Actually, the 8/10 was about physical appearance, he confirmed in a post further down: forums.catholic-questions.org/showpost.php?p=10387486&postcount=11
This thread has become a humorous representation of what is wrong with the forum.
:nope:
How awesome for you both!!! Now listen carefully ā never, ever, ever tell her that you went on a public forum and rated her 8 out of 10. You got that? Think of it as a temporary lapse. Tell her sheās a 12 out of 10.Had our date today. We both had a total blast. Ate at an American foods restaurant, before watching a movie together and dropping her off. Iām looking forward to the next one.
I was saying that while he did mention her physical beauty (and why shouldnāt he?) he also made joyful mention of her personality.Actually, the 8/10 was about physical appearance, he confirmed in a post further down: forums.catholic-questions.org/showpost.php?p=10387486&postcount=11
Unless I misunderstand you.
Ah, my mistake.
Today the girl of my dreams agreed to go out with me. I canāt believe it - I am the luckiest guy in the world. An 8/10, a dreamerās personality and the loveliest eyes. Praise the Lord! I donāt know how to thank You enough.
Why does the rating even matter? Should not every girl you date (and even more so when you eventually marry) be a 10 to you regardless of how society would objectively rate her?
Would you have been more satisfied if he said 2/10? Are you disappointed that he finds attractiveness important?I was kind of happy for you until I read the rating you felt the need to include.
The reason the rating he gave is a problem, is because when you are attracted to a person, you should just be interested in who they are and how much you care for them, NOT rating their quality.
I agree with you on everything but one thing: A lover will notice physical imperfections in their spouse. But it wonāt matter to them. Thatās the key difference.
Of course. By ānoticeā I didnāt mean that they would not literally look at the imperfection and notice them, but rather would take no account of the imperfection, forget about it easily, and make no mention of it. āTake no noticeā is an idiom which basically means that.
It was my first thought too.
I agree with this, but it doesnāt contradict the rating. He sees that sheās an 8, and is happy.Of course. By ānoticeā I didnāt mean that they would not literally look at the imperfection and notice them, but rather would take no account of the imperfection, forget about it easily, and make no mention of it. āTake no noticeā is an idiom which basically means that.
Sorry, I speak in a rather old fashion sometimes and it confuses people.
You kindāve missed the point.
The encouraging thing to me is that you post it here not on facebook or twitterToday the girl of my dreams agreed to go out with me. I canāt believe it - I am the luckiest guy in the world. An 8/10, a dreamerās personality and the loveliest eyes. Praise the Lord! I donāt know how to thank You enough.
And well done for your reactions to all those other scrutinizing replies. Being able to thank for criticism in a humble way is very rare these days.Donāt worry, I do the same thing at times. Iām also prone to using constructions like āsheās notā instead of āshe hasnātāOf course.

Your right, he should have been more romantic. Like Shakespeare who said, āIn faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, for they in thee a thousand error see, but tis my heart which loves what they despise and indespite of view is pleased to dote.ā
I think Shakespeare rated his lady somewhere around a 2.
