If you don't have options, you will not use a grading system. Only when you're considering your options is it necessary. You have to sort through all of that. The best way is to use a subjective grading scale. Most up through 10, to actually denote the "Sexual Marketplace Value."
The less SMV, the quicker it is to dismiss what is not really all that attractive. For a guy, personality is low value starting out. You are looking for a really great looking woman who knows how to dress and look good. You can spot quality a mile away.
You will hear a lot of women degrade the grading system, but most women also use various disceiptions for guys they find attractive. Early on, it might be looks. Then personality and sense of humor that goes hand-and-hand with confidence. And then lastly men who have status, respect and resources.
For me the number represents how they compare to others, it's basically a percentile.
A 7 is more attractive than 70% of the population, whereas a 10 would mean they are the most attractive person I've ever seen.
It's not difficult or arbitrary for me.
If you were to give me 100 women I could easily order them one by one in the exact order of how attractive they appear to me.
It's really an intrinsic thing, I'm not looking for any specific features, I just look at them and I know.
I've never rated a personality. Just simply looks. I dont believe anyones a 10, maybe a 9.5 at most. I’ve never really rated anyone below a 6. But i dont date 6s. I prefer a 7 or 8 although i feel like i’ve recently dropped from an 8 to a 6.5. I find 9s so hot but consider them out of my league. I look at facial features/structure (nose, smile, eyebrows, eye shape), posture, hairstyle, sound of voice/talk, and walk when determining what i’d rate them
It seems like a purely shallow and superficial practice. I am not a fan of assigning someone a number. To me, it devalues them as a human being even if they would get a high rating. You can admit that you find someone attractive without this kind of system.

If they are in my tier I give them a negative 1. If they are ugly I say 5/10 to be nice. If they are attractive they are a 7 minimum. If they are hot they are an 8 minimum. 10 is an unobtainable ideal; no one is a 10. 1-2/10 is reserved for people who have obtained nigh-impossible levels of unattractiveness due to facial deformity and such.
What goes into the decision making process is strictly about how attractive they appear to me. I don't look at whether the individual has certain features (e. g. eye shape, bone prominence, etc...) because facial harmony is important. That is to say, that even if you have a bunch of ugly features like Adrian Brody, you can still be attractive because those features mesh well together.
I personally rate objectively for around 90% and 10% my tastes. If I see a woman whom objectively has very good features, is shapely, has good style etc. but isn't necessarily my type, she'll still be an 8. If she's all that *and* my type, she'll be a 9 or 10. I actually tried out the app "eyeme" where you just put up pictures and get rated 1-10 straight up with a 1.1 to 1.9 and then 2 system. But I feel like it's very easy for multiple biases to come into play, and just trolling, because results are very mixed.
I honestly don't even bother rating people. If I find someone attractive, then I find her attractive. I don't bother with numbers. Only those who concern themselves with this need to do some self-reflecting and ask themselves if they have been put on this planet to subject their self esteem and their priorities to such shallow things
u I'm completely biased, I see black hair and eyes, pale skin.. or a redhead, it is 14/10 for me.. lol.
Other than that I don't like to rate, I just highlight something I really like about that someone, last times were a smile, and before that some hands.
Guys pretty much look for signs of fertility.
Youth, health (body proportions), face, hair color/texture is apparently a signal too.
Some of it is cultural.
It's hard to understand just because we're wired that way.
Conversely, a lot of guys have a hard time understanding why girls put so much into looking at a guy's economic stability, status, and confidence.
It's unfair on both sides.
Girls don't have perfect control of their appearance while guy's don't have perfect control of their earning capacity, status, and confidence.
Yeah it’s just looks. Personality is either I like them or I don’t. Anyway here is my scale (not for sensitive people) :
1. almost no one is a 1. Extremely unattractive
2. “Ugly”
3. Very unattractive. Stands out because of their looks but not in a good way.
4. unattractive or just don’t have any redeeming features
5. average looking person. You couldn’t call them attractive nor would you say they’re particularly unattractive. Doesn’t stand out
6. “cute” maybe their personality could bump them up a notch but not particularly sexy. Some people might call them “ok” looking
