Why would I know more than other people? Yeah there might be a general chunk of the population that prefer specific traits. But that's a very narrow way of looking at what attracts people, and whom it attracts.

What I said is 100% true. If it wasn't, no-one who is less than a supermodel or some rich guy would ever get a partner.

Attraction is both relative and subjective.

But there are general requirements and standards, it doesn't just relate to looks. It can relate to behaviour as well.

Saying that, not every girl is with a male model or a bodybuilder so you do have a point. Males on here like to blame their income or looks to justify why it isn't their AS that is causing them problems in relationships.

Kind of true, he doesn't really look horrible though.
