Yeah, and most people's scales are way off. The HB scale should be approximately Normal. This means that about 68% of people should fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean, about 95% are within 2 standard deviations, and 99.6% within 3 standard deviations. Since the Normal distribution technically does not have endpoints, I assume the HB Normal approaches zero on the left and 10 on the right. This means that there are essentially no zero's or 10's that exist.

To put this in perspective:

5/10 is better than 50% of the population (0 s.d. above mean)
6/10 is better than about 73% of the population (0.6 s.d. above mean)
7/10 is better than about 88% of the population (1.2 s.d. above mean)
8/10 is better than about 96% of the population (1.8 s.d. above mean)
9/10 is better than about 99% of the population (2.4 s.d. above mean)
9.9/10 is better than about 99.9% of the population (3.0 s.d. above mean)

Obviously this is grossly oversimplified, since we do not know for sure what distribution to use. The population's relative attractiveness should theoretically increase over time, meaning there would be fewer people on the lower half of the scale. For simplicity's sake, I am assuming Normal. (One could also argue that the Normal scale would hold no matter what, but that our standards would decrease as the number of attractive people increases.)

For the record, I would have sex with a girl who is 5/10 or better. Also, this does not necessarily mean I would stick with an 8/10 over a 7/10. At that point, chemistry and intelligence matter the most.

The problem is, I think, that most people tend to grade women the same way that grades are handed out in school. So they think of "average" as a 7, or a C, and move from there.

I've stopped using the HB scale altogether. Ultimately, I don't give a flying fuck how hot you thought the girl was. All I care about is if you think she's attractive enough to go talk to. The HB scale might have had its use back in the Mystery Method days, when determining just how hot she was changed how you acted to her (i.e. if she was hotter, you would neg her more), but truthfully, we as a pickup community have moved past that now.

It's outdated and it objectifies women, and on top of that it winds up being a way that PUAs can try to one-up each other or let each other know how good they are. It's totally unnecessary.
