How do you rate looks on 10-scale?

[El Rock]

She's  too much of a  media creation .
I'd give her a  6 ,  on a good day

I would rate Bo Derek as a STRONG 9.5!!!

[viking]

I would still like to know if Lilynewbie is an AW or RW, and from where.

[William3rd]

S(he) is a male living in Utah- I am willing to bet.

As for Bo Derek. A 10 on the outside but unable to articulate more than simple sentences. John Derek did not marry her for her personality or her intelligence

[catzenmouse]

LillyNewbie,

 I hope that you take this as the good natured fun that it is. Please tell us about yourself. You are from Moscow? We have a few members from there.

I think not.  I know a Fat Yuri when I see it. 

Now what makes you think this poster is a dude?

[El Rock]

Bo , along with that black guy from Miami  Vice  from the 1970's , both look like burn victims.
Michael Philups ? Was that  his name ??

[Lily]

Pike, Photo Guy - great comments, right to the point, thanks!

viking, I am Russian and my location is in profile. Would my nationality / location really influence the replies to the question in any way? 

catzenmouse, (a cute nick btw  ) thank you, will do it soon.
and even more thanks to GregfromGa 

Maxx, given the post #21 on: Yesterday at 07:50:02 PM  I feel I have to comment how I understand your joke. Dictionnary says, clydesdales are sort of heavy horses. So I just imagined a view of 4 or 6 strong horses pushing Maxx away from a woman  , that's it. Not sure about the budweiser scale, though, but it seems that this may be some trade mark of budweiser connected with your joke. Did I misunderstood the joke Maxx?

[funkola]

Does anyone else see this as suspicious?

[Jazzyclassy]

I do not know I do not think it is suspicious , I  think she is  practicing english here ahahhah

and of course searching ... definitely she is searching .....
very pretty girl by the way:)  ,

You guys who are  single might  charm her sometime:)) why not:P

[Jazzyclassy]

and of course welcome Lily:)

you will have so much fun here and will enjoy people

it is great site!

[Lily]

Any unusual physical features would probably lower the score.
For example, a huge nose or ultra short neck, etc.
Nice 'proportions' usually raise the score.     -doug

Ok, some features would influence the score, for sure.

Interestingly, how about the person's age? Would it rather make the score lower (youth is beautiful) or rather higher (he/she must have good genes and work hard)?

How would you rate the today's  look of Sophia Loren, for instance ?

P.S. Thanks Jazzyclassy! your waistline looks amazing, I have to say.

[viking]

Sophia will always be a 10 in my book. A truly beautiful woman. And some women age better than others. Just like men. 

[GregfromGa]

Lily dont let all this unnecessary paranoia about your reality scare you away. I think you are real and the beautiful face on your avitar is as close as some guys on here will ever get to corresponding to a Russian/Ukrainian girl anyway.

[Lily]

Lily dont let all this unnecessary paranoia about your reality scare you away.   

I symphatize with some guys on this forum, yes

Sophia will always be a 10 in my book. A truly beautiful woman. And some women age better than others. Just like men. 

Totally agree with you viking. Once in a Russian forum I read a few sad comments on the recent Sophia's photo calendar. Some guys told that it was a shame to let such an old woman to be a photomodel, despite her previous years of beauty... that her time is over and that the photos should promote more younger girls....

As far as the question of being a 10 and age.

The 10 rating is not an exact thing like height or weight.   A women who weighs 55 kg is going to weigh that who ever looks at her.   We talked about Bo Derek.  Some see her as a 10, some as a 5.  I would give her an 8 myself.

I think the 10 rating may also vary according to the age and intentions of the person looking.  An older person looking for a woman who was say 50 might meet someone they consider a 10 for them.  Perhaps a 20 year old may not think that person is even a 5. 

Some women such as Sofia and Joan Collins hold their beauty.  That is good.  Perhaps a younger person could still rate them very high. 

Budweiser is a very popular brand of beer in America.   The Clydesdale's are used in much of their advertising to create a distinct advertising program.   

Funkola,  for a jury to decide a case before they have heard the evidence is pure speculation.   It does not matter to me one way or the other but there is nothing I need to judge at the moment anyway. 

[William3rd]

Yep- I think Tubbs was played by Michael Philups. I always liked Lt. Castillo. . . .

[El Rock]

Yep- I think Tubbs was played by Michael Philups. I always liked Lt. Castillo. . . .

Who was Castillo?
Was he the Hispanic  looking dude  , not just looking , he was .
Was he the guy that was active in  helping  children   , underprivileged , do better in life .
That show goes  back toooooo   far for me .

