Well there is just so much image of perfection everywhere when it comes to women. Society sends us the subliminal message that looks are everything and men seek perfection in women, even when at the same time, they say that it's personality that matters. We're getting mixed messages. Women in ads, TV, social media, etc, are presented as perfect, flawless ideals. Men see this and that's what they expect. And then there's the 1-10 attractiveness rating scale where the highest-rated women are always flawless -- no blemishes, no scars, perfect. Even if she does participate in fun things, and picks up a few scars, the more attractive you are, the more forgiving guys will be. I've been told that I would only be at most a 4 or a 5 on this scale (maybe even lower). This is all based on what I've been able to gather from threads on various dating forums across the internet.
