Measuring male beauty has always been a hard topic. It's all based on looking and estimating a score. I see the truth: we could do much better than this. For this, I decided to work on this topic.
I studied the mathematical behaviour of things like height, jawline, eye shape in perceived attractiveness and figured out the best way to measure these aspects is with weighted average. Weighted average takes into account not only the score of, let's say, a man's eyelashes, but it also computes the final score taking into account the perceived importance of this aspect according to the person giving the score (respondent). This perceived importance is called Weight Score in my model. This way we can actually score a man's attractiveness considering the unique perspective of the respondent, which is how attractiveness is perceived in real life. With this model we're able to transform a subjective concept like male beauty into an objective, measurable metric.
All this may sound complicated by some users of looksmaxxing.org, but it is the same model that computes the score of tests in schools. To calculate all this, I made an Excel template that anyone can download and start using this new way of rating a man's attractiveness.
The name I gave this new scale is Absolute Beauty Scale (ABS) and it has two scores*:
So what dimensions of beauty does ABS consider? To answer that we need to accept some truths to beauty. For example imagine a woman choosing between two physically identical men. Let's say both men are equally physically attractive but one of them is rich and the other one doesn't have a penny in his name, or maybe one has two houses and the other only has one, or the other has great sense of humour and the other man does not. We know who the woman is going to choose because real life beauty is not all about looks. It considers several dimensions of beauty. The dimensions I decided to include are:
I believe this model can be used even on dating websites and may be adapted to a gauss curve like the PSL Scale. It can help young men from this board improve in a more accurate way without sacrificing simplicity.
Now I need to ask the community for help for some ideas I have with this model:

The name I gave this new scale is Absolute Beauty Scale (ABS) and it has two scores*:
- ABS Individual Score (ABSIS): It's the score of a single respondent so it varies from respondent to respondent.
- ABS Average Score (ABSAS): It's the average score an individual has been given. It can be interpreted as the collective perceived beauty of an individual.

- Physique (body and face)
- Status (power, authority and capital)
- Personal presentation (hygiene and clothes)
- Personality

Now I need to ask the community for help for some ideas I have with this model:
- Adapt ABS to a Gauss Curve to tell if a for example, a man with an ABS score of 84 is more attractive than 98% of men.
- I need users to rate various men like looksmaxxing.org users or even models in order to correctly assign score categories in ABS.
- STEM students from looksmaxxing.org to critique and improve the scoring method.
