@BeExcellent thinks she is an 8.
I think this raises the question "Is it possible for a 47 year old woman to be an 8?". Once you get into that, it opens a whole can of worms. I took her statement to mean "I'm an 8,
for a 47 year old", although I could be mistaken. I kind of think that when you get into different age groups, you have to kind of grade on a curve.
For instance, I've always considered myself a 7. I still maintain that self image, although I'm 56 now, should I really consider myself still a 7? If you go by what Mystery said, that women peak at 18-24, should I judge myself by how an 18 year old sees me? Men age better than women, but I am getting up there. I had a friend who was 52 who was regularly banging 18 year olds. I think there's a difference in banging a girl and keeping her around long term though. Every bit of pickup material I've ever read about old men banging younger girls has always said keep it light, and don't expect anything serious.
Just for inner game purposes, should an older woman start thinking "Hey, I'm a 3 now"? How would that be good for a person's self esteem? I'm
all about being realistic though. Should I start thinking of myself as a lower number just because I'm older? Or should I "grade on a curve" and consider myself a 7 for a 56 year old. Heck, for a 56 year old I may even be an 8 now, lol.
Bear in mind, I rate fairly strictly. I don't believe in 10s (which means I reject the ridiculous notion that we should all consider ourselves 10s). I could count on one hand the number of women I've known that I would rate as 9 or above. In my view, 8s are damn rare also. To me, the vast, vast majority of "hot" women are 7s. 6s are cute or doable. 5s I might think about, but ultimately I'm not going to do it.
