		<description>Yo Barry,

Thanks for stopping by and digging on this thread.

What I said to the friend after that?  I never answered her questions directly, because I really didn&#039;t have to.  We still correspond.  If you feel like a &quot;10&quot; it doesnt matter if someone thinks your fat or &quot;uppity.&quot;  By whose standards is anyone fat?  We&#039;re more than able to determine what improvements we need to make in life.  And feeling great about yourself isn&#039;t &quot;creepy.&quot;

Also, complimenting people out of the blue is only weird and creepy if you stand there and wait for  acknowledgement or follow them around giving them compliments.  The bottom line is that you don&#039;t care if you ever see them again. Hell you probably won&#039;t.  The beauty of it is that you are adding value to a person&#039;s life.  How does that feel?  

Just like Spidey&#039;s uncle rapped, &quot;With great power comes great repsonsibility.&quot;  Is a 10 to be admired for what they look like or for the type of person they really are?  And if you are a 10, not because you were born with great genes, but because you just realize you&#039;re special, you can help others realize they are a 10 too.

Maybe we can re-define what a 10 really is.</description>

		<description>Wow, interesting.  I got sent here from Logtar&#039;s recommendation, and I&#039;m not sure I can any of the three, for a variety of reasons.

1) I don&#039;t think it&#039;s possible to view myself as a &quot;10&quot;.  Especially being a guy.  It just isn&#039;t possible even to pretend that way.  How is a guy supposed to do it if you aren&#039;t close to a 10, and actually not come off looking kind of pathetic?   For women it&#039;s easy - eye contact with the guys, smile at them, be confident... With men if you try to do that and you&#039;re not actually a 10 or close to it, you&#039;re branded &quot;that creepy guy over there...&quot;

2) I would love to compliment people, and do when I can (take generous time to thank them for things they do for me) but again, to compliment someone out of the blue would brand me as some kind of weird creep trying to hit on someone.

3) I don&#039;t really have any relatives I&#039;m close to that I don&#039;t see regularly anyway....

I&#039;m curious what your answers were to your friend&#039;s questions, now that she followed your instructions...</description>

		<description>1. I&#039;m only a 10 when I have a GREAT CLIPS cut or is from SCOTT&#039;S Barbershop....so.....

2. Does commenting on someone&#039;s elite Boots and Helm count?

3. I talk to my dad every other day, he&#039;s usually depressed but I think my calling helps.....</description>

		<description>Hiya Banky, great to meet you the other night (if rather briefly).  This is a great exercise!  I dunno if I am ready for it, but would you mind if I link to this?  I&#039;ll give you credit and post to this page rather than copy and paste.

Thanks,

		<description>HMMMMM

I think I do that every day.  I am so lucky to be here, to have good genes, a wonderful family.

I genuinely love all people and compliment people habitually to spread good cheer.  It is so nice to live in my hood and be able to give to those so less fortunate who everyone ignores.

As for family-I talk to them daily!

Thanks-GREAT ADVICE Banky.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a great little mind-experiment you&#039;ve got going.  In honor of Spinal Tap, I&#039;m going to walk down like I&#039;m an 11.</description>
