    When your S/O asks you to rate her on a number scale, DO NOT rate her as a 7.8. Even if she says "be honest".

    Wow...........you can't tell me you didn't see that coming a mile away when she asked. There is no right answer to that question.......I would likely change the subject immediately. ;)

    I once got chewed out for stating 9.5 put of 10.

    Really?

    A perfect 10 is almost impossible to find

    Me too...

    It was late and I was too tired to see the trap.

    And in an attempt to save face, I tried to explain my ranking system, which just made it worse.

    *sigh

    I'm learning this. Slowly but surely.

    I buy her a new car, a big, fancy ring, take her to out to nice restaurants weekly, got the photog for the wedding she wanting (even though he is absurdly expensive), and now I get grief because I rated her honestly, when she asked me to rate her honestly.

    I mean, 0.01% of women are perfect 10s. Then 0.1% of women are 9s. 1% of women are 8s. I ranked her in the top 2% of women in the world. Why am I having to apologize for this?

    The answer is 11.

    Despite what anyone will ever tell you.. the answer is 11.

    Don't try and dispute this.. 11.

    Repeat after me.. 11.

    11.

    Baby, you're an 11.

    Maybe she's more upset that you have a "ranking" system. Just give up when she's yelling about it and just keep repeating "I love you" like the dude on The League watching porn and riding the exercise bike.

    Beyond that, when you are in trouble, follow this advice.
    1. Don't write anything down.
    2. Don't take any pictures.
    3. Deny, deny, deny.

    The "wise" already know that answer.

    See duke's post.

    No girl on the planet is prettier or has a better anything when answering these types of questions

    That's absurd though.

    I know I'm not the best looking guy on the planet and I wouldn't expect her to think I'm a perfect 10.

    Why should I be held to the same standards?

    Many times you HAVE to be absurd when dealing with women, that's just how it is.

    She "knows" you don't think she is prettier than evey other girl on the planet, but she still has to hear it as if it is that way.

    Then you really don't understand the question...

    Just tell her she is the perfect woman for you. That's all she wants to hear. Anything with anumber attached will only, ONLY lead to trouble.

    The mistake you made when she asked you this question was opening your mouth !!!
    There is no right answer to that question in the mind of a woman...you should have just mumbled something incoherently and walked away hoping that she heard something she wanted to hear in your ramblings.
    Take this from a guy who has been married almost 32 years !!!!

    Ha, I know waaaay better than to ask that question...

    But really, she just wanted re-assurance that you think she's perfect to you. She wants to be perfect to you. She sure as hell didn't want to hear your rating system.
    Women (most of 'em) are insecure.
    And before you talk of how weird women are... remember.. Men make them that way. I mean women mutilate themselves with surgery, lasers and chemicals... cram themselves into horrendously uncomfortable clothes, nylons, bras and shoes. Coat themselves with tons of make up.... just in an attempt to look good to men. It's stupid.. but that's the way it is.
