What's the Difference Between Me and You?

My girlfriend always asks me, "Do you think she's hot?" Why do girls always ask their boyfriend that? I know it's a test and I should give you the answer, "She's pretty, but not as pretty as you are." But you know deep down inside he's really not thinking that.

The truth is that, for guys, there are levels of hotness. We can't just tell you if she's hot or not (see area code rating system in "Kudos" blog).

The way we say how "hot a girl is, is imperative in deciphering our code. Different words mean different things. The following levels of hotness are broken down accordingly:

1) "She's Skanky hot"
Confusing as this seems, it means that she is slutty good looking. She's no Audrey Hepburn but we would tap that in a heartbeat. We call them skanky hot because we would sleep with them but never bring them home to mom and dad....ever. Famous people in this category are; Megan Fox, Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan

2) "She's good looking"
This could mean 2 things:

A) We don't want to come out and say she's good looking because we've been taught not to say someone is good looking. By saying she is good looking we are inferring that she is hotter than you and we would much rather be with her. This isn't necessarily true. It's not that we don't think you're hot. We're dating you, aren't we? Cut us some slack. You're the one who asked us if she looks good. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to!
B) The less likely of the two is that the only reason why she is good looking is because she is famous. If she wasn't famous, she probably wouldn't be as good looking. Leading ladies in this category are; Natalie Portman, Hayden Panettiere, Hillary Swank, Racheal McAdams, and Rachel Bilson.

3) "She's Sporty Hot"

These athletes are fit, sweaty, and we eat it up! They could be kicking a guy’s ass on the big screen or doing things generally only reserved for guys. Ladies in this category are; Angelina Jolie, The chick from Lost (Kate), and Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck).

4) "She's Hot"
This means she is definitely hot. She's so good looking that we will say it to your face! We don't care about the repercussions, even if it means sleeping on the couch or going to bed unsatisfied. Ladies in this category are; Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel.

You have to remember that we are dating you. We chose you! We'll to tell you the truth, if we had a choice we would choose them but then realize that it was a mistake and want you back.

Either way it's never going to happen. Take it from a Lending Hands perspective; don't get so hung up on whether we think this movie star is hot or if that singer is skanky hot. Because when it comes down to it, we don't have much of a chance with them. What do I have to offer to Kate Beckinsale? I'm just a 9 to 5er.
