Drop the ten-point scale. Adopt the binary.

Quantum computing has 3 states:

0: unfuckable

1: fuckable and I'll brag to my friends

X: fuckable but I'm not going to admit it

NaturalRoundBrown · 2023-11-01T18:59:12+00:00

This is what women do tbh either he is or he isn’t. No numbers necessary 🤭

superrmatt · 2023-11-01T18:15:43+00:00

How about the tertiary? 0: no way would I bang 1: would bang if drunk 2: would bang

bobyd · 2023-11-01T18:32:03+00:00

thing arent black or white just date whoever you want not that difficult

Ok-Abbreviations9212 · 2023-11-02T03:55:11+00:00

This.

I started reading the sub about 10 years ago after I got over a LTR, and started dating again. The whole rating system, and hierarchical way of thinking always bugged me. Not because it was sexist or misogynistic, or and of that PC BS that's entered mainstream thought over the last several years. Some women are more attractive than others. Relating that value to your own entirely misses the point though.

The reason it bugged me is because... it wasn't helpful, it emphasized all the wrong things, and ignored everything else. There's no hierarchy. There's no leagues. All that status crap is unhelpful. It was never that offensive to me.. it just didn't work.

Years ago I read "The Game" and just thought it was a book about tragedy. All these men getting trapped by their own shallow desires for the hottest women available. Neal Strauss finding the super-hot model. Being impressed with dating the playmate of the year. It all seemed so shallow. I wanted to find a woman to spend my life with, not a "super model" whose claim to fame was having great tits.

I did eventually find that woman (and stopped reading/posting here long ago), and we were together for almost 10 years. It crumbled into dust in the end and there's nothing left of it now. I guess we're at 0 now.

But yes, I fully agree that there's people you want to be with, and people you don't. Assigning numbers to people as if you can compare them to one another, or some odd kind of objective system isn't really helpful.

In passing, I'll say It's a bit of a time warp after having been gone for 10 years. It's definitely a different place now. 10 years ago such a post would have been blasphemy. Now it's upvoted.

I never liked the 1-10 scale anyway, there’s too many factors to consider to just rate someone a number out of 10 in my opinion

Ok-Particular-9517 · 2023-11-01T19:22:34+00:00

Or you could use - would I walk around with her in broad daylight or not.

CursiveWasAWaste · 2023-11-01T20:09:29+00:00

I traveled South America for 6-7 months w friends and in Bolivia we adopted the 1-0 binary scale. Mostly because they were all either 0s are acceptable.

smokeandfog · 2023-11-01T20:26:30+00:00

0110101! haha good way to look at it

KingOnixTheThird · 2023-11-01T21:42:52+00:00

I rate women on a scale of 0 to 2.

0 are the women I don't find attractive at all. I will never consider dating women in this category.

1 are women who I don't ugly but aren't necessarily my type physically. I'll give them a chance if we have a lot in common and hit it off.

2 are women who are my type and I immediately find attractive.

Pastakingfifth · 2023-11-01T18:06:11+00:00

I don't really like this idea. Plenty of girls I would fuck but are not really attractive enough that I would enjoy doing it and be proud of myself afterwards.

pikecat · 2023-11-01T20:57:11+00:00

Always been how I looked at it. Fuckable and regular women.

Youredumbstoptalking · 2023-11-02T00:16:53+00:00

Area code scale is better

Kobe_curry24 · 2023-11-02T00:32:54+00:00

I agree with your point only because I know what type of women turns me on from head to toe now

robml · 2023-11-01T21:36:30+00:00

See now you're attempting to distill this into a Logistic Regression problem. The question, my friend, is where the threshold lies.

The good news is is that if you collect enough data and features this is actually a model that trains quickly so we can tune our hyperparameters to convert your real number inputs into a binary output.

Mind you we have to make some assumptions about our data but since we are sampling from the real world, given a large enough random sample size that is IID we shouldn't have a problem.

The issues about model training and deployment are left as an exercise to the reader.

EmperorofXhia · 2023-11-01T18:46:21+00:00

X/100 better

rydsauce · 2023-11-02T11:34:21+00:00

“Be Human! Adopt the binary system” 😂

epimpstyle · 2023-11-01T20:05:35+00:00

Stop rating women as X/10 and start rating them as 0 or 1: she’s either fuckable or not.

