My take on the HB# system

IMO the whole point of the HB system is that it's NOT internal, it's supposed to standardize something (to the extent possible) that would otherwise be nebulous and subjective.

The point of the HB system is to pin down how valuable/attractive a given girl is to men at large, not to you or I specifically. This is why its valuable in a FR and in pickup literature, because it provides a common point of reference.

OP seems confused about what the HB system is for. It isn't to tell you which girls to pursue, it provides a general framework that others understand for how girls of a given rating are to be approached (i.e. hotter = more negging) and how they are inclined to react (i.e. stronger bitch shield, more social proof required, etc).

As for who you pursue....uh...whoever you want. No one's telling you to walk away from the 7 who's DTF so you can go spit game at the 9 who won't touch you.

The point of the system is it reflects how the Target / Girl thinks about herself in the social situation, not about how you value her looks or personality.

Of course it doesn't reflect YOUR value of her, it never was suppose to.

A regular girl at the playboy mansion might think she is a HB6, but at her local bar she knows she is a HB9. She will respond in both situations accordingly.

edit: I think it is childish to put numbers on how you value a woman, there are too many factors to boil down into a number...

For me, I think how down to earth a girl is is more attractive than physical qualities. In other words, a woman can be absolutely gorgeous but if she's uptight or bitchy or high-maintenance, give me the girl that is less physically attractive but who I can shoot the shit with. If that makes any sense.

You are fundamentally incorrect on how the HB scale is supposed to work. It isn't based on YOUR perception of her value, it's based on HER perception of her own value. You could think she's a 6, but if she gets a lot of validation and thinks she's the shit she might be a HB8, and might shoot you down just as quickly as a real 8 if you don't bring tight game. Likewise an actual 8 in looks could be an HB6 if she has low self esteem.
