What does a bell curve mean relating to dating romantically? ?

[Maree70]

Someone describe a bell curve concept and said there are the low quality and high quality

What does it mean to be in the middle of a bellcurve

[HighValue]

Bell curves are a thing some teachers use for grading which is always inaccurate. It means the lowest ranked person HAS to be given the lowest score and the highest ranked person HAS to be given the highest score. For example, if there was a group of students taking a test and the highest score in the class was an 80%, that would be counted as the highest ranked and be given credit as if it were a 100%, which is a flawed system and inaccurate.

Means there are only a few 10/10s, only a few complete duds. That most people are somewhere near the middle.

[Maree70]

So no one is perfect but also no one is super flawed and that’s what makes majority of people in the middle?

[BarryLiverstone]

Yep. Like sure a rare few are near perfect and a rare few and undateable. But most people make an effort, have flaws.. but have personalities and should be worth a shot. Never know who you will connect with right? So many people go for their “type” when it’s true the opposites attract

[Maree70]

I guess I took offense to this because I thought being in the middle was not a good thing lol

[BarryLiverstone]

Your bad. Can’t be offended when you are in the 80%

[Maree70]

What you mean?

[Maree70]

What do you mean by that?

[OlderAndWiser]

Being in the middle means you are normal.

[Maree70]

Is this any different from the scale people use to rate someone on the scale of 1-10

[OlderAndWiser]

It should be very similar.

[Maree70]

What if someone doesn’t know what you look like but still would put someone in the middle of bellcurve

[OlderAndWiser]

If someone has never seen you or a pcture of you, they shouldn't be rating you at all.

[Maree70]

I don’t know if he was trying to rate my looks he was a dating coach explaining where I might fall based on my dating history

[Maree70]

He did see a picture of my thumbnail on instagram don’t know if that counts

[Guy13]

You are average if in the middle.

[In_Trance]

Anything like that is just an excuse that unsuccessful people use as a crutch

[Maree70]

A dating coach told me this lol
