He said "Boys rate women 1 to 10; men rate them 1 to 3; #1 is "I'd do her", #2 is "I wouldn't do her", and #3 is "I did her". He said almost all women are rated #1, but sadly sometimes a #2 rating slips to a #3." It's a sexist joke, but also a joke on male ego, which I think makes it officially non-offensive. Sometimes on TV or in work, people will tell just the punchline of a joke, so they can't be accused of actually saying anything. Like the script will say "Now it's your turn in the barrel", counting on most people to have heard that joke. I swear I heard Sam Malone on Cheers say "I rate women on a scale of 1 to 3". |

I don't think it's a sexist joke; it's an observation of the differences between us and our motives, highly cynical. Coyote-ugly and all that. Offensive, yes, I suppose so, but that's the point of the joke and the source of the humor. I confess; I don't know the "turn in the barrel" joke as a joke. I've heard it often and even said it from time to time, when referring to a common duty or job people share and none want to do. I'll google it and save you the trouble. :) Oh, and the lady with the arms. I don't find it attractive on her, or on me. When I was competing multi-sports, I looked a lot like that, but not quite so obviously ripped. My nickname w/ the basketball team in college was "The Fullback" when the freshman girl book came out and we were all getting scoped; I had my hair cut short for competitive swimming, and was often mistaken from the back as a man unless I was in a skirt. Not from the front, though :) Just being almost 6 ft tall 40 years ago was unusual for a girl, and very slim through the hips and legs, with swimmer shoulders, I looked like one of the East German Olympians of the '70s. (Most of you are old enough to remember those ladies, I think.) Yeah, it was hurtful, but so many people have something they're vulnerable about. What are you supposed to do about genetics? It made me a champion, so there's that. And this lady seems proud of her bodybuilding physique. I bet she gets all she wants; I didn't have a lot of trouble finding men at her age, but yeah, there were plenty who got turned off by it, too. Edit re: barrel joke. You're right, Paco, that's a very funny joke! Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I have often heard older men use that line in a business meeting. I wonder how many women would get the joke. |

Valeria Valeryevna Lukyanova is a Moldovan-born Ukrainian model and entertainer, Born: August 23, 1985 (age 30). She is sort of sexy, but in a way that makes you feel bad about yourself. |

The human Barbie? Now that's frightening. 0/10. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

At first I thought that was a RealDoll. Would. And I rank her higher than the woman from the OP. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

Warning: crass language ahead. In college we would joke about the binary scale (0 or 1, would or wouldn't). Then one guy came up with the ternary scale. 0/1/2. 0 is wouldn't, 2 is would. 1 is you would let her give you a bo jay. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

I agree, I think she looks like a RealDoll from the waist up. I think her legs are pretty, though. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
