Life What's the lowest attractiveness rating that would NOT be an insult to you?

**Rain Man** · 11-19-2012, 02:35 PM

Using the standard Bo Derek scale of 1 to 10, what's the lowest rating you could get that would not hurt your feelings or be insulting?

I'm asking because there are some ratings going on in the "Would You" thread of a certain attractive young woman. The ratings range between 7.8 and 10, and I was wondering how she would react if she saw the thread. Those ratings would certainly confirm to her that she's well above average, but she probably knows that. So would a 7.8 make her run to her bedroom in tears, curling up in the corner and sobbing with her finely sculpted abs heaving with each breath? Or would she be like, "Wow, the lowest score I got was 7.8? That's still very good."

So for you personally, consider this scenario:

You're alone for the evening, and you go out to a restaurant. As you're dining on your fish and chips and side salad, you suddenly discover that the combination of pomegranate dressing and malt vinegar has given you the hearing ability of a Great Snowy Owl.

Back in the corner, there's a bachelorette party going on (or a bachelor party, depending on your preferences), and the women (or men) are excitedly whispering their Derek ratings for everyone in the restaurant, you included. When they whisper their scores, what's the lowest score that would leave you saying, "Eh, I'm better looking than that, but I guess it's not unfair."

And while we're here, I'll ask you as well the lowest score you could get that would make you smile.

Poll coming soon, you ugly children of wildebeests.
