TER should change the appearance rating system to milihelens.

Sounds interesting.  Do you happen to have any pictures of Helen so as to have a baseline?  I just am curious what a 1000 ship face looks like.

...OK, maybe it's not a real photo of Helen 'cuz they hadn't invented bikinis back then but I'm guessing she was probably at least this beautiful!
Even if TER doesn't adopt your rating idea, I think it would be nice if we could award 1/2 points for appearance scores from 7 up to 10. Sometimes one might dither whether to give a lady an 8 or a 9 so an 8.5 would do the trick.

I think it's funny if someone gives me a 5 when whilst I'm walking around downtown or somewhere I have to wear a full hijab in order to stop the sexual harassment I get.  
Look scores can KMA.  
Imo most of the guys I'm surrounded by have very warped sense of what real beauty is anyway. I think the 0-10 system is fine as it is.

All I know is Portia can launch my ship anytime she likes!!

...the entire thread like has happened to other threads recently.

But Kate Upton on the other hand could probably get the entire US Navy to go wherever she wants!

....seriously proposing this as a new rating system, but only trying to lighten the board's mood a little.

Can't disagree about Kate, but Queen Latifah, at her best, was smart, sexy, great looking, 5'10" and built for pleasure! (Agreed, at her worst, not so much.)

A picture can be cruel or kind.  

.....she's actually very pretty. Again cleans up very nicely at risk of repeating myself lol.

...I would guess she's the type of person that you just can't help liking if you met her in person.

I prefer the Budweiser system--- How many Clydesdales does it take to pull er off my face once I get started!!

... to bother with the US Navy!  Anyway, while I agree Kate is right up there in HoT (Helen of Troy... hmm, what a coincidence!) territory, IMO we have several local providers I'd put above Kate in that proposed 1000-point scale.  I won't name any names as this isn't Friday.  

If one could quantify attraction, we'd all be matched up by now.  "So and so is / is not attractive" is not a factual statement.  It is an opinion.

Queen Latifah status as a lesbian is fairly well-known. Therefore, unless she has some latent bi-sexual tendencies, it would be difficult for a member of the male species to "do her".

Why do you think there is so much AGREEMENT regarding the attractiveness of some women?  And as between the two, the objective factors are almost always stronger.

...that starry eyed people, those with sunny dispositions and space cases were excluded from the study?

LOL and oops!

I should be more careful when I cut and paste.

(I guess, technically, I should have quoted, "No make-up or cosm[et]ic enhancements of any kind were allowed," or maybe "No make-up or [cosmetic] enhancements of any kind were allowed.")

Since I'm a closet grammar Nazi, I should have known better!

If you give a woman a 10, and then give several others the same top rating, by definition they are no longer "Once in a Lifetime". I like the larger scale idea.
