Hot or Not???

There's this website called Hot or Not. I checked it out after reading an article in Psychology Today about how hot you think you are compared to how others percieve you. They said that you're probably hotter than you think and that this can be tested by posting a picture on this Hot or Not site.

I don't know if I have the guts to post a photo... I'd be tempted to post my best photo for a possible ego boost. This seems counterproductive to me because the point is to find out what people think of the real you. Truthfully, I'd be scared to post a photo of the real me though, because some people get really low ratings and I imagine they're just CRUSHED. I'm an optimist and I don't need that kick in the pants! I also thought about posting this butt ugly photo of myself as a joke, but that picture cannot ever get out. I don't want that thing circulating out there in cyberspace!!! It's some sweet blackmail material. Although I think Rose has a copy... RATS!!!

So anyways, on this site you rate people on their hotness factor. It's interesting to see what you think is hot and how others rated people. I get the feeling that 'hotness' has nothing to do with good looks, because some of the ratings really baffled me.

So I actually rated Guy#1 below an 8. I'm usually pretty nice about my ratings, because most people are hot to some extent, and I consider myself a 'potential-seer' (which you'd think is cool but definitely has it's own drawbacks when choosing men to date, but that's a topic for another blog). What shocked me was that others rated this guy a 4.5!!! 4.5? That's pretty miserable... Poor kid! That's especially shocking when you look at the freakshow Guy#2 below him and see that he got a fricken 3.7!!! Am I the only one that finds this strange? Hahaha. No comparison. Then look at the bizarre-lookin' dude #3... He got a 6.7!!! I'm missing the potential in that one. He doesn't even look NICE and friendly, let alone HOT. And what's he doing with his shirt off? I don't think that adds to his appeal! Err... maybe it did to someone?

In the end, I rated boy #4 as the hottest out of all the guys I saw on that site. Wow. He is a hottie. I think he got a 9.8. Yeah, no argument here.

You have to submit a real life photo of yourself. I gaurantee you wont get below an 8

I see you tried HOTorNOT. You might also want to try The Face Game. See www.thefacegame.com. It lets you compare photos instead of getting one absolute score...

I find it terribly odd that a woman of your age, 36, finds the "boy" in the crowd to be the hottest.

Hmmm, if you were a man they would have a name for you, now what would that be? Oh yes, I remember, pedophile.

Oh, you better go now, looks like the kids are getting out of school. Maybe you should go stalk a playground. Or do you just enjoy that past time during summer break.

Anonymous,

That was a pretty random (and nasty) comment. Do you actually know the definition of "pedophile"? I don't think finding that guy attractive has anything to do with age ... did you SEE the other pictures? I agree that, yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... but on the other hand there are times when beauty is in the eye of everyone! I don't think you can deny that #4 would be chosen, by the vast, vast majority of people, to be the most attractive. What's with the age hang-up?

Well, Mich, wouldn't you like to know who exactly thinks you are chasing down young boys?

Maybe, this is a friend pulling your leg...hmmm, but which friend could it be?

Didn't think I would get your other friends throwing stones at me, jeesh! Good to know you have a loyal following though.

Dare I give you hint or just make you guess? Ah, here's a hint, your friend Jensie writes: "...did you SEE the other pictures? I agree that, yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ..."

I do believe I dated the other candidates on the hot or not platform. I am a real fan of the "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" theory.

Does that help you Mich?

The clock has started, who am I?

(insert Jeopardy music here)

LISA!!!!!!

Why didn't you just put your name down you crazy lady!!! Oh man, I did not like being called a pedophile by a complete stranger, but if it's you calling me one then that's ok. Haha. I couldn't determine if you were joking or not from your comment... hmm, maybe you weren't joking???

C'mon, your boyfriends aren't THAT raunchy-looking!

Come on #2 looks a lot like Perry, but with hair and possibly owns an I.Q. (unlike Perry). Don't you think!

#1 isn't too bad, #3 scared me and honestly #4 looks a little too much like my step-son Kiel for me to comment.
