Unfortunately from the moment we are born, we are brainwashed in to believing that physical beauty is most important. Most of the forward thinkers amongst us learn that the exact opposite is true. But your right, I hate to see how it effects young people growing up and can turn them into messed up adults because they feel inferior. Its a messed up society we all live in. :(

I’m not big on “rating” anything, let alone someone’s looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I find depressing that so many people actually want to be rated...

SW-User
@SW-User That too. So, if they receive an overall poor rating does that mean that devalue themselves?

SW-User
@SW-User exactly...
Salix75 · 46-50, F
yes. Contributes to the objectifying of people based on things most can't control (beyond make up and plastic surgery), and attractiveness is so subjective anyhow.

SW-User
@Salix75 That's how I view it too.

People's worth should not be held so cheaply.
And no intelligent person should covet such a rating.
But men are usually visual and women often believe that their looks determine their worth.

I take it as humourous. To each their taste and focus.

@Miram So funny in the way of being pathetic?

@SW-User
It's funny because of the irony.
Pathetic? No. They don't need my pity I am sure. Being condescending isn't exactly any different.
Shallow, and we all have our moments of that.

@Miram OK. I understand. Thanks.

I don't think it is sickening to "rate" people for attractiveness. Fact is, we do it, subconsciously, every moment of every day.
What is sickening, is that people take these subjective surveys of other's opinions and then apply it like some universal measurement of truth against their own self-esteem.
If I have a round face, and walk into a room full of people who really think thin faces are attractive...?
I'm automatically ugly, even if I have the most classically defined face of all history, because the BIAS in the room is against round faces to begin with.

@GwydionFrost So you are saying that the blame lies on those who buy into the "assessment" of others?
GwydionFrost · 56-60, M
@SW-User BINGO. Opinions are a dime a dozen, and just because it is expressed, doesn't make it the defacto default for reality...

Rating people for anything can be sickening

Depending on the context I find it either groteque or so lame and puerile it's humorous in a sad way.
CopperCicada · M
I feel the same way about the "erotica" here.

SW-User
@CopperCicada Does nothing for me at all.
CopperCicada · M
@SW-User i hear that. the "adult" and "nudity" warnings are generally yawn and laughter warnings...
bijouxbroussard · F
I definitely do. Sickening, shallow... childish. Usually sexist, too.

SW-User
@bijouxbroussard It really bothers me when pics are posted here for others to rate. It's like slabs of meat.
bijouxbroussard · F
@SW-User Absolutely. That’s an immediate mute for me.

@bijouxbroussard Likewise
