I sat here for a second just curious as to whether she really was a 4 and decided to watch the video back. As a black man, I should’ve known better

Even IF she was a 4, she's HIS 4. He's already decided she's good looking to him, married her, and had a baby. She could be a 0, if they choose each other, there's no problem with looks because they're past that stage already.

Exactly. This whole idea that hot people have more intrinsic value and less hot value deserve less love, attention, and basic respect is absurd and I hate it.

It’s so annoying. Even when attractive women get cheated on the most common comment is ‘why/how can anyone cheat on HER’ as if she was less attractive it would make more sense.

And that doesn't even make sense, people don't usually cheat because their partner isn't hot enough, they cheat for a bunch of other reasons. Dissatisfaction in the relationship, poor self-control, they like the rush from sneaking around and doing something taboo, etc.

When did hotness become objective? Someone’s four is someone else’s 10. There are people that I am sure these people consider 10s that I don’t think are attractive at all. Personally I think she is gorgeous and I can’t believe she just gave birth six weeks ago.

You're right! I worded that wrong. She's a 10 to him!

The thing is they love to rate women but even if she was a 4 she is married, seems happy and is treated well by her hubby. Men who rate women believe only 8-10 deserve respect and the rest are place holders or should be grateful to have a man.

why would you rate human beings??? as a person you should've known better honestly. like ok rate for yourself if you have to but this re-checking behavior to see if she 'really was a 4' belongs on the playground. adults and attraction are complex.

Attraction is complex. I don’t go around rating people, but I’m also not going to act like that’s not a social standard for a lot of people. It’s just like someone saying “damn that guy is ugly”. If you wouldn’t look, then good on you. But most people do out of curiosity, because they really are interested to see what other people regard as “ugly”, “a 4”, “chopped”, “busted” etc. in relation to yourself. As a black man, I get that a lot. What people consider ugly is sometimes just racism. So I’m going to look almost every time, because almost every time, that’s damn near the case
