I dont know how the heck some of you guys are giving yourselves such high numbers ( i wont call you out, but you know who you are!)

But hey if your confident in your looks more power to you. If your saying your a 7/8 may as well delude yourselves further and say your a perfect 10.

It's really sad that you are taking things here. This stuff is supposed to be for fun and I personally feel ratings are dumb. But I think it's people like you that make most of everyone who answers this question go "gee, I guess I'm a 5, I'm not that great" or stay in the 7/8 safe zone, because they know if they raise themselves too high there's going to be a couple people ing or something childish.

If Angelina/Jennifer Lopez/Halle Berry are in the 9/10 range. Beyonce, Cameron Diaz/Rihanna are abouts 8/7.

In your opinion. The fact is, every single one of us "rating" ourselves (and sometimes feeling the need to call each other's ratings wrong for whatever self absorbed reason) have different opinions of what we feel is beautiful. None of us will ever fully agree on who we find 10s and who we find 5s. We're different, therefore our attractions are different. How you rate those people isn't how I'd rate those people.

There's nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself and no one should have to compare themselves to models or the often-called-most-beautiful-woman-ever-Halle-Berry in ratings, ever. Those people are not like us, they live differently than we do, they have more options and more help. Comparing how you feel about yourself to models isn't the best way of going about your self confidence anyway because they're not what real life is and some of those women aren't even great looking, honestly. You shouldn't compare yourself to women you find attractive walking down the street, really. In my opinion, you shouldn't ever compare, you should only focus on you and how you feel. The question was, how do you rate yourself. How do you think you look. There's nothing wrong with people thinking they look better than lukewarm or some safe number. It's okay to like yourself and feel you look better than average. If other people want to scoff or snicker, hey, have fun with it. Like yourselves more and you wouldn't feel the need.
