[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not just in dating, but women are routinely rated as more attractive than men by both men and women.  Teachers rate their girl students as being more attractive than boy students on average.  So...it's not a problem of women rating men.  It's a problem of all people thinking that men are fug.  [/quote]

Again, missing the point. [b]Men are literally rating women fairly. It's literally a bell curve almost centered around 5/10.[/b]

You and many of the other players are stuck on the fact that women are more attractive than men....that's completely missing the point.  That is probably true, but that means the baseline for male looks simply have a different threshold for average.  If women were rating male looks and attractiveness fairly, you too would expect a gaussian distribution around 5/10...which would be the expected mean.  But the mean for men is skewed to about a 1 or 2, which clearly shows women have insane expectations for how to rate male attractiveness.  Comparing male vs female attractiveness completely misses the point.  The main point is how the opposite sexes rate each other.  Men seem to be much more fair and give ratings that should be completely expected by a normal distribution of data from a population. [/quote]

No, because the data was extracted from 5 point scales, 7 point scales, 5 point scales incorrectly assumed to be 7-point scales, binary right/left swipes, all combined and plotted through sheer determination and disregard for anything approaching reproducibility onto an[b] 11 (??) point scale and then back down to 10 points for a chart.[/b]

You are furious over what appear to be the meanderings of a maniac with a point to prove.  If the point was just to rile up guys like you, then I guess the time was well spent.  But if it was to show anything useful about men, women, attractiveness, or correct use of data: not so much.[/quote]

0 to 10 is an 11 point scale. [/quote]
