WOULD/WOULDN'T

yeah thats a better rework of my post

you uh prefer them unconscious? xp

dang, I didn't really think that one through :-/

maybe you could break the options down further w/r/t "I play this game in the privacy of my headspace" vs "I play this game all the time with my buddies at the gym".

mentally sizing up people's attractiveness is harmless enough as long as it doesn't prompt toxic behavior toward people who meet/fail to meet your standards — though I suspect that the more you dwell on the (un)attractiveness of every casual acquaintance and the more invested you are in mentally rating every woman you meet on a 1-10 scale, the more likely you are to behave like a sexist POS in your day-to-day interactions

on the other hand, communal "I'd hit that" locker room talk is almost always creepy and toxic and I should hope that most people here are above that sort of thing

sometimes i have a hard time distinguishing whether my initial attraction is sexual or aesthetic, i.e. "i want to have sex with this person" vs "i really love how this person presents themselves and i want to be around them"

I find the 1-10 scale more degrading than would/wouldn't, it sounds like you're judging a prize animal at a state fair. Or maybe it's just more fussy, idk, but I don't really find the distinctions between a "7" and a "9" meaningful -- at most there are 3-4 categories -- "would under no circumstances" "would under desperate/drunk circumstances" "would generally." Going beyond that just sounds like being some kind of connoisseur in a way that strikes me as detached from sex.

Most days I don't consciously play "would/wouldn't," but on certain horny days I do. I probably always do it a little bit, unconsciously.

i can't even get my head around the prospect of using a numeric scale it seems so absurd not to mention dehumanizing

also tricky yknow

yeah i'm much more partial to a five-star system myself

generally it is unconscious/subconscious but there are occasions when i keep a conversation going for long enough and we seem to get on well enough, and my unconscious/subconscious mind hasn't told me wld/wldnt i consciously think wld/wldnt then i start balancing out all the good and bad in her

it all happens fairly fast

not a 1-10 scale exactly, but a quick imaginary pros/cons list

i'm only into women tho (none of the other trans/lgbtqiapk/etc. stuff)

"Yes, it's fun and what's the harm?" would be most accurate, but it's more like, "at some point I have weighed the pros and cons of having sex with any and everyone", and usually only once. This line of thought rarely, but sometimes, produces a "yes, sex with that person would be a good idea" result

that's a good addendum flan

I've certainly done the related offshoot "Imagine what it would be like to have sex with literally any woman I know/meet regardless of attractiveness" but that was more of an adolescent thing.

Shame on anyone who posts on this board and doesn't use the proper Pitchfork decimal point scale for sizing up all things in life.

I work at a bank

O rly? I bet your constantly sizing up those old men on the currency, which is a 1, which is a 5, a 10, a 20???

for me it's "No, doesn't occur to me to do so/don't see what the appeal is." but with maybe a little of all the other options sprinkled in

Occasionally when I'm feeling crappy i'll walk down some random street and look at each person i pass (regardless of gender, age, etc.) and decide, being my most brutally honest, whether that person is less or more attractive than me and keep a mental tally. I'm always surprised to find the former group is usually much larger than the latter. Anyone else do this?

submit to the Reproducibility Project imo

I remember some thread almost 10 years or so ago where I mentioned that I did this and got a negative reaction. Can't find the thread though.

controversy was that you did it aloud iirc

i don't do this. looking at the mind from the sort of david hume lense i would say that the attractiveness of a person is something i perceive as an impression, but i don't really make an idea out of that impression unless there's some reason to - i.e. person being a viable possible sexual/romantic partner
