I'd give her ONE!!
Me - 'Oooh, u see that?'
U - 'Uh huh, thats real nice!'
Me - 'Rating?'
U - ' Out of 10? ... I'd give her ONE!!'
I am wondering why does "I'd give her ONE!" have to involve sex? What if i say "I'd give her ten!" in this situation?

I think you have the concept a little confused. When rating something, it doesn't have to involve the sex or gender of a person. You can rate other things as well. Moreover, when rating something, we usually do it on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the highest (good). and 1 being the lowest (bad). Here is an example:
Me: I just saw the new Star Trek movie last week.
You: Was it any good?
Me: Yeah, I liked it.
You: What would you rate it?
Me: About an 8.
So, in your example above, if you LIKE the way the other person looks, you'd give them a ten. Here is another example:
Me: The new guy in accounting is very cute!
Her: Really?
Me: Yep. He's easily a 9, maybe even a 10

You are correct to emphasize the word "one" in this sentence, just notice that the correct form is with the indefinite article: "I'd giver her a one." (meaning "a score / rating of one out of ten.)
On the other hand, without the indefinite article, and pronouncing "one" without emphasis... yeah, it sounds like he's going to give her... something... unspecified.
