Rating of 6.5 attractiveness on photofeeler, how does it reflect on dating apps?

[Anonymous]

ugh that is too low right? so far 11 people voted but dang I thought it was a cute pic. Honestly last week I did a photofeeler test with with the age range widened and it gave me a rating of 8. today I closed the gap to 25-30 year olds, since I'm 25 and the results have me shook lol. guess I'm ugly. Anyone else try this thing before and is it accurate for dating apps?

6.5 is not a lot rating at all. Not only is that a fuckable situation but it is also a dateable situation. You are in the ball game to attract high value partners in the 8's and 9's.

I would say that your hygiene and sense of fashion knocks you up a point when someone meets you. Then your confidence and character knocks you up 2 points when someone meets you.

Someone who is a 6.5 on a stupid ass photo filter might actually be an 8.5 to people in the real world who meet you in person.

very true. problem is that I can't get to the point of actually meeting up. I've been told by friends that I'm way better in looks and personality in person than on pictures. but if dating apps guys are judging from just pictures then it won't go anywhere, you know? and a bio can only do so much too.

Why don't you post a picture of yourself. Not a nude or anything. But like send me your profile shot and I can give you some pointers and ideas. I am good at that kind of advice. Also.. if you are listed as "no hookups" or "long term relationships only" then guys will swipe left. My advice is that you list yourself as unsure of what you want. That way guys dont think you are going to just fuck them and at the same time they dont think they are stuck with you merely based on your photo. So then when they meet you they come curious.

The way that I do things is I swipe right on the sexiest girls. Then on the average girls I look to see if they only want long term or some steady relationship. If that is the case I swipe left on the average girls. However, if the average looking girl is at least open to hooking up or if they are listed as "I dont know" relationship wise.. then I swipe right. I dont meet the i dont know chics with the expectation of sex. But I dont I take it as an open minded opportunity to get to know them viewing sex as possibly on the table. Its a good way to get guys swiping right. But most guys just based on looks first and then what you want relationship wise. It isn't just looks. Its the combination of the two.

Interesting app. I have a... Okay.. Looking friend and she got hella matches. I don't know what you look like but you probably look better than her. She gets plenty of attention.

[Asker]

if she gets attention she probably looks better than me lol. also it's a website! check it out if you want seems interesting

[LordSnuggles]

I'm doing it right now. If you saw her she's a solid 5. 6 if she wears leggings because she's one of those rare white girls with a big butt. Face wise nah. She's a 4.5-5

i personally wouldn’t trust those things but if you want a more accurate number then post a bunch of photos on various rating sites

[lormen]

I've had pictures rated there go from 2.8 to 7.9. It really depends on the picture. However, if on the first two pictures you tried you got 6.5 and 8 you are probable quite attractive. It is not always easy to get those scores. Moreover, girls get matches even without pictures. If I were you, I'd focus more on the date. Being open to casual sex is a plus even if you want a relationship. I swipe left on women who are listed as serious relationship only, even if I'm interested in a relationship.

I used the site "hot or not" when I was younger than you. I'd think 25-30 year olds would be more picky than "all ages." 6.5 is probably average or better. I don't know how the numbers work on that app.

[NerdInDenial]

Average is technically a 5; so, you're at least average to slightly above average.

[NerdInDenial]

I looked at the ratings and it's not really true measurement because it goes from "Very, yes, somewhat, and no." Three out of the four statements are positive. I think a better way of looking at it is count how many very, yes, and somewhat versus no.

[Asker]

yeah true. Even when I count them it's like 4 yes and 6 somewhats and 1 no. Maybe I'll just retake a selfie and swap out the pic I have right now.

[NerdInDenial]

It's kind of weird rating people on if they look smart and trustworthy.

[Asker]

right? I thought that was weird too. maybe we tend to do that when we look at someone's pic though, we somehow form a judgement on how smart and trustworthy they are? dunno

[NerdInDenial]

I think it's part of the research to test if there is a correlation between attractiveness to trustworthiness and smartness of a person. Currently, there is a correlation.

[NerdInDenial]

Even at 11 votes, it's not that accurate. You have to get at least 100.

[Iron_Man]

I don't use any of that fake photo filter stuff

[Asker]

no it's not a filter lol. it's a website that rates your photos, actually other real people are rating your photos!

[Iron_Man]

Oh ok like Hot or Hot?

[Asker]

never heard of that but I guess so. also it's a website so that's kinda convenient

[Iron_Man]

Ok
