Rude or not!

Post Reply New Topic

I once posted a picture of myself slightly drunk in a nightclub in 2011 to yahoo answers USA. I basically asked them to rate my appearance out of 10.

I did get a mean comment from a women saying.

"You really are not my cup of tea I prefer tall men with darker hair and medium skin. Also I don't like long hair on guys. I'd give you a 1 out of 10"

Do you think that was quite a harsh and rude comment or not? Since 2011 I have slimmed down and my hair is not long anymore.

She's rude and has nothing better to do than criticize other people in order to make herself feel good. Odds are she's not a very happy person. Rude? Yes, she is rude. Should you worry about it? No, just move on and don't let it get to you.

I would say it's a tad insensitive to give you a 1/10, BUT you did ask others to rate you yourself. So she's giving you an honest answer with a very clear description of her PERSONAL preferences. I've seen way ruder responses so I do think you should learn to take a punch.

If her opinion was unsolicited it might be taken as rude.
But you voluntarily asked people on the internet to rate your appearance and she simply stated that you were not her type, didn't say you were ugly or anything. Beauty is subjective so I'd say for this instance she was not particularly rude.

Saying you're a 1 out of 10 means you're the ugliest type of man she could imagine. This is clearly hyperbole and not a thought out, rational assessment like you were looking for. Fact is, some people do not know how to properly rate anything and just use 10 for something they like and 1 for something they don't and never use 2-9. Don't take seriously the opinions of irrational people.

Not really. Everyone has their own preferences what they want in someone. It's all about sexual attraction. You asked for an opinion and she gave it than lie and it's a lot easier for people to be honest online.

Ever been hurt by an answer you asked for only to hear "well, you asked."

I agree with the people that say you're going to have to roll with the punches on this one

Too many online commenters seem to believe that it is open season when someone asks a plain question. They fail to understand that explaining why they opted out (by saying you didn't even show up on her radar "because...") isn't a proper answer. In this case, I believe that you were seeking comments ("constructive criticism") from those who considered you attractive and appealing for the most part, except ... whatever reason. Fair enough. But, a long answer to explain a complete bail out of the question appears to me to be someones attempt to get their name on the Intertubes one mmore time.

Yes, I recognize that this message might fall into the category, too. Hehe.

My friend said Americans are notorious for being very rude on sites in yahoo and in real life.

What number would she have to have rated you for you to consider it not rude?

The only thing that really bothered me was that she gave you a 1/10, seemingly because you weren't her type.

So funny how all the female posters in this thread are sticking up for that girl on yahoo answers.

"Girls stick together"

I think her response was rude, but you did ask, so you should not expect only positive responses. My mom used to always say "don't ask a question unless you're sure you want to hear the answer."

People tend to be rude online, no matter what nationality.

I thought the "1 out of 10" was so ridiculous, that I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. What were your OTHER responses?
