Note: NO ONE can get mad at any comments made in this thread. It's about honesty so we can get all this "back and forth grudge match" out of systems and love each other again :blushing:

Seems everyone is all up in arms over this "tier" system, so how about we come right out and be truthful with each other.

I know that most of the women here HATE this system, but ladies it exists. Our SP men can't be the only men in the world to use the system. I know I've sat in bars before and rated people...

1) Gents...if you ran into any of us in a bar who would you approach just on looks? If you talk to us for 10 minutes, who would you turn away for personality?

2) Ladies, same question...

3) What # would you rate yourself?

I'll start. Based by looks alone, I'd approach Zach. He's my "type". Based on his responses and writing style on SP, I'd say no thanks. Sorry dude, no offense. You may be totally awesome in person!

I'd rate myself a solid 7 most days, 8 when I get all dolled up. I don't wear make-up daily, my hair isn't always perfect, but I take pride in my wardrobe and never leave the house in "house clothes". I eat right, workout, and am at my optimal weight. BTW my bf thinks the tier system is asinine, but when asked he said I'm a 12.

You guys might not agree with this. And I'm ok with it, because at the end of the day I love me and my life.

    Nice try but I don't think anyone is going to touch this topic with a 10 foot pole.

    Have to agree, we've had some *kitten* storms in here before, but this one would be epic!

    Fine...thanks for playing.

    I tried. Honesty I guess isn't the best policy on the interwebs...

    Yeah at another time this might have worked but at the current vibe it just won't. I know what you were getting at and it was all with a good heart but the wind is blowing hard right now and this would turn into a tornado.

    OK, I'll play.

    Honestly, I don't think I would approach any Single Peeps ladies in the bar. I went out on a date last night and had a great time. At the bar there were about 15 girls I would have loved to get to know as well. All were around a 7 or 8.

    If I had to, I'd approach La Amazona. I think if we got talking to each other, we'd get along. However, I do think we'd be entirely too different for each other.

    I would give her a 5.5/6, which is above average. After a good conversation, she'd be a solid 6.

    You can't realistically assign yourself a number as you might be a little biased. Most women I've met have given me a 7. Which I agree with.

    Honestly, I don't even care. I may not agree with this incredible focus on tiers, but whatever "number" someone wants to assign me doesn't phase me. I think of myself a certain way and if a man approaches me and the feeling is mutual then let's take it from there. If the guy is not interested but I am then he can be an adult about it and tell me he's not interested though the whole being an adult about it is a whole other issue.

    I will play! I think this thread can be fun, everyone just needs to try and be thick skinned about it.

    My own rating: 6-7 realistically. Maybe a 7 on a good day. Feel free to disagree and say why, I am a big boy.

    Singles Peeps based on looks alone: RunInTheMud or Sam, they are both cuties.

    Singles Peeps Personalities I like (female): Honestly, probably Kit. She won't admit it but I think we see eye to eye on alot of things. I like Run's style of thinking on many things so her as well. Sorry to say I can't really assess Sam's personality. Jenbit seems like she would be fun to hang around with. Danielle seems to be very bubbly, I can be a sucker for that sometimes.

    Feel free to flame/insult me if you wish.

    Also to the OP: Can you elaborate why you dislike my "personality/writing" style in detail? I am simply curious, not mad at all.
    To further clarify some examples:

    - I am too straightforward
    - i babble about stupid crap

    Just out of curiosity.

    ^^ Also to note, no way on La_Amazona, sorry she seems way too ditsy for me. (Not saying she is, she may be very intelligent, that is simply the impression I get thus far)

    I really can't pin point it, but I kinda put you, DM and Mike in the same basket. You aren't as opinionated as them, but sometimes you have a 'tude. Which usually I like but I think it conflicts with my 'tude. But you are totally hot, I'd love to hang on to those arms while you do shoulder presses! :blushing:

    I will admit I was surprised by this.

    I do know there's a lot we have in common ever since we came out as gun-loving libertarians, haha! I didn't think you were interested in me (friendly type) seeing as I've a loudmouth b*tch hahaha!

    Thanks to everyone who played the game. I realize a lot people want no part of this and will probably think I'm horrible for even starting it, but I kinda want to know what people think. We are all about generalizations around here, I was looking for some solid details!

    Give it some time. People are scared and rightly so. They do not want to be demonized.

