Search Results: rating my looks

.

So I'm 16 years old and I recently asked out best friend out after hanging out for about 2 years. She said no ofc, why else would I be here? It got me thinking tho. Whenever I asked her how she rated me, she gave me a 10 (too spare my feelings), but now she said no to going to HC with me. So I set out to find an actual rating that isn't biased. Pls be honest, I'm not gonna get butthurt or go into depression.

Don't get me wrong, I do not expect Tinder to actually find me a legitimate girlfriend or relationship, I really just got it out of curiousity and to see how I rate kinda about a year ago. Anyway I consider myself a decent looking guy, stay in shape etc, although I do have a scalp issue which makes it so I have to shave my head bald, but luckily I pull it off very well for a white guy, and have told so as well. Anyway I've used Tinder on and off at bored moments and in the past year have liked probably a few hundred (maybe less I don't keep track) overall profiles and have only gotten like maybe 8-10 matches, I admit I have high standards I enforce in person and on the web, and now I do have it set for like 40 miles and live in a relatively rural area but very small compared to big cities etc. Anyway I was just kinda curious if that few of matches is something I should be concerned about when it comes to self confidence in how I look, or if Tinder matches or ratings are something that shouldn't be taken that dire

So, the MHO thing is a point of contention for some people. Many people are a little too quick to firmly insist it doesn't matter (doth ye protest too much?), and in the grand scheme of things it doesn't, but it's a feature that involves numbers that definitely exists.

You probably don't know me, but any sort of "feature involving numbers" is precisely the sort of thing that causes me to think of ways to optimize it. I like games, and MHO is a game. And like all games, when I play them (as long as they are at least a little bit enjoyable) I try to come up with ways to improve them - to balance them.

But MHO has another function beyond just the game - it's also supposed to indicate, to a reader, how much 'weight' the general community has decided that a person's opinion carries. But there are shortcoming with the current setup.

So, this is what I've come up with for MHO:
1) The current system is simply the number of MHO divided by total number of questions answered. That is your percent MHO. In the setup I'm proposing, first this would have to be renamed to "MHO rating," or just rating. For now, you can think of this rating as just the percentage, but I'll explain the differences. Whatever your percentage is will always be the minimum rating you can obtain.
2) Any opinions given after the MHO is already assigned for a question would no longer count towards the MHO rating.
3) At any point, the question asker has the option to disable MHO. They can never re-enable it, but a disabled MHO also does not count towards the MHO rating of those who have given their opinion on it.
4) Certain types of questions would automatically have MHO disabled (i. e. the 'how do I look?' questions).
5) The effect receiving MHO has on your rating is increased on questions for which there are more opinions.
6) By contrast, the effect that not receiving MHO has on your rating is decreased for questions in which there are more opinions.

I'm nearly out of room, so I'll explain 5 and 6 in an update.
