Most people will only ever interact with a few thousand people in their lifetime, so their perception is narrow. I don't think I've seen a 9/10 female (~1/32k) in my real life. That's because they're concentrated in particularly high-profile places starting at a young age.
TRM is a dogshit subreddit.
What people fail to understand is that attractiveness in humans has an upper limit.
Consider a normally distributed Tic-Tac-Toe skill rating system from 0 to 100. There is an absolute upper limit of how good you can be at Tic-Tac-Toe (which isn’t that hard to achieve). If you make the scale’s standard deviation 5, the best Tic-Tac-Toe players would maybe be rated 60/100, which is stupid.
If the SD of the normal distribution is too small, the upper limit of human attractiveness will be under the highest number in the scale. This problem is exactly what we observe when the SD is set to 1: no one rates anyone over 9, and many people don’t rate anyone over 8. If Gandy is an 8, what’s a 9, and what’s a 10? 9 and 10 exceed the limits of naturally-occurring human beauty.
~1/32k
1/32k is about as attractive as humans can be. 1 in a trillion isn’t more attractive than 1 in a billion isn’t more attractive than 1 in a million. At some point of rarity the beauty level simply tops out and can’t be increased.
