The good thing about this is that I will never attract these guys.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tell me about your philtrum.

Wrong answer! You're a -10/10, now you will never know my girth

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fine, I know my own

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Party on, girth.

Oh no your lack of belief in my actractiveness to you has made me attracted to you.

What do you do?

  1. Roll a d20 this is a DnD scenario now.

  2. Ew, well I am not attracted to you, internet stranger.

  3. Wait, what if you were a woman? That would be less icky.

  4. Ugh comments like this prove humanity has gone backward.

I am bored all of these are acceptable answers...

This is satire, right?

right?

[–] Kolrami 57 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's not. That subreddit is garbage. The mods legit ban people if the user rates people higher than the mod wants.

You could present those guys with a supermodel or the fucking platonic ideal of a woman and they would go "that's 7.1 at most, stop overrating"

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You get these guys in a room with any objectively good-looking woman in real life, and they would freeze up.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

They don't freeze in fear. They freeze because they are analyzing that philtrum.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

they have a point

clearly cute nerdy girls with glasses or tomboys are superior smh 😤😤.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't care if it's knitting or being a tank mechanic, a girl nerding out over her interests is hella cute.

Or anyone else, for that matter.

[–] eodur 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100%, nerding is hot. That look of excitement and focus does a whole lot.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Right? A person telling you all about that thing they're passionate about is straight up beaming when they do it, I love it.

MFers out here rating women like they're dogs at fucking crufts

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn't she post the picture and asked people to rate her?

I agree that it's ridiculous and insane but if she asked for being superficially rated and she gets that.... You really can't blame the guys rating her.

Almost everyone is uglier than this girl anyway. If she is a 7, we are 3. :)

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago (1 children)

most posts on there are incels taking pics from girls social media and pretending to post as the girl

[–] VelvetGentleman 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This does not make it less moral, just more sad.

more like a bot posted that picture.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

why did you have to expose me to this nonsense

Actually she's quite a 8 or 9 rather for my score. You should checkout my ratemywomen page as well /s

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m tentatively giving her an 8 but I need to see the MRI and CT scan to be certain.

No way, please tell me that subreddit is satire 😱

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

nah unfortunately it's a safe space for incels

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that why the text they wrote was so disturbing to read? Have they lived in an echo chamber for so long that they think it’s okay to talk about a person like they’re a cadaver. F’ing creepy

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On one hand, rating peoples' appearance is the whole point of that subreddit, but on the other hand... My God, do these guys have a talent for making it disgustingly creepy.

I wouldn't even expect actual cosmetic surgeons to talk like that.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

They rate according to extremely rigid rules which, aside from being racist, are ridiculously unfair.

What do you have to look like to achieve more than a 7? A biblically accurate angel?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Totally would hit that.

[–] Viking_Hippie 13 points 1 year ago

Yes. Specifically this one

I know most Lemmy user's have a hate boner for Reddit for many other reasons than this, but IMO all of the /r/AmIUgly, /r/AmISexy, /r/rateme, and other rating subreddits are an absolute cancer on the site.

90% of posts are from new accounts with questionable verification methods, with the others being people trying to shill their OF profiles. I can accept that, but what really boils my piss is that almost all of the comments follow this pattern:

  • Slating anyone remotely attractive for being attention seeking, or posting incorrectly on a sub "intended for ugly people", all while that person only comments on the attractive people.
  • Obvious negging, as if giving some super attractive girl a 6/10 is going to make them jump into their DM's and ask "what can I do to be better for you sempai?"
  • The inevitable stalking of their account, attempt to give into their DM's, or reverse image search that ends up with a post on these subs gaining you 100 new IG followers and some thirsty cunts liking and commenting on your pics.
  • Toxic behaviour when someone tries to actually be nice, or to offer some friendly advice. If I had a penny for every time a woman commented on a post on those subs with some advice, only for some guy to shit on them and say "lol no they need to go to the gym"

Obviously, these subs are going to exist, but they just make me end up hating people, because it's always the same pattern.

I vaguely remember evidence posted to reddit that the whole r/truerateme sub was started by 4chan incels to try and lower women's self esteem. Part of the plan was to post photos pretending to be super conventionally attractive women and give them low ratings anyway. IDR how conclusive it was in terms of proof, but it seemed more likely than not to me at the time.

That sub also had a "guide" to their rating system posted. I looked at it once, and the absolute lowest ratings were like burn victims or women with noticeable physical disabilities (which is in itself not a cool sentiment), but they had "example photos" of conventionally attractive female celebrities rated at like a 3. Their whole criteria were either subjective or inscrutable above that: you could randomly shuffle most of the chart and it would make as much sense, even if you bought into their idiotic logic (which again, you should not).

Anyway, attraction is way more subjective than any of these shitstains would have you think and everyone can be someone else's favorite.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

this is actually insanity...

[–] captainlezbian 20 points 1 year ago

Idk she’d be prettier if she talked to a therapist about her insecurity in her appearance

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Dudes out here comparing phrenology notes like that shit still valid.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm giving her a 11 out of 10
