Here’s a hard question for most people to answer honestly: based on looks alone, where would you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10? In my opinion, there’s only two types of answers: the overly modest or the overly kind. For example; a hot girl will make sad eyes while confessing she’s a five, and the goofy-looking dude doesn’t bat an eye about giving himself a nine. Here’s a video sent to me via Twitter on the topic:
Even if you don’t watch the whole thing, at least think about some of the numbers you heard and from which people. Honestly, society doesn’t allow for the average citizen to really come anywhere near to being a nine. Certainly not when you’re holding these average Joe’s to celebrity standards. For example I think most men would rate Megan Fox a nine, if not an easy ten on the attractiveness scale. (Again, this is based only on looks. Because really, nobody could even know anything about your personality based on sight alone.)
The photos on the left are of Megan Fox around 2004, roughly an epic 8. Plastic surgery she has had includes: two nose jobs, lips, Botox on her forehead and around the mouth, and breast implants from an ‘A’ to a large ‘B’. If you want to look at her physical appearance changes that didn’t require surgery she’s also let her eyebrows grow in, got a tan, found a fabulous make up artist (no more freckles!), a new hairstylist and wardrobe team. Don’t get me wrong, bitch is smoking hot–when she’s not talking.
What I’m getting at here is where does that leave the rest of us? How does the average male on the street hold up to the Justin Timberlakes, Brad Pitts and George Clooneys? When that’s what a woman thinks she deserves–another topic for another time, I assure you–how is she possibly going to handle realizing that her high standards will never be met? And guys I’m sorry but odds are you will never fuck a Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, or Megan Fox… so why does that seem to be what guys expect?
I can’t even tell you how many people I know that ruin a good thing in the pursuit of someone just like who they already have… except better. Instead of telling you all the painfully obvious reasons why that is foolish (because it won’t change anything) I think a change is in order. People are going to need to start taking the George Carlin approach.
“I have never fucked a 10. Never fucked a 10! But one night, I fucked five 2′s!”
And really, is that so bad?
