4/10 by European standards, +1 to 1.5 points from fifteen months of lifting and bro dieting gets me to 5 or 6/10. Overall I suppose I gotta be happy with that. Lifting was a good decision, I recommend
In line with my namesake I have taken about 30 minutes to write down all of the (serious) responses in an excel file and found the mean, median and mode so far in this thread. For the ones where people gave a range I averaged, for the ones with/without makeup I averaged (but for the ones that were like '1/10 without 6/10 with' I would just go with 6 because there are limits to modern science and cosmetics can't possibly be that effective).
Turns out people on average aren't being overly critical of their appearances (assuming the mean appearance on TSR actually is 5 and we're not all abnormally attractive).
Mean: 5.6 Median: 6 Mode: 6
There were a lot of 6/10s going on (15% of all responses to be precise).
Someone pointed out earlier on that attractiveness is going to be normally distributed, just like most physical qualities, so somebody that is genuinely 8/10 would probably be a supermodel, just as someone who is genuinely 2/10 would probably have a severe physical deformity. In that respect the variance reported here was ginormous compared to what an actual normal distribution would look like, which probably means that there is a lot of overblowing on either side of average.
That would only work if everyone on tsr posted, you don't take into account the incentive of the poster.
I do feel like doing something a bit more statistically rigorous but I do sort of have an econometrics module I'm avoiding revision for...
I've always thought of the scale as being normally distributed with a standard deviation of two and a median of five. Plugged that into my graphical calculator and the percentages of the population at each number seem about right also.
I was just giving an honest opinion on myself, I've really struggled with my weight, appearance and the knock-on effects of that, so I'm flattered that you think that, but I'm also not going to lie about how I feel
Since we are giving ourselves numbers once again, and others are giving us numbers, I am going to give you a number.
I personally find you to be stunning, both emotionally and mentally. Scrap all of your issues and worries from the past, because you're burning through brighter than ever before! For this reason, and others, I am going to give you a solid 10. You're beautiful. I'm in a moodlifting mood, so compliments for people I like.
That being said, everyone is. If only people saw their own beauty. Shame I lack any and all, for myself. 1/10 for me!
