Yup. College girlfriend was a drop-dead gorgeous blond tennis player. Too short to be a model, but those legs looked perfect in a mini skirt.
Unfortunately, she was dumb as dirt. She was one of those girls who brought 20 teddy bears with her to college and watched soap operas all day.
It killed me to do it, but I actually broke up with her.
As an aside-- when I talk to old college buddies, they always ask about her and we still have a laugh about some of the things she said.
Personally, I won't go above a size 5. But if you like 'em large, that's your preference. Who am I to judge?

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.
You need a hug, bro?

And just so everyone is clear, the women that show up in a Google Image search when you type in the word "model" are the objective standard of beauty for all men in this world? That's your take?
Anyone who doesn't hold to that standard is a "chubby chaser" who doesn't see reality?

Congratulations! In less than 24 hours, the number of lies in this thread has exceeded the number told by Obama in the last 6 years! Well done.
No mellow seeds - she was a 10. The high school was the best high school academically in the state, meaning that it had an incredibly high socio-economc profile, with lots of well off sorority queen mothers who married frat guys who became executives. The competitiveness among females in the school was ridiculous - a girl made the cheerleading team based on looks - no easy feat - and this one was an incredibly good looking blonde. This was before late teen women got boob jobs, but they do now at this school - just the way it is. I remember a fellow high school competitor absolutely not believing she was my girlfriend (a successful Big 10 runner later on), and I said, look, go ask her. I was as disbelieving as he was, to tell the truth.
It was odd. I did not belong in the town. My mother was a single mother, unemployed, and we moved there to live in one of the few cheap houses in town because of my well off aunt and uncle. A smart move because I was able to pick up upper middle class habits, including study habits, and to succeed academically (as well as athletically - I went to school on athletic scholarship as a 4:08 high school miler) in a way I could never have imagined.
.
Cheers, and still in a sense disbelieving...I still have nothing but kind things to say about my high school girl friend...

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.

Bingo. Consider this: people act like they have to hold their noses to sleep with a 6, but that would be above average in looks. I don't care how high you claim your standards are, you're not going to have any shame about sleeping with a true 6. There's just too much grade inflation going on. An 8 is probably more like a 6, a so-called 6 a 3-4, and a 10 anywhere from 8 up.
The real scale is binary -- 1s and 0s. I've slept with one 0, but try to stick with 1s.
Then this juvenile site has the balls to publish a thread titled: "Why doesn't Jack Daniels post here anymore." Honest to f'n' Christ!

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.
Is there any topic on which you don't spout pure and unadulterated stupidity? Seriously, have you ever posted anything that wasn't stupid?

I almost gave up on letsrun. This thread started as a 2 and became a 10. Wineturtle is buddha.

Are you honestly trying to tell me that thin, nice breasts, long legs, good skin, symmetrical facial features, and clean straight teeth isn't considered more beautiful than a 300 pound trucker with 4 teeth, and lopsided breasts that hang down to her kneecaps?

That was an idiotic article. All women know what attracts men. 99.999% of women do just what the article advises them to do, especially as it relates to grooming themselves for a mate. Thus, the article provides little to no constructive insight.
The issue most feminists take with the beauty industry as a whole is that it plays on women's superficial insecurities. Women in general spend far too much time garnering male attention (as many have been trained to rely on others for their security- both emotional and financial).
I once conducted a business meeting with a smoking hot 10. When my business partner and I walked to the parking lot afterward we both admitted that we couldn't recall most of what she'd said. We'd been dazed for 40 minutes.
