Why PSL will Always be the Gold Standard in Looksmaxxing


Note: This is mostly water and is for the idiot greys

Introduction: What Is PSL and Why It Matters
– Description of the PSL system
– Fallacies in the looksmax community

1) Fault with How People Evaluate PSL
– Why visual estimation is not enough
– The importance of quantifiable data

2) Which Ratios Are Most Important
– Important ratios: IPD, ESR, fWHR, jaw width, etc.
– Why not everything is weighted equally

3) Dimorphism and Sexual Appeal
– Masculine/feminine qualities and evolutionary psychology
– How dimorphism is built into PSL scoring

4) Why PSL Remains the Gold Standard
– Attractiveness can be measured
– PSL as the most data-based, objective system available



Intro

Now, first and foremost, the PSL system is one of the most accurate methods of knowing how facially beautiful an individual is and etc. The PSL system puts someone's ratios, health indicators, frontal harmony, side harmony coloring, dimorphism, and etc together to know how facially beautiful an individual is. But recently, in the looksmax scene, there have been many greys who have been saying that "psl is cope" or "appeal is what matters". What individuals don't exactly understand is that PSL IS APPEAL

Opinionated Flaws In PSL

One of the largest errors individuals make is believing you can simply look at a person and have their PSL rating spot on. That's not measurement. You require actual data/their facial ratios, symmetry, health indicators (like skin tone and whites of eyes), frontal harmony, and side profile harmony. Without those, you're basically guessing blind. A decent PSL rating requires measurement. Just as you can't estimate somebody's body fat percentage by eye alone, you can't really make a good judge of facial aesthetics without dissecting the structure. Seasoned raters can definitely make educated rough estimate guesses, but even they are making intuitive judgments based on the same criteria PSL is trying to measure directly. Please understand though, that the PSL system isn't perfect and its impossible to have one that is


Dimorphism and Sexual Attractiveness

One of the least appreciated aspects of PSL is sexual dimorphism — to what degree a person's face fits into stereotypically masculine or feminine traits. Higher degrees of dimorphism correlate with attractiveness within evolutionary psychology immediately. In men, characteristics like a forward-jutting jaw, thicker brow bone, and more angular face indicate higher testosterone levels, which in the past signaled dominance and genetic robustness. In females, higher estrogen is usually reflected in features like a less emphasized chin, more rounded mouth, and increased cheekbone-to-jaw ratio. These are not only beautiful — they are natural cues that hint at fertility and strength to the human brain.
That's why PSL employs dimorphism as a basic measure. It's not relative "appeal" it's based on biological response systems. However, on the other hand extremely aggressive signs of dimorphism can also be a flaw as no woman wants an ogre. That's why PSL has the ratio chart to show the most perfect ratios. Some people have TOO much forward growth or dimorphism.



Why PSL is and Will Stay the Gold Standard
The reason why it remains the gold standard is that it really looks at things we can measure. For example we can measure our ESRS and our IPDS and our gonial angles and compile how important they are into a chart. I know there is somewhere out there where some people have come up with, but I can't leak who made it nor can I leak the actual chart itself. However, PSL will always stay the gold standard because you lazy bastards couldn't come up with a better scale 😭 So, if you keep saying "psl is cope" and "appeal matters" remember, you couldn't come up with a better scale yourself, because PSL is one of the closest to perfection.

I love and hate PSL.

Love it because it's objectively better than the average way of rating attractiveness, where apparently most people are supposed to be 7/10 above average.

Hate it because it has some level of scientific nuance, but it's not enough, and it overlooks a ton of other measurements and requirements recognized in the scientific literature to make attractiveness, it also has a particular preference for hypermasculine faces, which day-by-day are becoming less and less appealing to women (young women at least). PSL just doesn't go deep enough for me (pause), but really there's no better alternative for now.

I HOPE it stops being the gold standard soon.

agreed, it won't tho, no one's smart or disciplined enough to come up with an actual good way of measuring :ROFLMAO:

Honestly, the best theoretical way to gauge facial attractiveness would be to compile a range of scientific studies that examine which features and measurements contribute to perceived attractiveness. You'd then have to assign weighted values to each trait, adding or subtracting points depending on how much a given face deviates from average or ideal values.

