Do you have a rating system for judging attractiveness?

donfers

The commonest one and one that my friends have and continue to use is the simple out of 10 system. This can apply to anyone, actress on tv, random woman walking down the street, lady you pulled in the nightclub the previous night (before the fun police get on my case, I am speaking as a straight man, feel free to tell me about your system if you have one).

So, for example, a comment might be "Awwww man, I can't believe you went away with a 5/10 bird last night". Now this may seem sexist or objectifying or whatever but the fact is this is how private familiar groups talk to each other (I'm sure women/gay men do similar).

It's very rara, in my experience that the magical 10/10 rating has been awarded....usually 8's or 9's are as high as it gets in Ireland but a few foreign women have reached the magical 10 score, I guess because their type of beauty is so exotic here (so I assume some of us would get higher scores if abroad).

A lot of lads I know have ratio ranges aswell, they'll say they'll always stick between the 6-10 bracket and never go lower, but alcohol can play a part in this. Nevertheless it's remarkable how much of a consensus there is amongst lads in my experience in terms of rating, usually if one guy thinks a girl is say a 9, then the group will agree, and the greatest disparity will be maybe one point up or down. It's by far the thing that my mates have least disagreements on - the relative attractiveness of women. What they notice also is the birds of a feather syndrome where girls will usually hang out with girls within one point of their attractiveness level, eights will hang around with other eights (or sevens and nines) and fours will hang out with fours (or fives and threes) - amongst males this phenomenon is nowhere near as prevalent.

Anyway do you use some kind of rating system to judge attractiveness? Maybe something more original than a simple out of 10 score.



Do you think having a rating system is wrong?

If so, then how do you judge initial physical attractiveness or compare one with another then?

Yes.

If she is not as ugly as the mother-in-law, she is good looking.

I completely agree with this system, and could not agree more that they stick together.

I use the 'Where to do it' rating:
-Bush
-Car or
-Bed

The Steak rating system-

Well Done-
Medium to Well Done-
Medium-
Medium to Rare-
Rare-

with Well done being the roughest of 'em.


It's handy as you can say it right in front of them and they'd never know

Well, there's the paper-bag scale:
0: hottie.
1: good bod, bag over her head required
2: bag over my head required as well as hers.

Really though, at this point my (attached) mates and I are more interested in perceived dirtiness. The highest rating on this scale is "dirtier than a dog's arse".

I use my eyes and my ears. Usually works.

But no, I would never rate women with friends and then pass scorecards around like some episode of Strictly Come Dancing....getting my mates to call for their favourite and vote who I should bring on a second date. Hey, I might even wear a condom this time, who knows?:mad:

I always date someone who isn't as attractive as me!

I would never date anyone more attractive than me.....then again I am extremely good lucking so where blokes are concerned my standards are high!

They can't believe their luck and bend over backwards to make sure I am happy!

Reverse psychology..............you should try it! :rolleyes:

My rating system is "Not my type," "Strangely attractive," "You'll do" and the ever-popular "Let's steal car and make fvck, yes?"

Second page and no one has said "Out of 10, I'd give her one... Waaaahey!"

A chatup line a friend of mine used on Halloween was "do you fancy being a dirty whore for halloween".

Hasmunch

A friend of mine used to use a pints handicap system when judging the attractivness of girls.
eg 0pints, 1pint, 2 pints, etc up to 10pints.

The hotter a girl was the lower her pints rating was.
The uglier a girl was the higher her rating was.

Therefore depending on how hot or not so hot a girl was, the corresponding numbers of pints to her rating would need to be drank.

h8scobes

the guys say that im very fair with my grading towards average birds, like its rare i'll say that a girl is ugly but at the top end of the scale i have very high standards.

someone like shakira would only be pushing the 10...cheryll cole is like a 7

I like the classic 1-10 system. We have a few rules for it though:

a) Both 0 and 10 are impossible to get to. 0 would be infinitely ugly and 10 infinitely good looking.

b) Personality can have absolutely no impact on the score whatsoever.

c) You can never actually tell a girl her score, because you will never be honest.

d) 5 is an average looking girl. Therefore 6 isn't actually bad looking.

e) 9+ ratings are reserved for classically amazing looking women. They are extremely rare and you'll generally remember any 9+ girls for a long, long time.

f) You can usually subtract at least 1-2 from how a guy rates his own girlfriend.

g) Most guys rate far too high on the scale

I use football teams -

Ive been with lots of West Broms before - they are very good at going down.

Been with a few Man Utds - They love being on top

Been with plenty of Liverpools - they think they are so much better than they actually are

etc etc

The OP didn't ask that - and attractiveness doesn't just mean looks, that's only one aspect of attractiveness.

Going to the trouble, David Attenborough like, of examining the looks "standards" within different groups/creating a mathematical looks rating system - no, I don't do that. I judge a person's attractiveness based on my own criteria which isn't subject to the approval of my peers. Attractiveness is, after all, subjective.

For me its a scale of one to ten.

one being sober.

ten being unable to feel my extremities.

ah come on now, you are getting too caught up with the peer thing....we all rate people on physical attractiveness within a few seconds of meeting them and if someone else happens to have the same view as ourselves i.e. person x is attractive, that doesn't necessarily make us sheep-minded shirley

easyeason3

It might sound like a cliche but unless once someone can make me laugh & I feel comfortable around them then I don't really care what they look like.
Plenty of good looking people have no personality at all & are usually shyte in bed

Difference between "Look at him", "Yeah, he's hot" and a rating system/observing the socialising habits of people who occupy various strata on the "scale". That said, it seems men are more wired to notice the visual than women are, which is totally fair enough, but actually going to the trouble of the above? Seems autistic/adolescent/dumb frat boy.
