It's a universal truth that relationships can be tricky and complicated. Because relationships are essentially what makes the world run around, it's no surprise that this topic comes up quite often on Reddit's infamous "Am I The A**hole?" thread. This week, we got quite the dilemma for ya. The original poster overheard her boyfriend talking with his friend on the phone and rating her an 8, which she got super angry about. I personally see myself as an 11, so I would also be super pissed if I overheard anyone telling me otherwise. It's pretty clear to me who the a**hole is, but what do you guys think? There usually is a clear consensus over who is in the wrong in these types of threads, but who knows? Perhaps this is one of the first times the readers have split down the middle. Scroll down to read about all the juicy details.

    Font - r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/pinkselena 2 hours ago AITA for being angry at my boyfriend after he told his friend I'm an 8? I recently bought my bf some new clothes and lots of people have been complimenting him on his new look. He used to dress like a bum but now looks presentable. A few days ago he was gaming while I was in the shower. He was talking to a friend and when I came out I overheard their conversation (it was on loudspeaker which he does occasionally). My bf was telling his

    Font - BaconEggAndCheeseSPK · 2h · edited 2h Pooperintendant [56]] What part of saying that you were an 8/9 indicated that he wasn't fully attracted to you? Do you think that people are only attracted to 10s? Do you honestly think that everyone thinks their partner is perfect? You basically called him a bum, and he's not allowed to call you a 9 when you're not mad at him? Id much prefer my partner call me a 9 over him calling me a bum. YTA. Get over yourself.

    I get this Redditor's point, but it's still rude AF. Why are we still rating people, especially our significant others? Can't say I agree with this shallow attitude.

    Font - Kay_Elle · 2h Certified Proctologist [21] This..I wouldn't say my boyfriend is a "10". I love him, I'm attracted to him, but like, he's just objectively not "supermodel" material - which is where I'd put that scale - while a one would be someone who looks like his face hit a meat grinder. I mean, you can argue the "scale" system is bad. But I'd argue an 8 is GOOD.

    Hair - Taleya · 14m Honestly if someone told me my husband 'had to be a 10 for me to put up with him' I'd probably invite them to go fornicate themselves with an iron stick. Relationships don't work that way, and it's an extremely nasty thing to say.

    Font - lellyla · 47m - edited 36m I'm not sure he rated her appearance, he says "9 when she is not mad". I think he is rating her as a girlfriend. I think that he (and his friend) need to use that (disgusting) macho style in order to be able to discuss personal issues. They seem to have been discussing the shopping before the rating happened.

    Human body - drewmana · 1h Asshole Aficionado [17] I was once referred to as a "middling 7/10" and it's genuinely one of the best compliments i've ever gotten. OP needs to get over it, the concept of 10/10 is a person who is physically flawless.

    Font - DaisyInc · 2h Colo-rectal Surgeon [36] YTA. I'm reading between the lines here. • You re-styled your bf in clothes you picked out for him and describe him as looking like a bum before, when he was dressed the way he liked. • You claim (and take credit for) him getting compliments on his looks from "lots of people" now, yet his friend was talking as if the shopping to re-style him was a negative. • Your bf must have shared something he didn't enjoy about shopping with you for his friend to

    Smile - - WinstonChurchillin · 1h The rather gaping difference is OP didn't say it to him, his friends, or her friends, presumably because she cares about his feelings. Her BF talked about her "rating" aloud, "joking" with a mate when she was right there, showing little to no regard for her feelings.

    Font - WinstonChurchillin · 2h · edited 2h The numerical rating of someone's looks is gross and is a sign of shitty character when using it seriously, as he was. Your BF is the asshole and you're NTA for being justifiably angry. Edit: Even if she's angry at the wrong thing, he's still the hairy asshole for this degrading bro-talk that would inherently make many feel insecure and temporarily buy into the nonsense "rating" they get in the heat of the moment.

    Human body - Numerous-Rice-661 · 2h You called him a BUM. You didn't like how he looked so he sure wasn't a 10 to you. And I am sure you are not a 10. 10 is a fantasy. Even super models are not 10s. YTA. Sorry you are only near perfect to him.

    Human body - Kyliems1010· 54m NTA. Jesus Christ, it's 2021, rating women by numbers is misogynist and gross, I can't believe people are calling you an asshole.

    Font - veggiesausagefromtjs · 1h NTA where did all these misogynistic commenters come from? You're all assuming that he communicated that he didn't want to shop and that she bought him new clothes out of bad motives, but as far as we know this is the first indication we're getting that he maybe didn't like the shopping trips. Saying someone must be really hot to put up with how annoying they are is insulting, so the fact that he responded with "Well she's annoying and she could be hotter too" sh

    Font - Careless_Mango · 2h · edited 2h Thing is you are not a 10. A super model for example is a 10 and she would be a fantasy woman built up in his head and not a real woman with a personality and feelings. I would understand if you were mad at being rated at all because talk like that is sexist and demeaning and how dare they. But you do want a rating. You want to be a 10. So in this instance YTA because you are ok with eating system but are unrealistic and he rating you pretty damn high. I wo

    Human body - Ok-Communication-816 · 16m NTA. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don't think your BF was being malicious but that's why we don't rank each other's significant others!!! We all have value!!