But even that’s incredibly difficult. There isn’t a single study that tells us, for example, whether a 5% deviation from the average IPD for your ethnicity actually affects attractiveness and by how much.

And then you'd somehow have to factor in subjective aspects like appeal, height, and who knows what else.

It’s a monumental task. Anyone smart enough to pull it off is probably smart enough not to waste their time doing it, lol. Ironically, the “ideal” system for measuring attractiveness would be so complex and precise that it becomes unusable. Too much math, too many variables and measuring for the average .org user to be able to get any value from it.

i have your both brokie parents on a leash. Talking about poverty. Dignity can't be bought with all the money of the world. Go cry me a river, sodomite enjoyer for few bucks.

Because it's nearly impossible to create these type of studies
 
There can never truly be a gold standard. The foid brain is too mentally disturbed.

"Dignity can't be sold..." ahh talk

Dignity doesn't even have value to begin with. I'd rather have no dignitiy and live a comfortable and accomplished live, than live like the average dude but with "dignity and morals" :lul:

Look, I'm not saying go out there and pimp yourself out, all I'm saying is that more people need to get themselves very wealthy friends, it ain't even hard. Inflate their ego, give them a sweet talk and you've won, no need to suck dicks or sell your ass, and the gain is just about the same.

If you can't accept that sucking up to people in a better position than you is often one of the best methods of finding success then you're likely destined for failure. Again, brokie.

This is the best example out there. Kim K. while she was Paris Hilton's assistant, SHE WAS A MAJOR SUCK UP, and see where she ended up with more money than you and I combined. That's because she knew how to cater to the more privileged (relatively speaking, they had money before, but not as much as they do now bc of Kim), how to use their connections and status to her advantage, and managed to elevate herself because of it.

THINK BROKIE MF!!!! FUCK YOUR DIGNITY!!

DNR. Dignity/value/being a man >>>>> all your sheckels. You might as well be the wife of your wife and marry a rich one who will treat you like shit bc she brings all the money in, because verily you will have "money" through her right? which is all that matters for you.

I would absolutely be an old rich bitches "wife" if it means I get to live in a mansion, drive a luxury car and fly in a private plan. What do you have going for you? a middle class home, a 9-5 job, an average life and dying at 70 having accomplished nothing because you were too stuck up "having integrity" instead of realizing how this world actually works?

The world's richest man is notoriously known for associating with high class and talented individuals early on, stealing their work, and then profiting off of it. He has ZERO dignity and values, but look where he is today. Again, what's your point?

My point is this is not the purpose of life. You will leave everything behind. I rather be "poor" if that means for me to use bad means to be rich. Our personnalities and values are different, there is no debate. I don't even consider all those rich people because they sold their souls. We will all face the consequences of our actions, while they can't ever feel at peace because of their status or money, not even in the toilet seat, i am able to live a wholesome life and not fear my self reflection in the mirror.
I like to call you a cuck, but it's not nice, truth is just that i find your pov really short sighed. Life is too short to corrupt yourself.

I believe the complete opposite. Life is too short, man, that's true, and that's exactly why I want to live it to the fullest. Sadly, the system is rigged against us, so you have to sell the fantasy of dignity and take what works. Dignity does not pay rent, but connections and being ruthless when needed does. I've been both very poor and comfortable enough, I'm lucky to have a hard-working father who managed to make a name for himself, I refuse to go back there.

Specially after interacting with high value people, I'm friends with the children of very wealth entrepreneurs or families with generational wealth. After you get a taste of that life, you just can't avoid wanting it. I don't preach absolute moral corruption, I wouldn't kill a man for money, but I'm certainly willing to use social manipulation to get where I want to be. That's not corruption, it's knowing how rotten this world is and playing by it's rules, if you try to go against the current you're just getting swept away.

If you're fine with an average life, then you do you, I'm happy that you've found what truly calls for you, but that life is not for me. I want to be as big as I possibly can, and connections are a part of that, so you have to do everything you can to gather the best ones.
