Speaking of labels...what's your number?

Now, as I'm not one interested in labeling people, (as I mentioned in my previous post), one thing that has always intrigued me is a person's "number."

You hear people say, "oh she's a seven!" or "Mmm he's a nine, yowza!" or even "ugh, he's like a four, yikes!"

I've always been interested in how this number has been calculated.

For some it's purely based on looks, and scores seem to fall on the extreme ends of the stick. At first glance I think people are either very attractive or not so much.

But if you factor in personality, character, quirkiness, unique qualities, sense of humor and even how long you've known them, scores will often fall more in the middle ground.

And lower scores can even jump a few points.

What I wonder is, how important is this score? This number?

Can a 4 be with a 9?

Would a 9 even give a 4 a second glance?

I also wonder how everyone rates themselves. Do we downplay our strengths and positive traits? Or do we inflate our number, hoping to increase our chances of landing a perfect 10? (By the way, I don't think perfect 10's exist.)

I've always wondered what my number would be....

....what's yours?
