Have you ever had relations with a, "10"?

My high school girlfriend was a 10 - intelligent too - cheerleader and all that. I was in over my head. I suspect her parents were keen on her dating a nerdy state track champion who did not get into trouble and was in advanced classes, and that was the driver of the relationship.

This was a long time ago, but I still care for her and I even began to see that she carried an odd sort of burden with her looks. She dumped me, of course, but at any time in my young adult years I would have married her on the spot. I could have pursued her in my mid 20's, but just lacked the confidence to do so. It was for the best, though, that this did not happen, as it would not have been a balanced relationship (even though I am very successful financially now and otherwise).

She never married for reasons I cannot fathom, and left a high profile professor position at one of our better universities to do charity work for the poor in South America.

I miss her to this day, although certainly have no illusions about the relationship and its imbalances, and even though I was an immature guy at the time, the experience helped me over time relate to women in a far more kind and considerate way than I otherwise would have. Good relationships require work, and like it or not, you often have to feel you are giving more than the other person, and one must do it without too much regret.

This is likely far too serious of a response to this post, but heck, this is Lets Run.

While I don't doubt your high school girlfriend may have been attractive, I do not believe she was a 10.

There certainly are girls who don't work for victorias secret who are a ten. However, the people saying "there is no such thing as an objective ten" are flat out wrong. There are objective forms of beauty identified by symmetry, body measurements, skin, hair, etc. Just because your wife or girlfriend doesn't fit that, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I don't know if you are an idiot but that is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read on here and, to be frank, I have read some dumb $hit on here over the years.

You must be one of the people I mentioned in this post. Being a chubby chaser is a fetish, and it certainly doesn't mean there isn't a universal standard of beauty.

Brother, saying doesn't make it so.

But please, for the sake of all of us who haven't discovered this universal standard of beauty, lay it all out there. I would like to know the symmetry, measurements, skin and hair that are universally accepted as the standard for a perfect "10"?

Good for you for admitting that. Fat girls deserve some loving, too.

I've done up to 11.

yes, I had relations with what I would call a "10".

I've had one, maybe two 10's. She didn't have large breasts, so that's why I'm not sure. May have been a high 9. But she was a tall blonde super model type. She actually is a model. And flexible. It was amazing.

I've also had what I would say was a 3...a couple 4's and 5's. I would say I average a 7-8 though.

My current girlfriend is a high 8 I would say.

This thread is fun.

It is fun.

My first was a solid 8 but her mental health made her a questionable 8. The first nevers last as I had to explore myself and others.

Later, I had plenty of 9 relations but these women too, carried baggage of some sort. The baggage was extreme considering they became deal breakers. Stuff like, ex boyfriends trying to kill me, etc.

What's intersting is how far a 10 is from a 9 - An 8 is so much closer to a 9 than a 9 is from a 10.

My six was a strict six. I kept the relationship for the short term. The warmth of her flabby bossums and the companionship with her cats was nice at first. Then the typical 6 text messages seemed to haunt me and I had to squash the relations right before Christmas that year. If she was a solid 8 I could have settled.

I think the best for fun is a 9 who thinks they are a seven.

Well said, really really tough to beat a 9 who thinks shes a 7, really tough.

'Naw, my best was a solid 9. She would have been a 10 but popped a leak and couldn't be repaired.

Dude, you need to read Pygmalion and understand it before your Galatea kills you.

Yeah, googling "model" will of course bring up some hotties, but still the 8/9/10 ratings distinction is totally subjective, isn't it? Like here is an attractive model from Holland, Marique Schimmel:

So is she a 9 or a 10? (Or an 8.8? haha)

I once went on a date with a lesbian Playboy centerfold (November 1992), who for some reason was into dating men. I didn't get very far.

Get over the need to quantify, rank or sort things that do not need precise rankings to satisfy your needs and wants.

I've dated a number of the successful model, beauty pageant winner, romantic lead actresses types. I live in NYC and a number of my close friends are in the modeling/entertainment industries (including one who has been with The Ford Modeling Agency since the 1950s) so my circle includes a large proportion of great looking gals simply because of propinquity.

10 and that whole scale thing is bullshat.

People fall into two groups

Unattractive to the beholder

and

Nobody really needs to be any prettier that this.

I am not talking about the difference between a 9 and a 10. i am talking about an objective form of beauty

Yes. Twice.

BIG mistake.
