Whenever I hear someone talk about rating a person's attractiveness on a number scale, I can't help but roll my eyes at the arrogance of it and how they're only grasping the bare bones of the psychology of attractiveness. Beauty remains entirely subjective. What I consider a "10" you might consider a "4" and vice versa. Really, you're either attracted to someone or your not. There's no real grading scale on this and thinking there is makes you look like a tool.

I think most people who do that have their own personal scale? And just because you don't use numbers doesn't mean you're not adding it up subconsciously.

da

Yeah, but the only reason to talk about a scale with others is to agree on a communal one. The scale being a personal individual thing doesn't make sense if it's being talked about.

People talk about their personal opinions all the time though?

"He's a 5." "What no he is definitely no less than a 9.8."

"Oranges suck." "No they are delicious."

"I believe in God this way." "Well I believe in God this other way so prepare for war."

not true!

You can have a personal scale and recognize that while understanding the general concept of 10 being most attractive, 1 being least.

Like if I say that person is a 9, my friend might not agree but they understand what I'm saying.

So yeah. Individual personal scale but a communal concept.

The number scale! Ugh, god I hate that. It's just... the whole concept is skeevy to me. It's like it's reducing people to numbers, to points on a scoreboard.

For me, at least, physical attraction is complex, and all kinds of factors can change how I see someone and what I find attractive.

But hey - the good news is, as soon as I hear anyone talking about the "hotness scale", I know who not to date!

I find it REALLY skeevy and I'll tell you why: Have you EVER heard a woman rate a man on the numbers scale?

Yes.

Quite a lot actually.

If you're suggesting that woman are pure kindly saints that would never objectify anyone or comment on another's appearance then I'm afraid to burst your bubble, but you're incredibly wrong.
