how hot do you think you are?

[Claire73]

I think I'm physically as well as mentally...HOT!

Today, it's suppose to be in the mid 80s and very humid. So, I guess today, I'm hot. And later this summer, when it gets up into the upper 90s and maybe even low hundreds, I'll be SIZZLING!

Eh, I think I'm average-ish so I chose "7." Although, I may be more appealing to men who like redheads. I'm not really concerned about how hot I am (and not sure if trendy clothing contributes to hotness, if so drop my score a bit. I'm a jeans and t-shirt gal). I'm comfortable and happy.

See, that's strange to me. How's a seven near average? It seems like a five would be average since it's the mean, but then that would mean that there's an equal distribution from absolute ugg to perfect beauty, which there's not. Beauty is rarer than ugly, the average joe/jane would be below a five.

Robin from CNN is the hottest female on the planet in the last few months according to my criteria.

It looks like her feet are exceptionally big?!

I see it more as a bell curve. Really freakish ugly is just as rare as really beautiful. We're not talking random fat guy ugly here, we're talking Jocelyn Wildenstein way-out there UGLY as being the obverse of, say, Tom Cruise with his utterly dead perfect symmetrical face.

I actually read an article a while back about the "perfect" face. Some mathematician created the perfect face based on measurements, symmetries, etc. The interesting part was that it was equally apt on both men and women, and could be scaled to either. Tom Cruise, for example, fit the measurement points exactly, as did many of the other classically pretty types of both sexes.

there are some wierd face thingys - not masks, but these things with metal rods to measure your facial structure - that are used to see how close people fit that mathemtical ideal. I read about them somewhere.

They kind loook like freaky bondage masks to me, but I may see that stuff wherever I look...for obvious reaosns

By the way, this thread proves conclusively that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

None of those puffed up hairdos get me all worked up. As a matter of personal preference, I'd say that Raquel Welch looks infinitely better in this shot:

Ditch the high maintenance hair, take a chisel to all that makeup, and you've got a lovely female right there.

Big hair (c 1985) and shoulder pads are almost an insta-no for me.

Unless you are Grace Jones or something, the 80's are stylistic sex points against you in my head.

I think this has to do with "what was my mother wearing/sister wearing/ ewww" for a lot of people.

See, I find Jocelyn Wildenstein to be gorgeous.

i always thought this lady was pretty hot, not just for her physical beauty but because of the sadness and vulnerability that always bubbled just beneath the surface:

Dorothy Dandridge

She's among those icons of gorgeous, Audrey, Ingrid - that have that so-beautiful-it-leaves-the-ground quality. I always thought.

 

[FloggingMolly]

well, didnt this thread become in depth and interesting whilst I wasn't looking!

To me, the hot rating isn't a marked of conceitedness. I find girls who look similar to me (hair, eyes, rack, shape) attractive, thats what I went by. I like to feel I am passably pretty, average is fine

I think it is possible to be content and 'ugly'. If you don't think your hot, but hold no bad feelings about it, no self-disgust, and are just happy being you, then thats great. Self-worth is not always looks based.

 

[Netzach]

I don't know if I'm 8 in my mind and 6 in reality, or vice versa or what, but I don't think I could have pulled off the stuff I do if I were a delusional 2.

I just can't stop looking. That's absolutely more interesting to me than this scale business.

Lady Gaga - ok, love her or hate her, she's a rather plain looking girl who has been transformed by a transformation machine on the order of Leigh Bowery or Andy Warhol. Totally gripping.

Tom Cruise had a crooked mouth for a while, had to wear braces. I think in the last ten years. So for his most memorable roles he had that crooked mouth. It kinda distracted me, but now he's perfect. My favorite beauty is Alicia Keys.

I think she was a fairly attractive girl before she was transformed into a pop star. She had some serious ethnic, sometimes British looking sex appeal. But I've never really heard a guy say, "Wow, lady gaga is hot!" anyway.

It's the "transforming" thing that I perv on.

I'd love to transform someone into a human doll, like Amanda LePore.

OK, I just scientifically measured how hot I am.

98.2 F / 36.8C


Hm. Looks like I'm average after all. Fuck that.


I'm so hot people don't handle me with kid gloves, they handle me with oven gloves.

I'm so hot habanero peppers tremble at the sight of me.

 

[sb2009]

this reminded me of one of this long discussion my husband and I had about the hotness scale :lol

He, like some people here, rates a 5 as your typical pretty woman. I rate 5 as a person who plain, but not obvious malformations (extra nose, etc)

Somehow he said what my rating was (he had a death wish? ) and it was far below what I felt HE SHOULD HAVE RATED ME.

It was like slo-motion-movies-stuff. The look in his eyes when he saw the look in MY eyes at the number I was assigned. The panic in his face. The blood draining from his extremeties in preparation for flight or fight.

When he regained powers of speech he explained his rating scale and I was much happier LOL

He's not generally the kind of guy who worries about my hurting my feelings (read: blunt) but he knew he had stepped in something that day.
