Man, ever since you posted that damn link to www.amihotornot.com... life has steadily began to change here in Okinawa.
First it was just me. I'd get bored... PROBLEM SOLVED!... I'll just go to amihotornot.com. This went on for about a week. I'd just end up there.... like some twisted episode of the twilight zone.
Then I told a couple of my buddies about it. And yes... they became addicted as well. As a matter of fact, I stopped in one of their rooms tonight and they were on it.
I told a few of the guys out at work. boom. next thing you know, everytime I go by their desks, they have it minimized on the screen.

The pyschological aspect of the site is insane when I really think about it.
When people rate... what do they say/ask themselves to deduct their system of rating.... do they have a system at all?
People's moods affect votes.
Did this person show a lot of skin?
You view someone you rate a 1... and then someone who would normally be a 5 comes up. Due to relativity... you vote higher.
Your votes depend on how long you've been on for that "session". You may become more picky towards the end.
Do you find it interesting that most votes are (on average) about 1.5 to 2.0 higher than what you rate?
Personal prefrence is obviously involoved.
Do you give "extra credit" for interesting angled pictures?
Glamour shot....... +1 or -1 ?

Anyway... you see what I'm getting at.

Damn taxon, I apologize. he he

It is addicting. That is so true about the ratings. They are always 1 - 2 points higher than my opinion. Especially if its a woman and she shows the tiniest bit of skin. Look out ratings!

The thing I hate is when it is obviously a model picture and people still rank it high. I just give it a 1 if I have any doubt.

Sometimes when I get really bored of trying to rate them I just put the cursor at like 5 o6 and click as soon as the pic comes up. With DSL I go through tons of pics.

Ever right click on the pic and go to properties? You can see the url of the pic and find out if the person has a homepage. Thats a little added extra sometimes if you get tired of the same old same old.

(Man, now I feel like I spend too much time there.)

yeah, i kicked that habit before it got too bad... i think a slow connection helped there....
and i found myself getting very extremist, i woudl give every person a 2,3 8 or 9.
screw all the numbers in between, and no ego needs to find out that they got a 1 or 10.

Studying: code word for drinking until you projectile vomit your stomach lining over the hot babe you've been annoying all night.

Ahh......college....party 'till 5am, study 'till the first class, go back to the dorm room, sleep until the next class, go back to dorm room, last class, eat day old pizza, drink warm Mountain Dew (only because the 'fridge is full of beer), call all the boys, go get shit faced, and repeat. I was an art major, fine art history (12-14 century) I had to do something to relieve the bordem.

There used to be a listing in order of rating for amihotornot. I think it was log.waxi.org or something similar. That site sure is addicting.

Ach, I liked the game, and thought it was cool, and then tried to save my high score, creating a profile. NO variation of my name was acceptable, seemed like anything with the word "Ozone" in it was disallowed, I ended up with something stupid like "FragileSatsuma", so, I shall never return. Microsoft sucks, so does MSN. Too bad, the game was OK.

It's probably tjhe fact that bejewled is in the Zone (the probably are trying to avoid people with Zonesucks) and whatnot.

I found that link on fark and been playing it for weeks.

BTW anyone see what you get when you put :

In google? (this is not supposed to last past the next indexing)

Yeah, these things are way addictive. The satifaction in passing almost-instant judgement on someone is amazing Course, once you've broken the addiction to amihotornot you can always check out amihot.com...
