unsullied's blog post - One to Ten

So a colleague at work the other day decided to ask me and this other dude how we "rated" ourselves on the hotness scale, from one to ten...which was kind of a weird topic of conversation. Anyways, she rated herself a 5, and when the two of us wouldn't cooperate she decided to make up ratings for us too. I guessed an 8 - I'm no totally bombshell, since I've got a nose that's a bit small for my face, among other complaints, but I'm not that bad, I don't think. But she basically laughed in my face and was like "you go girl, have confidence! I think you're a 7, but I guess your beauty comes from the inside. Always good to aim high!"

Am I wrong in thinking that's a really overly honest and mean thing to say? I don't really need someone to tell me I'm not all that good-looking >_> She rated the other guy a 6!! Sometimes there are ways to be too honest.

Anyways, has anyone ever asked you this, or doled out a number for you whether you asked or not? I gotta say it was a blow to my pride, since while I'm not a perfect 10 I'd say I'm not bad, and I love being an A student, so not being an "A" in looks would rankle me Maybe I'm looking for an ego stroke posting this on here, but ugh, it got me pretty down. I'm supposed to be in my prime! Back to the gym for me!!!
