Beauty Scale 1 to 10

Warning, this is a shallow post...Not my post..stumbled upon this :)

When I talk about how hot girls are, I use the scale of 1-10. Nothing new, but I've put a bit more of thought into it than that. I really like how easy it is to describe it. I thought I'd share it with you.

Ugly is somewhere from 1-3
Average from 4-6 and
Pretty from 7-10.

What's more interesting about this one is that it is like a bell curve. 1's and 10's are both incredibly rare. 4-6 is very common, more than 70% of all people fit into this range.

1 is repulsively ugly. Like, you were burned badly, your face melted, you are V for Vendetta without the mask. So fat you look like Goldmember from Austin Powers. I don't think I could personally ever get beyond the physical repulsion to have a romance with such a person. 1 in 10,000 people will be this ugly.

2 is very ugly. You're a woman that looks like a man, or a man that looks like an orangutan. Your lips are too big for the rest of your face. Your figure is non-existent, so fat that your basic body shape is a circle. A person like that would take a lot of getting used to before you can actually look past their physical form and love them romantically. 1 in 200 people may be this ugly.

3 is ugly. Something about you is wrong. Maybe you have really big eyebrows, or your lips are somewhat puffy. You've got many moles/acne or just look stupid. You are fat enough to be on the unattractive side. A person like that would not attract me for romance at first, but if I got to know them well enough their inner qualities could outweigh their physical imperfections. 1 in 50 people may be in this category.

4 is below average. You have some minor defect, but otherwise not bad. Or you are just incredibly plain with a poor figure. Or a little fat, but not cute and a little fat. A person like this would not be the first to attract me for a romance, but looks would not deter me from a romance with such a person if there was any chemistry. 1 in 5 people may be considered below average.

5 is standard/average. It's not unattractive, but it's not good either. Somewhat plain, a figure that doesn't instantly turn a guy on, but at least there's something there, enough to get someone interested. If fat, not in a bad way, cute or just slightly. Or maybe someone who would otherwise be plain or slightly ugly, but with an excellent figure. A person like this would not be the first to attract me for a romance, but looks could make an attraction, and if there's chemistry looks will add to the relationship. 1 in 2 people will be average.

6 is slightly above average. There's a good look there, but not spectacular. People of the opposite sex will be better disposed to people with good looks like this. Might have a good figure, a pretty face, a great smile, but not all of the above to a great degree. A person like this attracts me for a date from their looks, but there needs to be some chemistry for me to want a serious relationship. 1 in 5 people may be above average.

7 is pretty. Genuinely attractive. Good figure, good face. Or excellent figure and ok face/excellent face but just an ok figure. Perhaps everything good, but not truly exceptional. Overall, the impression is one that will attract most men or women, at least physically. I'd want a date based on their looks and I'd hope there is some chemistry. 1 in 20 people may be this pretty.

8 is beautiful. Very attractive at first sight. Lovely face, exciting figure. This is the kind of person that makes you want to smile at them when you see them because their looks grab your attention. Their eyes and face draw you to them and it's easy to like them and hard to dislike them. It's hard to say no to a person this beautiful. 1 in 200 people may be this beautiful.

9 is gorgeous. Drop dead hot. Supermodel quality. This is the kind of person that you see in your dreams. Almost irresistible, and you'd definitely notice them as soon as they entered the room. It requires feats of poetry to adequately describe how beautiful they are. So beautiful you'd almost be willing to ruin your life for them just to have a romance with them. 1 in 2000+ people may be this gorgeous.

10 is the perfect beauty. Better than the lover you see in your dreams. Beyond poetry. There is no parallel, you are theirs to command if they so desire. A god or goddess. 1 in 100,000+ may be the perfect beauty. I've never seen one in person. Maybe they don't really exist.

And yes, there is a 6.2 and a 7.3. And how a person dresses can move them up a full point or maybe even two.

Is this shallow? Yes. Of course. I don't say you should pick your gf/bf/wife/husband based on this. This is just how I judge beauty. Some of my wording is geared towards women, but the principles can be used to describe men as well.

BTW, there is a scale for guys too and I consider myself somewhere between 4 and 5..
