How Low On the Bo Derek Scale Would You Go?
 

If you're not familiar with the Bo Derek scale, 10 is considered very, very attractive and 1 is considered very, very unattractive. Conventional wisdom places a woman of average attractiveness at a 5.

Assume that you're unattached, and that you're on a business trip. You stop at a local diner for a bite to eat, and are surprised when the waitress brings you over a free root beer. "This is compliments of that woman over there." (If you're inexplicably attracted to men, you may substitute 'man' for 'woman'.)

The root beer buyer then comes over to your table, sits down, and begins chatting with you. You may assume that her personality roughly coincides with her Derek rating (i.e., 10 has a great personality, 1 is uncouth, 5 is your typical female personality).

After 10 minutes of chatting, the root beer buyer confesses an instant attraction to you and would like you to visit her hotel room next door for some no-strings-attached mattress whitewater rafting. The person appears to be clean and disease-free.

Is there a level of attractiveness below which you would not venture, and would instead say 'thanks, but there's a really important episode of Sportscenter that I have to see'?

Gender-segmented poll to follow.

had a few 5s usually while under the influance

Everyone has ventured under 5 before, they call that a slumpbuster.

I had a 6.5 and 5.5... but they were both at the same time... so that is 12.

Nope.

I never ****ed a 10...but I ****ed 5 2's.

While I'm waiting for you to finish your post let me elaborate. It is very, very rare that I find a woman so unattractive that I would refuse to have sex with her for that reason alone. Barely ever happens. Hypothetically speaking of course.

I draw the line at non-mammals.

Well, unless we're talking about alien women.

Interesting take on it.

I have a different view. For me, the thrill of the event isn't just the below-the-waist physical part, but there's also a key visual and psychological aspect. If I didn't get all three, I would politely decline, I think.

Maybe I could compromise pretty heavily on the pyschological part, I guess. If it was a total bimbo who offered the first two rewards, no problem.

I've only once ventured below a 5 and once below an 8. Of course my ex-wife is now about a -14 on any scale but she had a very short prime in her early-mid-20's.

Ranks 1-2 on originality scale.

It's not really a linear scale that I employ, but for the sake of the poll I voted six. But, I have different tastes when compared to everyone else so it's kind of pointless to compare. It's all a case by case basis, in addition to non-physical attractive markers like whorishness/bitchiness.
