How Would You Rate Yourself In The Following Categories?
Athleticism:
...yeah, um, I should really improve on this area.
I really need to get out more.
Rating: 2 / 10
Creativity: Very creative. I am good at thinking on my feet and coming up with solutions. Poetry, storytelling and drawing (both traditional and digital) are hobbies of mine.
Rating: 10 / 10
Social and Emotional Intelligence: The type of person who somehow misses sarcasm for two hours yet understands how to comfort others and maintain friendships.
Rating: ? /10 YMMV
Easy Going: A tendency towards overthinking and neuroticism, but when I'm in my element I am calm and relaxed. I have been told that I have a calming presence.
Rating: ? / 10
Face: This freaking baby face! Argh! Some people find it cute and / or attractive but I do wish I didn't look so young. I think the fringe has helped me look a little older, I also tend to look better in hats.
Rating: 6 / 10
Ambition: To a fault. I have a tendency to underestimate how much work a task involves. A lot of my ambition is fuelled by curiosity. E.g. 'Wouldn't it be cool if I could do this? I wonder how that would progress'
Rating: 8 / 10 ?
Body: Too lanky but I find it difficult to keep weight on. I could do with some more exercise and to gain some weight. 4 / 10
Sense of Humour: I enjoy deadpan humour and making puns. Wordplay is my favourite type of comedy. I used to perform improv, sometimes I miss being able to perform. My jokes don't always land, but I'd like to think I'm fairly funny.
Rating: 7.5 / 10
Hairstyle: Not the neatest but I get quite a few compliments. Often about the softness.
Rating: 6 / 10
Self-Confidence: My self-confidence has a tendency to yo-yo. Frankly my get up and go tends to get up and leave when it comes to flirting with women. I can be quite shy and self-conscious around new people, but once you get to know me I can be fairly confident. Also, I have tendency to question "Am I good enough for this person?" when I like someone. Even though I know better.
Rating: 5 / 10
Fashion Style: Could do with some fine-tuning, but it's getting there.
Rating: 8 / 10
Intelligence: If you were to map out my strong and weak points, you'd have a rather spiky graph. Frankly I'm a moron in some areas but talented in others. I do not excel in traditional academia.
Rating: ? / 10
Depression: Also tends to yo-yo. I haven't felt depressed for a while, but when it hits - it hits.
Rating: ? / 10
Personality: Uh...room for improvement?
Rating: ? / 10
Empathy: 9 / 10 unless I'm in a cranky mood.
Hard Working: HIGHLY depends on what it is - if it's an interest then absolutely. However, when I leave work for the day, I have also mentally logged out until the next day. I like to have a work - life balance.
Rating: ? / 10
Narcissism: I have intrusive thoughts about becoming a narcissist, I hope I'm not narcissistic.
Rating: 2 / 10 ?
How have these ratings affected your dating experience?
A: I think my main issue is living in the absolute middle of nowhere and not getting out enough.

Near the spectrum but not on it.
I wanted to do this in 2 columns. How I feel about myself and how I interpret others as seeing me
Face: was 6 now 5 / probably 7... I got fairly lucky despite shyness, gappy teeth and ears that stuck out
Looked younger than my age
Body: was 6 now 4 / was 7 now 7 ... I was a beanpole, but had great muscle tone. Now it's much more average but look more athletic than I'm capable of being post surgeries. I look like the sequel to a slasher movie
Hairstyle: 1 / 2... I haven't had a haircut since the 80s. I still have full coverage of long hair but my follicle density has dropped. It also seems even finer after it turned transparent.
Fashion Style: was 8 now 0 / 1... Isn't fashion supposed to be dynamic? I haven't changed style since I was 17. I sure don't fit the originals post quitting nicotine, but my wardrobe has merely expanded, not changed.
Athleticism: was 8 now 2 / 7... I was too uncoordinated for most sports but some I excelled at. Climbing, spelunking. I was on the national archery team for several years
Personality: 10 / 0... I think I sparkle, but there must be something off-putting here. Nobody sticks around more than a few years.
Intelligence: was 8 now 6 / 8... I used to feel pretty sharp but now I feel like Algernon. Assessment tells me I'm still ahead of the curve, but hey...the curve includes MAGA.
Sense of Humor: 10 / 4... What can I say? I crack myself up, but my timing and intrusiveness suck and I am apparently a trifle esoteric
Social Intelligence: 2 / 2... *Internally enumerates the horde team Halo. 'nuff said.
Emotional Intelligence: 3 / 5.... Good masking
Empathy: 10 / 3. Moreso with animals than humans. I think that's got something to do with how loud everyone's eyes are.
Ambition: was 6 now 0 / 0... I had plans as a teen. I managed to avoid the exploitation that would have been required for any kind of success whatsoever. The strange part is, I achieved most of my teenage goals anyway.(Except being a complete slut.)
Hard Working: was 5 now 1 / 7..... Used to mask
Easy Going: was 10 now 3 / was 10 now 5... I was once described as "the most laid back person I know". I was fairly unflappable only by hiding how often I froze. With cognitive decline I'm no longer as good at concealment.
Creativity: was 8 now 2 / 8... I used to have so many projects running concurrently. Now I get confused cooking dinner.
I still have plenty of great ideas, just zero motivation. I really need a muse (with benefits ideally
)
Self-Confidence: was 3, now 5 / 7... Important to mask this for Romance
Narcissism: 2 / 1... I took the narcissistic personality inventory and was on the bottom of every criteria except vanity. (Yes I look in the mirror before I go out...I want to get laid. Yes I think I'm special...I sure as hell ain't normal!). My biggest manipulation is to try to get people to love me.
Depression: 3 / ? This is one of the most compulsively masked states as I've burned through 3 peer groups by showing it.
It is also highly variable and event modulated. As a steady state I am more likely a 5 right now, but will ramp with pressure and drop to zero when smiled at by a female of even vaguely around appropriate age.
Face: 6, I'm not conventionally hot but I'm aging well and I like my jawline
Body: 7.5, lean physique but my boobs sag a bit because they shrank when my body composition got more muscly
Hairstyle: 9, natural colour and very long, you can't go wrong with au naturale
Fashion Style: 5, I enjoy dressing up but loud and colourful/hippyish might be an acquired taste, I get compared to an art teacher or children's entertainer a lot lol
Athleticism: 7.5, I'm strong and fit but I'm a crap runner and clumsy as hell, you won't catch me playing ball sports or doing a complex dance routine
Personality: that's not up to me. I can't rate it because I'm so used to it. People generally like me I think?
Intelligence: 7, smart but not a genius
Sense of Humor: 8, I can make people laugh
Social Intelligence: 4-5, could be better but I'm competent enough
Emotional Intelligence: 4-5, cry a lot
Empathy: 7, about normal
Ambition: 3, I like a quiet life
Hard Working: 3
Easy Going: 6, I'm easy until I'm not then it's a 2 lmao
Creativity: 8, based on what other people have said
Self-Confidence: 5
Narcissism: 5, no more or less than the general population
Depression: 6

Sorry, I didn't use numbers to rate, as I find it hard to decide answers with numbers.
