Not a 10

The Chaser podcast did an episode on the Nvidia drama and in it said that the CIA (?) had a talk they said to people that ran along the lines of 'You're not a 10, if she's a 10, then there's something up'.

I was reminded of a very rich celebrity that had braces on his teeth as an adult and was telling me, actually telling my husband as he never really spoke to me - I was just window dressing, how much young women really loved his braces. "Chicks really dig them". I was baffled that he genuinely believed this and didn't realise it was his money that they loved (and probably his 'social' standing....at least hoping to get their photo in society pages).  He was definitely punching above his weight in the looks department.

We all think we wouldn't be so dumb or so vain, but I guess over time, with so many sycophants around you, you start to believe their 'reflection' of you.

So I guess a good rule of thumb is "You're not a 10, so...."
