It bugs me that he does this, but I don't want to make a big fuss.
  • You lost me at "5"

    I get what Cary's trying to suggest, and it's not the worst idea in the world. But I find the whole "1 to 10" thing just icky, and the idea of a woman participating in that kind of thing ("you're right -- she has a fat butt") makes me recoil. I'm thinking it would be more consistent with both sisterhood and girlfriendhood to try and find pleasing attributes in the women the boyfriend is ogling, and to point them out instead of being so critical. And it has the added benefit of making the LW seem self-confident and magnanimous.
