    You could present those guys with a supermodel or the fucking platonic ideal of a woman and they would go “that’s 7.1 at most, stop overrating”

    I’m tentatively giving her an 8 but I need to see the MRI and CT scan to be certain.

      Wow dude. We havent even seen the health stats from her apple watch. 7 is generous when we don’t know her families history of heart disease. She’s sitting at a generous 4 at best until we see her 23 and me.

        Is that why the text they wrote was so disturbing to read? Have they lived in an echo chamber for so long that they think it’s okay to talk about a person like they’re a cadaver. F’ing creepy

          On one hand, rating peoples’ appearance is the whole point of that subreddit, but on the other hand… My God, do these guys have a talent for making it disgustingly creepy.

          I wouldn’t even expect actual cosmetic surgeons to talk like that.

            They rate according to extremely rigid rules which, aside from being racist, are ridiculously unfair.

              They also ban everyone, who rated too far from the consensus three (?) times.

            Okay so this is anecdotal but there is (was?) a subreddit called transpassing and I feel like it ended up having an unsettling vibe as well at times. People would end up giving opinions there that boiled down to “you won’t pass until you get cosmetic surgery”. It felt like it fed into people’s anxieties about passing rather than being a positive environment, and as well became a space where transmedicalists could thrive.

            I dunno I guess my point is that maybe it’s just a bad idea in general to have a space where you judge people’s appearance, because it will always devolve.

        I went back to reddit after that whole “protest” and that sub got popular during that period, it kept popping up in /r/all front page for me. That probably shows what kind of people made it popular.

    What do you have to look like to achieve more than a 7? A biblically accurate angel?

      Too many eyes but not fat or disfigured. 4/10.

      The whole thing is designed to allow them to call people (especially women) “mid”. They arbitrarily chose to use a gaussian distribution pattern so they had an excuse not to give anyone a score beyond 6s.

      But real answer is be a hugely successful fashion model who the sub creator found attractive. Then their “objective rating standards” would include arbitrary criteria to bundle your face in. The whole sub could be replaced with a trivial ML model if it were actually about just giving their “objective” ratings. The internal weights used by the ML model would make about as much sense as the crap spouted in the screenshot.

        I’d note that almost all of the headshots there have a lot of makeup, and the named ones are almost certainly professional makeup.

        You don’t even see light makeup until the 7s and 6.5 range. Damn neckbeard(s?) don’t even know what a woman actually looks like, and apparently expect women to pay for a professional cosmetologist to do them up before they leave the house.

        Edit: it might be an amusing experiment to post those given a “9.5”, but from a shot where they have their normal day to day “face” on and see what rank they get. Or at least how long until its deleted.

        I wonder how many people would actually sort them similar to how they’re sorted in the first picture.

        Because to me the distribution of attractive people between 5.0 and 10 seems to be completely random.

      There is the tiniest, infinitesimal amount of value in the statement that, likely because of the way we’re all graded in school, we don’t really use the full range of a 1-10 scale for attractiveness, and are sorta only really saying ugly, mediocre, attractive, or model.

      There is zero value in saying that that’s an issue and the solution is a psychopathic and dehumanizing system.

      Actually she’s quite a 8 or 9 rather for my score. You should checkout my ratemywomen page as well /s

    I know most Lemmy user’s have a hate boner for Reddit for many other reasons than this, but IMO all of the /r/AmIUgly, /r/AmISexy, /r/rateme, and other rating subreddits are an absolute cancer on the site.

    90% of posts are from new accounts with questionable verification methods, with the others being people trying to shill their OF profiles. I can accept that, but what really boils my piss is that almost all of the comments follow this pattern:

    • Slating anyone remotely attractive for being attention seeking, or posting incorrectly on a sub “intended for ugly people”, all while that person only comments on the attractive people.
    • Obvious negging, as if giving some super attractive girl a 6/10 is going to make them jump into their DM’s and ask “what can I do to be better for you sempai?”
    • The inevitable stalking of their account, attempt to give into their DM’s, or reverse image search that ends up with a post on these subs gaining you 100 new IG followers and some thirsty cunts liking and commenting on your pics.
    • Toxic behaviour when someone tries to actually be nice, or to offer some friendly advice. If I had a penny for every time a woman commented on a post on those subs with some advice, only for some guy to shit on them and say “lol no they need to go to the gym”

    Obviously, these subs are going to exist, but they just make me end up hating people, because it’s always the same pattern.

      It’s literally misogyny. As soon as women get revealed as women on online spaces like Reddit, it’s crazy to see how differently they’re treated. But when you ask people like this why they don’t have a girlfriend or get no play, they don’t have near enough introspection to think maybe it’s because of how they view women, and that women can pick up on it.

    I vaguely remember evidence posted to reddit that the whole r/truerateme sub was started by 4chan incels to try and lower women’s self esteem. Part of the plan was to post photos pretending to be super conventionally attractive women and give them low ratings anyway. IDR how conclusive it was in terms of proof, but it seemed more likely than not to me at the time.

    That sub also had a “guide” to their rating system posted. I looked at it once, and the absolute lowest ratings were like burn victims or women with noticeable physical disabilities (which is in itself not a cool sentiment), but they had “example photos” of conventionally attractive female celebrities rated at like a 3. Their whole criteria were either subjective or inscrutable above that: you could randomly shuffle most of the chart and it would make as much sense, even if you bought into their idiotic logic (which again, you should not).

    Anyway, attraction is way more subjective than any of these shitstains would have you think and everyone can be someone else’s favorite.
