The good thing about this is that I will never attract these guys.
- Tell me about your philtrum.
  
  It... exists
  
  Curious
- Oh no your lack of belief in my actractiveness to you has made me attracted to you.
  What do you do?
  Roll a d20 this is a DnD scenario now.
  Ew, well I am not attracted to you, internet stranger.
  Wait, what if you were a woman? That would be less icky.
  Ugh comments like this prove humanity has gone backward.
  I am bored all of these are acceptable answers...
  
  I'll take the d20 roll

This is satire, right?
right?
- It's not. That subreddit is garbage. The mods legit ban people if the user rates people higher than the mod wants.
  
  Let them put themselves on the rating scale see how they fuckin do
  Although their "primer" for men is probably about tilt angle of trilby, number of chins, and consistent neck hair within 3-5mm
  
  Yes but some people take that fact and ride the satire until death. This comment isn't real
  
  Holy shit, you weren't kidding. For anyone else curious, here's someone getting warned for rating someone as a 7
  
  That's pretty funny, actually.
- No
- That is reddit. What a shithole.
- Nah, its truerateme. The mods kinda make up the rating and anyone who does not rate right is banned.

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"
- You get these guys in a room with any objectively good-looking woman in real life, and they would freeze up.
  
  They don't freeze in fear. They freeze because they are analyzing that philtrum.
- they have a point
  clearly cute nerdy girls with glasses or tomboys are superior smh 😤😤.
  
  I don't care if it's knitting or being a tank mechanic, a girl nerding out over her interests is hella cute.
  Or anyone else, for that matter.
- This is their guide in case you‘re curious who they would consider 10/10.

  Fucking cringe.

MFers out here rating women like they're dogs at fucking crufts
- Didn't she post the picture and asked people to rate her?
  I agree that it's ridiculous and insane but if she asked for being superficially rated and she gets that.... You really can't blame the guys rating her.
  Almost everyone is uglier than this girl anyway. If she is a 7, we are 3. :)
  
  most posts on there are incels taking pics from girls social media and pretending to post as the girl
  
  Didn’t she post the picture and asked people to rate her?
  more like a bot posted that picture.

why did you have to expose me to this nonsense

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.

No way, please tell me that subreddit is satire 😱
- nah unfortunately it's a safe space for incels
  
  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
  
  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.

shes pretty im envious
- Actually she's quite a 8 or 9 rather for my score. You should checkout my ratemywomen page as well /s

What do you have to look like to achieve more than a 7? A biblically accurate angel?
- Totally would hit that.
- Yes. Specifically
- 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.
- If you really want to confront the madness:

  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.
- Aren't biblically accurate angels androgynous?
  
  They're fucked up is what they are. See above and also
- 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.
  
  When it comes to looks, the only meaningful scale consist of a 0 (not attractive) and 1 (attractive). E.g., if a woman I am talking to doesn't find me attractive, there is zero practical difference between me looking like Chris Hemsworth or an ogre.
- Biblically accurate angels are looking mighty fine though 👀
  
  We must have very different criteria..

oh yeah this is why im sapphic

this is actually insanity...

Idk she’d be prettier if she talked to a therapist about her insecurity in her appearance

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.

Dudes out here comparing phrenology notes like that shit still valid.

How these mfs sound like
- Thought unlocked: Advanced Race Theory

I'm giving her a 11 out of 10
- It goes to 11?

days like this, i'm happy to be fat and ugly

This subreddit astounds me, and Reddit keeps recommending it to me for some reason 😭

It's harmless and people there do ask to be rated this way. Let them.
- No.

"Sorry babe, but your canthal tilt is wayyyyy off and I highly doubt your IQ is within the required 7 points of mine (15 points would be acceptable of you rated 7 or higher on the objective attractiveness rating scale)".

I guess if they've got clear criteria for their ratings... Nope, those subs are fucking weird.
