I think other women would put me at 5-7 max. I am definitely one of those women who is more attractive to men than other women.

I have terrible stretch marks and a wonky c-section scar so with no clothes on probably a 3.

So let's go with this rubric:

In shape? You start at 5.

Is hair styled and current (no mom cut and no gray)? +1
Do you attempt to wear clothes that fit and are reasonably current? +1
Do you wear some kind of makeup to accentuate better features? +0.5

So you're at an 7.5 if you're doing all of the above.

8-10 is reserved for genetic good looks.

No, this is too generous, especially if you have some obvious issues (like a massive nose).

If someone asks in the Beauty forum, “How attractive do you think men would rate you on a scale of 1-10?”, what do you think the answers are going to look like?

Well, first, who is going to be reading that forum every time they’re scrolling DCUM? Clearly those who value physical attractiveness very highly and are constantly looking for tips and ideas. If it’s something they value and put the effort into, then they probably *will* be 8-pluses.

And second, the woman who believes she’d be rated a 4 is going to be less likely to post this after seeing that everybody else is an 8 or 9. But by definition, not everyone can be an 8+ in attractiveness.

It’s the same thing with the Money forum and explains why you have to take all the responses here with a big grain of salt."

I wonder how much of this is modesty and not wanting to give a number too high. I did that actually, when I posted the first reply to try and get things going (it worked!). Come on ladies this is anonymous; what do you REALLY think you are? I actually think I'm a 9, lol. Hate to prove that money commenter right but...