I use the binary number system..

Either she is visually appealing or not.

Simple as that.

Well , at lease you have a system
 

[William3rd]

Lt. Castillo got promoted. He is Admiral Adama now. . . .

When you are in NY, we just gotta share a few. Anyone who remembers this stuff.....

Lily

No. A persons place of birth has no bearing on my view of them. If that is your photo you are a good looking woman.

Actually there is no such scale.The original idea was to call a perfect something (which can be a woman) 10.
The reason for this idea was that number 10 is called a perfect number.
All the sub-grading into 5,6 etc is totally arbitrary.
"Perfect numbers" have been distinguished ever since the ancient Greeks called them "teleioi." There was, however, no consensus among the Greeks as to which numbers were "perfect" or why. A view that was shared by Plato held that a perfect number was 10. Mathematicians, including the mathematician-philosopher Pythagoreans, proposed as a perfect number, the number 6.

The number 10 was thought perfect because there are 10 fingers to the two hands. The number 6 was believed perfect for being divisible in a special way: a sixth part of that number constitutes unity; a third is two; a half — three; two-thirds (Greek: dimoiron) is four; five-sixths (pentamoiron) is five; six is the perfect whole. The ancients also considered 6 a perfect number because the human foot constituted one-sixth the height of a man, hence the number 6 determined the height of the human body.

Thus both numbers, 6 and 10, were credited with perfection, both on purely mathematical grounds and on grounds of their relevance in nature.

So many different numbers can be used to score a perfect woman but 10 has become by far the most prevalent and accepted.

In ancient Greece, Helen of Troy, the instigator of the Trojan War, was the paragon of beauty, exuding a physical brilliance that would put Cindy Crawford to shame. Indeed, she was the toast of Athens, celebrated not for her kindness or her intellect, but for her physical perfection. But why did the Greek men find Helen, and other beautiful women, so intoxicating?
In an attempt to answer this question, the philosophers of the day devoted a great deal of time to this conundrum. Plato wrote of so-called "golden proportions," in which, amongst other things, the width of an ideal face would be two-thirds its length, while a nose would be no longer than the distance between the eyes. Plato's golden proportions, however, haven't quite held up to the rigors of modern psychological and biological research -- though there is credence in the ancient Greeks' attempts to determine a fundamental symmetry that humans find attractive.

Today, this symmetry has been scientifically pr oven to be inherently attractive to the human eye. It has been defined not with proportions, but rather with similarity between the left and right sides of the face Thus, the Greeks were only partially correct.

By applying the stringent conditions of the scientific method, researchers now believe symmetry is the answer the Greeks were looking for.

Babies spend more time staring at pictures of symmetric individuals than they do at photos of asymmetric ones. Moreover, when several faces are averaged to create a composite -- thus covering up the asymmetries that any one individual may have -- a panel of judges deemed the composite more attractive than the individual pictures.

Victor Johnston of New Mexico State University, for example, utilizes a program called FacePrints, which shows viewers facial images of variable attractiveness. The viewers then rate the pictures on a beauty scale from one to nine. In what is akin to digital Darwinism, the pictures with the best ratings are merged together, while the less attractive photos are weeded out. Each trial ends when a viewer deems the composite a 10. All the perfect 10s are super-symmetric.

Scientists say that the preference for symmetry is a highly evolved trait seen in many different animals. Female swallows, for example, prefer males with longer and more symmetric tails, while female zebra finches mate with males with symmetrically colored leg bands.

However, John Manning of the University of Liverpool in England cautions against over-generalization, especially by Western scientists. "Darwin thought that there were few universals of physical beauty because there was much variance in appearance and preference across human groups," Manning explained. For example, Chinese men used to prefer women with small feet. In Shakespearean England, ankles were the rage. In some African tribal cultures, men like women who insert large discs in their lips.

Indeed, "we need more cross-cultural studies to show that what is true in Westernized societies is also true in traditional groups," Manning said his 1999 article.

Aside from symmetry, males in Western cultures generally prefer females with a small jaw, a small nose, large eyes, and defined cheekbones - features often described as "baby faced", that resemble an infant's. Females, however, have a preference for males who look more mature -- generally heart-shaped, small-chinned faces with full lips and fair skin. But during menstruation, females prefer a soft-featured male to a masculine one. Indeed, researchers found that female perceptions of beauty actually change throughout the month.

Thanks Mir for your intellectual response.  An interesting read.  :-))

Mir, I think it would be more correct if you acknowledged your sources, when you make your scholarly posts :
