Default The System

I was having this discussion with a friend the other day. It was a simple, everyday discussion about how *ahem* hot certain of our coworkers were.
We got into a debate about
the standard 1-10 ranking system and ultimately decided it was flawed.
I present a new system of ranking to the great and august body of wisdom that is CP for perusal and argument.

10 - There are no tens. Ten out of ten means perfect. No one on this earth is perfect.

9
- The Unicorn. A lucky, lucky person may see one nine in their lifetime.

8
- The hottest of the hot. Here lives Scarlett Johansen, Kim Smith, the very hottest models and actresses.

7
- Most models and hot actresses, the hottest women you see in everyday life.

6
- Everyday attractive women. Beautiful even, women any man would be happy to have on his arm.

5 -
Averagely cute women.

4
- Not attractive, the kind of woman you take home from the bar but don't tell your friends about.

3
- Actively unattractive.

2
- Off putting, causes queasyness to look at.

1
- Downright ugly, the kind of woman your average CP poster could hope to attract.

0
- Your mom.

Of course, this system can and should be equally applied to men. Whither dost thou fall on its unforgiving scale?

10 - Hot as hell plus great personality
9 - Great looking plus decent personality
8 - Great looking but bobblehead
7 - Cute and usually smart
6 - Meh, not great, could be passable
5 - Gotta be tipsy
4 - Gotta be half cut
3 - So hammered its rape
2 - Beefcake
1 - driveway's mom

The Binary System
0 - No
1 - Yes

And yes, a 0 can become a 1 with the right amount of alcohol. It's an easy system, and afterall, it answers the most important question.

Wouldn't 5 be just average woman rather than average cute woman. Kinda like, "She seems like someone I want to hang out with and talk about sports with And point out other hot chicks and ask, "Don't you think she's hot".

Somewhere between 5-10 is the girl that nomatter the predetermined system, becomes the most beautiful girl in the world to you and ends up at 11 because of unhealthy fixation/obssesion/or plain old love. Just human nature.

In any case, there's too much variation in desirable qualities to be able to incoporate all the elements you would want into one individual to create the mythical 10.

My friends and I often measure female attractiveness in miliHelens. Went Helen was taken to Troy the Greeks sent 1000 ships. If you were an Ancient Greek, if you'd send 1 ship to go after a girl that's 1 miliHelen. Ergo, there's a lot of women who don't even get 1/1000 on this scale. On the other hand, it offers you really good precision once you get higher than that.

First of all, anyone named "Mom" has no place on a list such as this. Anyone named Mom is inherently an asexual being, and is thus not comparable to actual women. I'd rather turn gay than think of my mother sexually.

I therefore suggest that your 11-level scale is actually a 9-level scale, starting at "Downright Ugly" and going up to the "Unicorn" ... there's no point in having a level 10 if it doesn't actually exist!

As for myself...I'd say I used to be a 4. Then I got a hair transplant as well as chin, pectoral, and penile implants...now I'm an 8.

What does plastic surgery do to the rating? Surely it has a negative effect...What the hell is attractive about something that isn't real?

EDIT: Haha, according to Cubed Inmate, it DOUBLES the rating. Impressive, to say the least.

Haha, this has the making of a classic thread. Just wait till Fotze gets here.

Anyway, I think you're rating system is what I called "EA Sports" flawed. You might as well make proper use of the numbers you implement into the system.

For EA sports, they use a 0-100 system, and yet every single player in their games is typically inbetween 65-90. Why???

Although maybe in theory your system works. There should only be one 10 in human history. And since you never know if someone hotter will come along that would usurp a potential 10, you can never safely hand the title out.

Actually it's a logarithmic scale... going from 4 to 8 is a 10,000-fold increase.

It should be "The Scale", not "The System". "The System" is what The Man uses to keep you down, brother.

10 - Perfectly fulfills your particular list of kinks. Brain disengages from body when she is near.
9 - Hot enough that you don't care whether or not she conforms to the kink list.
8 - Has a couple flaws, but still pretty damn hot.
7 - Cute, has a couple good features, but the rest is unremarkable.
6 - Attractive but nothing special, can dress up to a 7 or slob out to a 5 sometimes.
5 - Plain, might have one nice feature.
4 - Plain and either well over or seriously under weight.
3 - No attractive features, at least one or two ugly features.
2 - Ugly enough to elicit sympathy.
1 - Hideous, instantly kills erections within 20 feet.
0 - Hideous, bad-smelling, and probably used to be a man.

Personality can push a woman up a couple slots or down all the way to zero.

I prefer my system. It's a scale from 1-10; each number represents how many beers I would have to consume before I would sleep with somebody.

So everyone's a 0?

I disagree, as there is always room on this scale for Your Mom.

I like your scale very accurate…the problem I have with most guys is that there scale doesn’t have high enough standards every women with a good hip to weight ratio is a 10

However I do love the binary scale 1 or a 0…you can also incorporate a 2 which means that you would give your left testicle to sleep with them
