UPDATE! Thank you all for your recommendations. So heres what I did. Determined to prove myself, I came in to work tonight and set a problem that is above my skill level, but has the technique that I have. A brief description...a quick traverse on a bunch of small crimps and tiny lips, with one foot for the traverse, the rest are hand foot matches, mostly heel hooks. Then, with balance, more hand foot matches to stand up and top out. I was super happy, especially to see my guy friends who are climbing V7's were struggling. I am happy with it and it will be my project and I hope others. We have yet to rate it, but we are thinking maybe a V5. So thanks again for all the support. And I hope that this shuts some people up.

P.S. In our gym, we don't name the boulder problems. We simply just put a piece of tape by the start with the grade and the initials of the person who set the problem. My initials are G.I.R.L.

Like I said, sandbag that V5 to a V3 and next time the best looking (hardest climbing) guy gives you shit, ask him out for some beers.
