  If you use a gaussian scale, people rated 4 to 6 would look average. But for the school systems of many countries 4/10 means failure, while an average student will have a 7. I think that that's part of the reason why people rate themselves so "highly".

  Since I’ve learnt more about facial aesthetics from this channel I’ve become way more critical when evaluating faces and realise it’s super rare to actually see someone who would be in the 8-10 range. In a weird way you sort of appreciate it more when you do see it.

  I don't think there's an oversaturation of good looking people on social media.  I think a lot of people just use filters and photoshop.

  in school, 5/10 is failing and 7/10 is just passing. i think thats why people rate themselves a 7 if they think they are ok looking

  I think a logical way to self asses one's own attractiveness is to just assume your a 5 out 10 until evidence proves otherwise. That evidence being, your interactions with other people, especially with the opposite sex. Statistically most of us are average. And theres nothing wrong with that.

  I prefer the 1-3 scale to describe how attractive I see someone. 1. "unattractive". 2. Alright looking 3. Girls I think are cute. I can't really rank people objectively.

  Beauty is used as a currency; jealous people are competitive and resentful. Being focused on the material world is going to lead to misery.

  There is a distinction between recognizing that someone is attractive, and actually being attracted to them personally

  Quoves showed all these clips of Americans but then ignored a big factor… In the USA we have been raised in to think 7 is passing but not above average. So when these Americans give themselves a 7 they are saying that they are “passing” or average. I bet if you asked them a letter grade for their looks most would say C or B.<br><br>A 90–100% 4.0<br>B 80–89% &nbsp;3.0<br>C 70–79% &nbsp;2.0<br>D 60–69% &nbsp;1.0<br>F 0–59% &nbsp;0.0

  One thing that is left out completely in this video is age. Do you judge yourself only compared to your own age group? Or against all age groups? Changes the results significantly.

  I’m personally just appalled at how easy people are willing to rate strangers on social media for everyone to see without taking the other person’s feeling in consideration. I just wouldn’t be able to do that. Same with rating myself. It’s just horrible.

  Rating people based on attractiveness kinda has no point and is superficial but we live in a superficial world generally and I understand where it comes from.With good posture and good hygiene, clothes anyone can look at least decent I would say.