Nah is not possible because even if I say about a girl that she's HB9 maybe for you is only HB8 but it is an indicator that the girl is still gorgeous.

If you just say 0 or 1 ... it doesn't say too much.

The scale is created for the readers to have an idea of how the girl looks like, there is nothing bad with it.

SkyFalls · 2023-11-01T19:53:25+00:00

Absolutely agree! Reducing people to numerical ratings can be dehumanizing and doesn't take into account the complexities of human relationships. It's so much more important to focus on the emotional connection, compatibility, and how someone makes you feel. It's about being with someone who brings joy and meaning to your life, not just a number on a scale.

Bastianklr · 2023-11-02T05:09:08+00:00

Bro, women do that too

Their scale is how much money does a man can do.

OkResponsibility2470 · 2023-11-01T18:49:29+00:00

I guess I see where you’re coming from but I don’t really agree with the logic. You’re basically still doing the same thing except making it even more black and white

spockpin · 2023-11-02T13:56:56+00:00

The points have some utility regardless of whether you’re attracted to the person - a 5 needs more flattery and less negging than a 10. The points can help you calibrate how to best interest this particular woman.

TripleDigitNomad · 2023-11-02T14:32:04+00:00

I still use the 10-point scale, but in a 5-point manner:

0-5 = 0 = Unfuckable. No point in differentiating between a 2 and a 4, you don't even wanna get close to them.

6 = 1 = Fuckable only if desperate, usually leads to regret

7 = 2 = Decent lay, but would only go for a repeat if desperate

8 = 3 = FWB / fuckbuddy / side chick material, great addition to the roster, but wouldn't consider for a committed relationship

9 = 4 = Girlfriend material, worth giving up other chicks for

10 = 5 = Once in a lifetime material, pornstars/influencers/celebrities, etc, super rare experience

tilldeathdoiparty · 2023-11-02T03:08:43+00:00

Makes it easy in a pinch for a bro to flash a☝🏼or 👌🏼without looking like you are grading a lady from a dostance

Prestigious_Water336 · 2023-11-02T06:07:33+00:00

I do this as well. I give myself one second to determine whether or not I'd fuck her. If it's a yes I engage. It's just a fuck so who cares.

Ivannnnn2 · 2023-11-02T17:34:17+00:00

Errrm, 1-10 gives more information than 0-1...

unswunghero · 2023-11-01T18:30:14+00:00

For a FWB or a hookup, I agree with the binary.

For someone you would date/marry, you should have certain standards, in which case using an X/10 is fine as long as she meets all the other criteria that are important. I have trouble dating someone who is a 6 or 7 and then meeting more attractive girls who are similar and not feeling like "I could do better" -- had this experience on a third date with a girl who's a 6, we were out ice skating and I kept staring at all the other girls so I called things off.

zertsetzung · 2023-11-02T08:44:50+00:00

Sure kid.

Ill maybe drop the 0 to 10 scale.

Maybe...

Hyphalex · 2023-11-01T20:55:28+00:00

How good is she at washing dishes

DearSail7885 · 2023-11-01T19:41:58+00:00

OP does not get laid with HB 9-10.

How do I know this? Because legit hot babes, while fun to bang, are objectively terrible for LTRs. Anyone who has dated model-quality women can confirm that. So yes, I'm afraid you do need some form of comparative analysis. Insisting on a binary scale is just silly. Obviously some women are hotter than others.

When (if) I eventually settle down, it will be with a girl in the 7ish range, not a 9.

Elbynerual · 2023-11-01T20:57:21+00:00

I have a friend whose standard is "if she got pregnant, would I be ashamed to tell my friends?"

realChadMagic · 2023-11-02T00:14:57+00:00

Years ago, on a guys trip, we sat at the tailgate with signs that said 0 or 1. Pretty crude, but sparked some great debates

Its_Nappening · 2023-11-02T06:25:43+00:00

The iconic duo, smash or pass.

Kevo-Breker · 2023-11-03T03:36:35+00:00

yes.

get rid of "mid" too.

no such thing.

woman will appreciate this also.

Flaming-Rilk · 2023-11-03T04:35:55+00:00

My scale is:

No

Would pursue

Wouldn’t turn down