    ^^ Thing is Kit, you have an opinion that generally has logic (most of the time) behind it. Your opinion does not sway with the crowd (from what I can tell). I like that alot.

    Also to note: I think you and I come from two different directions but we both reach for the same goal. (example: I believe we both think gender roles are silly, however you tend to sympathize with the female mindset where I tend to sympathize with the male mindset.)

    Things like that.

    Again, there is a big difference (at least to me?) between saying you are not attracted to someone, and saying that someone is in a lower tier. Just because I don't want to date someone doesn't mean I think they are below me. I just find that attitude incredibly shallow.

    If you want to start a thread on who you would like to date, or who you find attractive, great. What does this have to do with tiers?

    Unlike Mike, there isn't any man on SP that I wouldn't approach in a bar. However, I'd approach for good conversation... not necessarily a hook-up.

    I don't find any man in this group too beneath me to be my friend. But then again, I'm in a special tier -- the 40-year-old-divorced-single-mom-tier.

    So, Mike... really? No one? Is that completely honest?

    You are correct, she probably could have chosen a better title.

    However she was simply reacting to the "****storm" thread recently. Hence why she titled it "Tier System".

    I think Mike answered the question as it pertained. This topic isn't about who you would be friends with but who you think would be a good match based on looks and then why or why not you think it would work.

    I realize that... .and based on conversations I've had with Mike... I think there ARE women here he'd approach and be interested in. Although these are past conversations and perhaps things have changed.

    That's really funny because I usually come across as the opposite (male sympathizer instead of woman sympathizer). I think this group has made me seem like a man hater because the people I battle against the most are males making, what I perceive as, awful statements repeatedly. I usually don't have to say the same thing over and over again to other posters, even though I believe I am an equal opportunity reprimander, haha!

    It's cool, we can get a couple beers and talk about how sexy Gary Johnson's politics are (I am just now appreciating how well his last name fits into my statement, hahahahaaa)

    Thanks, MM, that is exactly the point of the thread.

    P, sorry, I mis-labelled the title. Zach was right, I was just posting in regard to the crap storm we've been having today.

    Though I detest the title...

    I can't see myself being attracted to or attracting any man in SP. There is a wit/humour and just instant connection factor that I need and that can be hard to discover online. Looks are not actually that important to me.

    As for approaching any of the SP guys in a bar or meeting for dinner- sure, I love meeting new people and making friends. I certainly wouldn't be intimidated or looking for anything other than some flirtation or platonic friendship. I would love to see how different some people are in real life!

    Now.. would I get approached by anyone in SP at a bar? Meh.. I doubt it. I am overweight still..and some men are okay with that, and others aren't. It would be interesting to see though. I've lured in my fair share with a look..confidence.. a naughty smile and an open personality.

    I wouldn't say things have changed. There might been people in the past I would have been interested in. But the more and more I get to know them and their personality, I'm EXTREMELY turned off.

    So I stand by my first post.

    Edit: I'd meet cinsuccess if she was at a bar. She's pretty sweet and looks great in a dress!

    Well I don't really know peeps here very well so I can't answer the first, but for the second I give myself an 8/10 and generally seek around that.

    I"m a 10 and then some and if I don't really believe that you bet your *kitten* when I go prowling I strive to project it.

    As for men, they aren't lucky enough to get a number rating from me. It's more of an on/off switch. Either I'm turned on by a man or I'm turned off. And even being drunk as a skunk isn't likely to make me change my mind.

    Oh, sorry, I didn't follow the rules, did I? Based on looks, there are no active posters in this forum that I would approach as far as I know. I admit I haven't gone creeping profile pics, though. I might have overlooked someone.
  • TheKitsune6
    TheKitsune6 Posts: 5,798 Member
    There are definitely a few guys in this group that I would approach, but I don't really want to say who because apparently I'm having a bout of "shy". Or something. I dunno.

    I would say that based on my appearance alone I am average. 5/10. Once I'm finished losing weight I think that'll bump me up but I'm not sure to where. When I wear make up and do my hair I get even more comments so... eh.

    I've said several times that my appearance isn't my strong suit anyway. As far as what matters? Personality I'm a 9/10. The missing point is because I lack a 'people pleaser' vibe so the few people that don't appreciate me are stuck being displeased. *bats eyelashes*
