a good woman, just not a 10

[Simoni]

About 10 men wrote something about the 1-10 rating system.  Each had a different opinion.  Jazzy, that shows the true value of the rating system - it is worthless.  What one man may call a 9 is a 7 or 8 to another man.  It is worthless, yet as KenC said, is does enable rapid communication before a beachball interrupts one's thoughts.

I have a firm belief that my fellow man falls in love with a woman not because of her beauty but because of the person she is.  Her beauty may have  attracted him to begin with, yet after that, there had to be more, much more to decide to say "I do".

Perhaps there are some exceptions, and some immature men or men with psychological problems would line them up and choose the prettiest one.  yet the vast majority want more.

But back to beauty, I would not consider a woman unless I found her physically attractive, nor would I continue if I felt she did not feel the same (and few women can hide that feeling).  What is interesting to me, is that emotional connection (i. e., love) has a way of enhancing real beauty.

Good post, Bucky. I agree.  I remember guy talk about girls...and how some of my friends would think a given girl was HOT but she was not to me at all.  Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

Most of all I agree that the emotional connection is what makes the girl most beautiful to a man...
