Because the ugly users don't post their pics. You gotta be either a brave fool or delusional retard to post your pics here if your ugly. Few people are that retarded so usually only the good looking people post their pics up. The average org user is subhuman but we never know what they look like
The "Rate Me" section creates a massive survival bias. You only see the photos of the people brave enough to post them—and the brave ones are almost always the people who already look good.
•The users who actually upload photos usually fall into two groups. They are either average-looking people looking for a baseline reality check, or genuinely attractive people who are fully aware they have good features but want validation or optimization advice.
Because it is a gamble that requires a thick skin, only people who already have a strong foundation of confidence—or those desperate for an ego boost—take the risk
This creates a vicious psychological loop for the people who don't post:
1. An insecure person joins the forum to find ways to look better.
2. They visit the "Rate Me" section and see only good-looking people posting.
3. They see these good-looking people getting rated as "average" or "below average" by hyper-critical users.
4. The insecure lurker thinks, "If that beautiful person is considered a 4/10, I must be a 1/10. I can never post my face."
the site is an optical illusion. The forum is a massive pyramid where thousands of insecure people hide at the bottom, while a handful of confident or attractive people stand at the top showing their faces.
