i forget what it was already.

in other news, i think breaking bad has usurped mad men as my favorite show. i'm sure that will change whenever mad men comes back, but breaking bad is so ****ing good right now it makes wanna **** myself.

I haven't seen an avatar that bad since Emergency_Pepsi.

So I was in the skype chat the other day and it became obvious to me people have really weird way of ranking girls.

This is how I do it:

Of girls in the age range you want to ****:

10- top .01%, aka better than 9999 of 10k girls that walk by
9- top .5% aka better than 199 of 200 girls that walk by
8- top 3% aka better than 32 of 33 girls walking by
7- top 10% aka better than 13 of 14 girls walking by
6- top 33% aka better than 2 of 3 girls walking by
5- top 50% aka better than half the girls

estimated the above...ldo

It seems a lot less people have a bell curve and a lot more people have a curve more shaped like this:

I've devoted multiple rants to people's inability to grasp a bell curve. It's maddening.

I think once you get in the 5-6 range you're just dealing with generalizations because nobody knows wtf a "median" chick looks like

Also, geographics. A 5 in Southern California is not a 5 in Wichita KS

They might not have a specific image in mind, but obviously it's the girl who, when asked about her looks, compels you to say some form of, "Meh, she's alright."

Meh but its not about that, its about mos people giving out more <5 ratings than > 5 ratings.

re; Vintage: You lower the number your willin to **** imo, not change the whole scale

+1.

ccuster,

obviously ratings get way deflated cause every guy wants to look like he has high standards so then you post a pic of adorable casey and ppl are like, meh, her skin is a little dry. 6/10. when in reality, they would bust a fat load in her if they had the chance. but when everyone starts doing it, you have to adjust your scale too or else you're giving nasty chicks 3s and everyone is like wtf that girl is soooo nasty give her a 1!!!!!111

there's also the fact taht we're human and do things based on functional relevance rather than some autistic and neurotic mathematical computation. so it makes sense that lots of girls get rated 4 and below. if you're less than a 4 it doesn't really matter, so you can have less variability for them. if you mistakenly give a 2 a 3, nothing changes. meanwhile, i assume you're ****in anything above a 5, you've got greater variability to work with. you have your 5s 6s 7s etc. so sth like

girls i wouldn't **** 0 - 4
girls i'd **** if i were drunk and they forced the issue 4-5
girls i'd **** if it fell into my lap, but not be too excited about 5-5.5
girls i'd **** and enjoy it, but wouldn't really try to get with or spend $ on 5.5-6
girls i'd **** and put a little effort in, 6-6.5
girls i'd **** and put a little effort and possibly a little $ into 6.5-7
girls i'd **** and enjoy it and would put in effort and money, but wouldn't necessarily date 7-8
girls i'd **** and enjoy the **** out of it and brag to all my friends and probably date regardless of what her personality was like 8-9
girls i'd only **** once cause i'd just end my life on a high note after finishing 9-10

like a tourney structure - once you're in the money, it is important where you finish. but if you didn't cash, nobody gives a **** if you busted first or on the bubble.

r u sure u meant to write spend $ on?

yeah i have enough money for rent and food so leftover money can now be spent on girls, whereas before it was an unafforadable luxury imo

Female attractiveness is not even close to being bell shaped. It obviously depends on how you define the sampling range but with 68% of the United States being fat that is going to mean that 3/4 of the population cannot score above 4.

I looked up that 68% to try to find the correct number, only to become very, very sad.

so your entire range of dateable girls is "probably some 8-9s"?

Usually it's just I'd either I'd f*** said girl or not. Then if I am willing to f*** them I put them into a catogory if I'd be willing to date them.

Again, to echo what Custer said earlier, that just means you set a higher number for how low you'd go. 5's being fat doesn't mean that it destroys the bell curve; it just means that the big part of the bell curve isn't attractive.

But then you come off badly since that number would be quite high. Likely 8 or 8.5 and maybe even 9.

It also leads to weird scenarios where 9.999s are the cut off if you use a Walmart store as the population and cases where you would define 2 as the ****able rating at the Playboy Mansion.

I think having a set batch of characteristics for each number works a lot better to convey a more universal number scale.

The population should always be all girls who are considered for rating. the playboy mansion is filled with 9s and 10s, walmart is filled with 2s and 3s.

i use something of a bell curve but not a perfect normal distribution.

No real reason to go around making a new scale for every locale you're in. I think you just perpetually use the whole country and realize fully that you're almost never going to see a 10 in a WalMart (especially if you have good enough taste to never enter one obviously), but you'll see a decent number of them on a regular basis in other places.

Making a new curve for every damn place you go would only make sense if you're GCG and viewing every single errand as a place where you're actively looking to try to get laid ASAP.

I still prefer something more like a hotel ranking system.

To get 1 star you need four walls and a door. Running hot and cold water but not necessarily safe to drink. Bugs optional.

To get 4 star you need dining with extended hours, nice bath products, a meeting / conference facility with modern technology.

To get 5 star you need 24 hour room service, original architecture, valet and concierge, etc.

I think girls are tougher to rate than hotels because I think there's a whole bunch of different ways to be attractive in some way or another, combinations of looks and personality that are hard to put into such tangible terms. Really easy to describe how to hit certain levels in the hotel industry, as you just did.
