Why did people stop using the numerical PSL scale?

[luuk]

I’ve genuinely seen it used more on reddit and tiktok than on here these days
A continuous, normally distributed (?) scale makes more sense to differentiate people rather than just 6 discrete labels

Granted most users probably aren’t informed or obsessed enough to accurately rate with that level of precision but it would still make more logical sense

It's annoying and /10 is way easier

/8 PSL is mostly a meme to me

The labels are based on /10 ratings if you're referring to "ltn mtn htn"

 

[SanTheTrucel]

The decile scale is easier to understand in the broader sense

So easier to understand more ppl use it

8/10 PSL is mostly a meme to me

decile scale creates more confusion since its not normally distributed though, normies use 6/7 out of 10 to represent avg
you’d have to clarify which scale you were using

But we are not normies, we are PSLers, so we know when someone says 4.5/10-5/10 in this space he means average

But TikTok retards believe it goes like this
subhuman<sub3<sub5<ltn<mtn<htn<chadlite<chad<true adamn

subhuman<sub3<sub5<ltn<mtn<htn<chadlite<chad<true adamn

Ofc sub5 is just a way of saying "sub mtn" "sub5/10"

the sub_ and true _ tiktokisms piss me off and only serve to confuse people here when people use them in the ratings forum

It's just general retardation. They don't know what sub means

there's literally no situation when using sub5 would even make any sense. It's such a horrible term. It literally fits half of the fucking scale

That's the point, it's a descriptive term, it's not that deep. Also the conotation is that women don't view anything below mtn as human anyway, which is why its synonymous with subhuman.

Isn't out of 10 easier though if we're mapping it too percentiles,5/10 50th percentile, 9/10 90th percentile etc

out of 10 people default to much to saying 6 or 7 is an average. i got a friend to rate me once in 2023 and she called me a 6 - didn't want to disrespect but didn't want to give any signals.

psl is (was) niche enough whereby ltn-mtn was the general average and feelings weren't hurt and it made sense. anyways, everyone knows the female perception attractiveness chart and isn't that what matters? its not normally distributed.

 

[GynoGladiator]

I prefer /10 but /8 is similar i guess just in a 1.25x ratio. Most people use ltn mtn htn so i dont bother

out of 10 is better, just ignoring the 9/10 and 10/10

PSL scale is retarded, its max 8 because "no one is a 10" then niggas proceed to rate literal male models 7 and absolutely no one gets an 8
normie scale mogs this gay autism

I mean if its a normal distribution then both tails are asymptotic; whilst there is technically a nonzero chance of someone having mathematically perfect facial features, its small enough to never occur

The question is whether the scale is absolute or relative, if relative then 8 should be the most attractive man ever (“true adam” as tiktokcels call it), if not then 8 represents an unattainable standard of perfection

More like a check point

Bellow mtn is incel
