Scale of 10?

[RacerCarl]

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate ... ?

There are a lot of ratings on this site and others based on a scale of ten. The thing is, everyone seems to have their own idea of how that scale works.

My thought have always been that it should be a pretty straight forward scale of percentages. IE, everything would be broken up into equal parts. 10% would rate a 1; 10% would rate a 5 and 10% would rate a 10.

Apparently some people prefer a bell curve in their ratings, where most are lumped into the 5 rating and far less are deemed a 1 or 10.

Which method do you all use?

I stopped using the scale of 10 system long ago. I find it is demeaning to the ladies being reviewed. It is another person that is being reviewed. I believe in treating the ladies with the respect that they deserve and that doesn't include rating them with numbers.

I see it like this: 1 is the low end of the scale, 10 the high, 5 is average. So if I was to rank a woman's looks as a 7, it would indicate that her looks are a fair bit better than average. Now in this case beauty is the eye of the beholder, so my rating would be conservative to factor that in, but I think i would have it in a range in which I could give as accurate a rating as possible without too much further speculation.

Everybody has different taste in women, cars, movies, computer programs etc but when I rank things, this is the general rule of thumb i use.

I don't use numbers if I don't have to. I agree to it being demeaning.

alin; What if the 5 has a "talent" that is mind blowing? What number then? ;o)

Totally with you on your 10's!

EDIT: The first picture however, if that is your taste COULD be a 10, could she not? Not my taste but I've met some who love the bigger ladies.

That first picture is a -10 for me, sorry. In regards to "talent" - this shouldn't affect how a SP looks. That should be in the "service" scale.

My thing is that if you use an even scale, then 10%(1 in 10) of all women would fit into the 10 category. 20%(1 in 5) would be rated 9 or above. 30% would be 8 or above.

If you use the scale that way, then the vast majority of all providers fall into the top 30% category in my opinion.

I bring this up, because I've been hesitant to write reviews based on the bizarre scaling that some people use. Rating a girl as a 4 when she would clearly be a 7 or 8 in the real world. I've seen reviews where they rate the girl a 6 and say her photos are accurate, but when I look at her photos(or if it's a girl I've seen before) I would have easily given her a 9 or 10.

I dont really consider other people numbers that useful, as we all like our own thing.

But I prefer a scale 0-10, so you get a true 5.0 as the median.
With a standard dev of say 2. On a nice bell.

The 10% straightline for each rating would give too many high findings.
Like if I went to Walmart Sunday morning, and saw 200 women. I dont think i'd see 40, 9s and 10s.

No woman in the pictures above is a 10...not even close...7.5 at best...

Actually personally I would like to do that 5.
She might be fun

and what actually happens is that if the guy gets ripped off, he rates everything at less than 5

if he doesn't get ripped off, he rates everything at more than five

you be the judge if points out of 10 actually means anything

...the 9s and 10s really don't need to be a SP.

unless they're just hornier than hell!

In order :

1) 1
2) 4.5-5
3) 7-7.5
4) 6-6.5
5) 7
6) 5
