This has been bothering me for like the past year because looksmax.org (before the popularity on tiktok) considered anyone around MTN to be average, and now its considered above average?

BTW send examples of MTNS just so I can see what you guys think what a MTN looks like.

I understand the thought behind it

Women rate average guys as below average so an accurate attractiveness rating scale would rate similarly

If you're average you're still technically "below" what's considered attractive so it's not enough

Yeah but the point here is that MTN is getting rated "above average"

Cause the average is ugly in women's eyes, being mtn means you're slightly above that

Tbh you're like HTN but if you fix the jaw and eye area you can be higher

so being a 5/10 is above average to women eyes?

Messi is a pretty good example of an average looking person.

the scale has changed many times over the years, it's just gotten harsher over the years

I’m a textbook example of a MTN

MMTN here. LMTN irl (because of bloat, imperfect lighting, bad angles, bad hair)

TikTok retards not understanding bell curves and trait distribution. The whole point of the scale is to say that most people are average and that isn’t good enough due to hypergamy. That’s why HTN is supposed to be rare.

Women’s ratings of men have never been included in a scale like this because it’s not readable. 80% of men should below average then on the scale. That leaves like just chadlites and Chads.
 
Cause Gen Z is retarded, they're literally illiterate studies show. MTN is average by definition.

Yea on like a bell curve model 20% is HTN+. Which makes sense logically and visually on a graph.

Ngl trying to think in TikTok terms is why I said chadlite as 20%. Was going between /10 scale and MTN scale being like 6/10 to these guys yet Chad is 8/10 and was converting to percentages. Confusing. But yea top 20% starts at HTN.

Wouldn't that make the terms ltn or sub 5 redundant? Thought that'd follow up with ltn starting at >=5 and mtn meaning average normie

I mean I dont really care about the PSL rating system, if you are good looking to girls then you are HTN+

Also tbh dw about trying to be chad because HTNs irl are still seen as Chads or equivalent

I just dont get how MTN is considered "above average". Also looksflation is a made up thing all because some retard on tiktok thought that seeing more gl people meant there was too much to adjust for, which made no fucking sense (unless if everyone was chad then maybe that would be the new average)

I think the idea was that you're normal if you're atleast a 5, and then ltn to htn being rankings of said normal people.
Ofc this is just my interpretation based from peoples rankings across social media etc
