Friend described me as an 8/10

[Larochkaaa]

Is that good?! I hate the objectifying rating thing but am feeling low about my appearance. Appreciate people probably add on a point or two to make their friend feel better too

I'd say that's very high... Even if they really think you are a 7.

4-6 would be average looking to me

It means you look better than 80% of the population, obviously it's good.

Why are you feeling low about your appearance?

Friend is infantile and shallow. HTH.

Did you ask them to rate you? Or did they offer this?

I wouldn't have gone along with this if you'd asked me. And I certainly wouldn't have offered up such an opinion.

How old are you both?

Obviously op you would know it is a, "good" rating. Is it kind of gloating. Oh look, I'm a 8 to 10 followed by faux innocence asking "Is that good?"

What would she class herself as?

It's 2 marks off the top score so you tell me
I agree it's gloating

Thr only way this would be bad is if you are worlds highest paid model and it's your agent explaining why the job went to someone else!

Well maybe she classes supermodels as a 10. Normal models as a 9 and you just under them.

Unless you’re a model what’s the issue?

Oh, I thought you were complaining you should have been higher.....I’d be happy with 8. I’d be happy with 6 to be honest.

How silly
I could say I’m 7/10 but stood next to my friend who was a very successful model I’d be more like a 3/10!!!

Did you ask her to rate your looks? In which case stop! That's such an awkward thing to ask a friend.
On the other hand if she offered the information without prompting..... I'd be downgrading the friendship somewhat.

Or am I just an old fart? Is rating somebody on their looks a "thing" now?

I'd rate myself a 7, as I'm above average( in my opinion) but I'm not gorgeous which would be an 8 and 9 in my opinion then a 10 would be wow your perfect in my eyes.

But ratings arnt facts they are just people's opinions

Oh sorry! No not gloating. She is practical and not offensive. I was upset about a relationship ending with someone who wasn’t very nice to me. She very briskly said you’re an 8 and he’s a 4, move on

Did she just mean looks? Or did she mean overall? Like personality, job prospects, etc.

I’m sure she meant it kindly.

I had a friend who said the opposite to me once when I was mooning over a guy who wasn’t interested. But she rated us in climbing difficulty terminology. Problem is she said that you’re a V Diff and he’s a Hard Severe. Translation was that he was out of my league! 😆😆

Oh ok I'll let her off then, this is just a way of saying "you were too good for him anyway" the numbers are largely irrelevant, don't get too hung up on them.

She thought you were too good for him but only able to say it now.

I've got a 'friend' who does this sort of thing. Rating each other's looks is neither a friendly nor a mature thing to do.

Hi Op Why do you care what your friend or Anybody else thinks of the way you look? You are good enough being unique, nobody is perfect looking, Our human quirks is what makes us different, interesting !

Hi Op oops typo mis print I ment to say improve your self esteem then you will not so much a jot what other people its far healthier better to do this, everybody has knock backs in life in some way ..

Your friend was trying to make you feel better. I wouldn't read anything else into it.

I agree friends often add on a couple of points but sometimes that's because they can see your worth as a whole, not just your appearance. And clearly she thinks he was punching above his weight with you either way.

Thank God half term’s nearly over

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