7. Pretty or nice looking, but not someone who would turn heads
8. beautiful, turns heads, prettiest girl or guy you know in real life
9. gorgeous, definitely top movie stars or models
9.5. Stunning, Victoria’s Secret angel, most beautiful in the world. Supermodels. Most beautiful men in the world.
10. perfect, OR a 9/8 who is someone’s “dream guy/girl”
For me it's simple if I know the person (girl really)(overall scale)
2 - ass
2 - breasts
1 - overall body
1 - face
4 crucial characteristics:
1 - career orientation
1 - respectful & assertive
1 - comfort in own skin
1 - charisma
if I don't (face value scale)
2 - ass
2 - breasts
2 - body
2 - face
Total = t
score = ((t/8 x 100)/10)
face is tricky there are 4 types of faces
0 - ugly
1 - not ugly
2 - attractive could be better
3 - attractive wouldn't change it for the world
on the overall scale 1 to 3 gets the point
on the face value scale 2 gets 1 point, 3 gets 2
For me it’s really hard to do and even harder to explain…do you consider just their physical appearance, or personality if Yk it, how they sound, their talents, their intellect, etc, etc.
If it’s solely based on a picture of someone you’ve never interacted with, I’d say look at what you like, what you dislike and compare the two. That in itself can be hard, but also confining that to a number,🤷🏾♂️.
Can literally come down to a gut feeling🤷🏾♂️. Dk if this helps. The whole think still confuses me😂.
Well if you mean trying to rate someone objectively, trying to account for the variety of human beauty, it's just something you have to have a feel for. I heard something like if you asked a bunch of people to assess something, the average is pretty accurate.
If it's about a girl, I look at the general body shape and proportions, her height, etc., and boob size, facial attractivity, and waist size. Rating people is a physical assessment.
I actually rated a fellow employee to her face once (can't remember the context by I actually think she asked me to because maybe we were talking about some other girl). I gave her like a 6.5 out of ten, which she took quite well. You always have to remember that a solid 10 is nearly impossible, it's the very highest peak of perfection, the theoretical BEST possible Goddess in the world. If you see a person who is stupendously gorgeous, you might give them a 9.5, or if spectacularly alluring, a 9.7.
Personally I don't get it either I just say that's some eye candy , or in between, but everyone is beautiful in their own way, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ✌️
I never acquired the ability to rate a person based on a photo. I just don't have that magic super power. I rate people based on a bunch of factors including personality and the rating goes up dramatically if they like me.
Well I would rate a picture intuitively in comparison to other pictures I've seen every where through out my life, where does this picture rank?
I would try and intuitively consider factors that may influence the beauty of the person in the picture too like their pose, the angle, the lighting, the editing and the filters.
And the Ranking is simply normally distributed like a bell curve. 7 would be the mean of rank I give.
I'm not a big fan of rating pictures or people. If you break it down all eating someone based on a picture is judging them based on whatever points to either make yourself feel better about yourself or making the person that your judging or rating feel good/bad about themselves. I have been judged way too much in my life and it has made me feel horrible. I dont want to put someone else through the same pain.
fact is: the vast majority of people uses the rating system wrong. everyone they find attractive automatically gets an 8 or above. how it's properly used is: a perfectly average looking person, not ugly, not "amazing" is a 5. yet people get offended when they are "just a 5". the thing about "average" is that most people are average. and if you expect to be way above or beyond or if you rate above and beyond a lot, you're using it wrong.
I don't know.. there are some masculine and feminine features which charms people in general. For example, I always liked women with huge lips, big eyes, small chin and high cheek bones.. also with a good skin and hair color contrast I'll rate this 10.
Symetry is also very important thing when it comes to rate beauty, noone would like a-symetrical face.
Rating a pic is obviously only based on the looks, and as you point out, I would not call it rating a person, but rating their appearance. How I decide on a number is from a mix of common beauty standards, my own personally type and features I like.
There is no actual formula for deciding that for me, but generally some features are more attractive than others. It doesn't necessarily mean a 5 to 6 is totally ugly or someone I wouldn't want to date at all. And even those below a 5 sometimes have one or two that stick out to being above. So that is also possible.
Kind of answered your own question. When you rate someone off a photo, you're really just putting a number on "attractiveness factor" to you personally. You can't really tell much about their personality, though you can make guesses based on their choice of clothing and their expression. Other than that, it's about how "hot" you think that person is, looks-wise.
Just the vibes primarily. As if if I saw them in the street, what would my reaction be.
I rate them whatever number they want to hear, going 'enough' cause they're usually insecure when they don't need to be
