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

[Thesheerrelief]

Thought this was a (not very) stealth boast at first but it seems like your friend is telling you that you can do better than your ex. Take it as reassurance and a compliment

[TwoLeftSocksWithHoles]

You could win a round of a pub quiz with that score.

[Hayeahnobut]

Carrie, is that you?

[DryRoastPeanut]

Post a photo op, and let us be the judge.

[Happymum12345]

I can’t believe a friend would actually give numbers to rate you. Much better to say you’re too good for him & leave it at that.

[Hesfamousforit]

Get a life comes to mind...

[anniemouse]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[SandMason]

Thank God half term’s nearly over

[Bunnymumy]

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.

[Windmillwhirl]

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

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 ..

[thosetalesofunexpected]

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 !
interestin subjective like admiring Art at Art gallery.mprove your self cofindence such as looking after yourself properly such as pampering yourself like having a spa session at home if you can not do this at a proper health spa place,
Find out about holistic therapies such as hot stone massage therapy and other types of therapies
Do something you enjoy that relaxes you makes you feel happier about yourself such as doing favourite pastimes whatever that maybe, be a bit adventures explore try new activities out you have never done you never know you might you enjoy them, and even be quite good at it, the saying springs to mind nothing ventured nothing gained it does not matter if you are not brilliant at these activities just have a go discover your inner child it is fun thing to do
Check out Facebook and the internet such as YouTube to learn new things and even explore find out about courses or workshops online or elsewhere.

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.

[DrDavidBanner]

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

[ChristmasinJune]

@Larochkaaa

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

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.

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! 😆😆

[Wyntersdiary]

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

[ChristmasinJune]

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?

[Otterhound]

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!!!

[JacobReesMogadishu]

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.

[JacobReesMogadishu]

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?

[burnoutbabe]

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!

[purpleme12]

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

[HollowTalk]

What would she class herself as?
