When I was younger I really didn't get societal norms super well, a girl asked me to rate her and I thought she was not ugly, not gorgeous, I gave her a 7 out of 10. She was offended lol. Didn't even realize she was flirting with me until years later lmao

    you call a girl a 10 if they ask. that's just how you play that situation there's no reason to think about it.

    im not sure how old u r but when u start talking to girls (or dudes? idk if this works gayly) let them fish for compliments. its not a bad thing to play the game they want to play sometimes.

    adults don't do anything specifically everyone is different and there's no reason to generalize some arbitrary normality that your parents taught you in a vacuum

    most sane people dont fish for compliments that blatantly sometimes you just gotta be nice. unless you disagree then you just sound boring to be around.

    You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

    In the future, when a girl asks you to rate her, the answer is always 10.

    Tell her she's a 9 and 1/2 but she'd be a 10 back at your place.

    No I just tell people I don't rate people that way. Because for one my attraction is not based on appearance mostly, and also no one is a 10 to me because no one is perfect, so they'll never be happy with the answer. So I outright refuse with that reasoning. Like I'm not gonna rate the girl over there that's clearly pretty who may be more physically attractive just so I can rate you lower physically despite caring for you more and finding you way more attractive overall.

    You sound like the dude in the image lol. I don't mean that in a bad way, just a funny observation. I get it too, because whenever my friends and I see a movie we have these sort of debates. I rate 1 to 5 and everyone else does 1 to 10. I say I can't do 1 to 10 because it is too granular and it's a subjective thing anyways. It's funny how something so simple as "rate X on a scale of whatever" can turn into such a massive dilemma.

    Can you not just double your rating to have the denominator match?

    Yeah of course, but I'd only be giving out 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Even apart from that they all use numbers different. I try to do it where 4 stars mean I really liked it an 5 stars means I LOVED it. But a lot of them refuse to give 10 because they don't want to say anything is "perfect." I have given a few 6 star rating just as a way to communicate it's one of my all time favorites (Spider verse 2019, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Puss & Boots the last wish are some examples) which is sort of similar to them giving a 10 but some of them seriously just never give 10s. I use 6 stars as more of a "5 star but let me clear, I think this shit is one of the best".

    Even to me who is saying "I give this 3 out of 5" it somehow feels extremely different than saying "I give this 6 out of 10" so I don't really like to do it. I view star ratings more as buckets to put movies in more than a rating. Like there are five buckets and I put which it goes in. Idk. It makes sense in my head.
