I'm not a fan of the numerical rating either but to humor it for a second to the people who do isn't a 7 still Above average looking or am I using the system wrong? Lol
No, that isn't how it works. I don't rank the guys I know against each other and put them in some sort of order. I like my guy friends for all different reasons, none of which has to do with scoring them on a scale.
Yep. Pretty much.
I get the impression that some guys scan all of the women in the room and think "I'd do her, her, not her," etc. Maybe this rating business is an offshoot of that.
Attractiveness is not very subjective. 95% of guys will rate a given woman in the plus or minus 1 point range. Same with women evaluating the attractiveness of a given guy.
You apparently know very little about how statistics actually work.
When you assign numbers to people, you REDUCE them to 1 characteristic. But you know what else it does? It actually hurts YOU more than it hurts the women you rate.
It reveals YOU as needy, shallow and immature. It limits YOU because you immediately assume that two girls who you call 10s are the same, when they are NOT. It screws YOU up because you will interact with them based on YOUR screwed up scale that is not even accurate in the first place. It handicaps you from the get-go.
Let's see, every athlete is different. You cannot measure heart and soul in a sport, yet they are assigned numeral values every time. They are rated.
How about intelligence? IQ is widely debated and used.
How about your tests for employee candidates? Tests don't measure passion. Every candidate is multi faceted. Yet they are used all the time to rate you.
Ok Employee A is an 95%. Employee B is 75%...etc
What is so different about dating? He's a 6, she is a 7..etc.
Isn't it ironic how when things don't agree with your worldview, you dismiss them as "messed up".
Because you're just basing it on looks alone. There are SO many other things that factor into it. Also, everyone I know doesn't date someone based on a subjective number. In your world that might be the case but to say that is true of "most people" is quite a stretch.

That always gets me too... somehow when the people who talk numbers like this they somehow forget that "5" would be the median--the average person on the street. I chalk it up to a Freudian slip with people who think like this... they are do focused only on good looking people, they don't even notice people who they consider average or below average.

I'm sure it's a curve anyway since they obviously assume they are near the top of the scale.
Sounds high school, sitting around and rating women and men. Egoic, silly and not very enlightened.
I thought under the foolish guise that's we're supposed to rise above the muck.... seems like humans and pigs have more in common than I thought.
