I have pmed my face to quite a few people, and despite our efforts in trying to be objective with ratings, what was observed from anecdotal experience was that the ways users had rated me was almost akin to a bell curve.
I had a few users rating me quite low, many rating me very avg looking and a few rating me quite highly.
Thus I came to the conclusion that I am quite avg looking.
Now at looksmax we try to objectify attractiveness, we try to see it as a measurement like height. If someone were to be 165cm vs 180cm. It is an objective fact the 180cm person is taller, there is no debate. Whereas when we are rating faces, there is debate. There is no objective fact, different people find different things attractive and our own biases even appear on this site - a site where we are literally are trying to minimise bias. Now imagine what people irl think, how subjective looks are. How one man can be a very good looking person to one girl, but very ugly to another -> much like how to some users I am above avg looking, but to other users I look awful.
Thus in order to give any meaningful answer as to "what is my rating", we must understand that ones rating is an average, and thus objective beauty does not exist (if it did, everyone would have the same opinion).
Now there is another explanation for this (one which makes a fair amount of sense to me) as men we are actually more varied in our taste/rating. And so thus AUTOMATICALLY our ratings are going to be more spread out and we most likely rate differently to how women would actually rate.
I'd like to hear your opinions on this
