Rate yourself out of 10!

On another thread, I've just referred to myself as a 6/10 (looks-wise). I have nice teeth and hair but am a little dumpy and pale. This rating is me with make-up on btw. On a troll-day, unwashed hair, no make-up, sloppy clothes, I am like 3/10. Not actively ugly but certainly not going to pull!

This is just for fun by the way, no need to rate yourself if you don't want to obvs!

Oh I reckon I'm a solid 9 actually! Size 16/18, overweight, bit of a double chin, wobbly bits, but you know what? I'm fucking fabulous!

And my DP says I'm gorgeous so he must be right! 😂

My heart beats.
My lungs breathe.
My kidneys and liver clean my blood.
My legs and arms get me where I want to go, both on dry land and in water.
I can see, touch, taste, hear and smell.
Bones, joints and skin all working well and comfortably.
Fanny hasn’t healed over or dropped off yet.
Brain controlling everything nicely.

All with minimal help. No machinery or serious medication.

So that’s a solid 10 😀

Just yes. I think we forgot how bloody incredible we are really.

Gosh sorry, fell asleep with my phone in my hand 😂

🤣🤣🤣 I was actually going to ask if that was what happened!! Or if your cat walked across your keyboard😃 So funny!

Are we counting film stars and models who've had loads of work done in comparison (with them at the 10 end of the scale)? Or just comparing ourselves to the woman in the street?

If it's the latter, I would rate myself a 6 (when I've made an effort) I've got all my own teeth, decent hair and skin but I sometimes scare myself if I put my reverse camera on by mistake.

How did PPs rate their personality? I can't decide what to go for. I am a kind, decent human being but am pretty boring, not particularly intelligent or cultured. Does that make me more of a 4?

SisterAgatha · 18/07/2022 07:59

@CradleWin My personality was marked down for irritability and annoying features. I would be a 10 if I could hold back being sarcastic and impatient.

I am really sweet, playful, thoughtful, funny and loyal just not when I’m in a grump - or when singing Toto’s Africa in a meeting tips the edge to inappropriate.

When I was younger I used to rate myself quite low. Looking back at old photos and remembering what was said to me, I was definitely an 8/9 Ive put on a bit of weight but when I look around I’d say for my age I’m 7/8. I don’t think DH appreciates how lucky he is!

CradleWin · 18/07/2022 08:10

Oh @SisterAgatha you've just reminded me I am terribly impatient too! I'll go for 5!

DangerouslyBored · 18/07/2022 08:10

I’m a 10 🤩

ClinkeyMonkey · 18/07/2022 08:15

I reckon in my 20's, 30's and even 40's, a 6 - maybe a 7 with some effort. Now, in my fifties, and only comparing myself to other people in their fifties, probably a 4. My sister is 3 years older than me and looks absolutely fantastic. But then she's a dinky little person - very petite - and I'm a bit of a cart horse🤣

Personality wise, probably a 2 or a 3. I'm very grumpy and introverted. I hate putting myself out. I do it, but complain a lot. I can't work as part of a team because I don't like other people's company and they make me nervous. Spontaneity quite literally makes me want to cry. I can also be quite lazy. Christ, think I might actually be a 1!

Handmaid2019 · 18/07/2022 22:01

@ClinkeyMonkey haha 😂😂😂

As far as rating myself - currently a fat, tired, sweaty, pregnant mess sooo a 6 😂

Your post made me laugh, so surely that could nudge you to a 2 😊

DasAlteLeid · 18/07/2022 23:36

I thought I was an 8 for my age, but I witnessed some incredibly cruel-angled candid shots of me this weekend and I’ve slumped right down to a 5 in my own estimation. I think my nose has grown over the years unfortunately, along with my wretched chunky arms and podgy tum 😒

My personality is pretty good though, I’m clever, funny and thoughtful, albeit a little hot tempered and impatient, and I reckon that drags me back up to a 7 on a good day ☺️

Blah blah ugly fucker good thoughts sunbeams Roald Dahl etc blah, before someone else jumps in with it. Tis bollocks anyway.

Fatballs · 19/07/2022 09:31

10 Not sure on what scale, though.

As long as it isn’t the Richter Scale, why worry?
