And you wouldn't need to take your cattle prod with you this time. Speak for yourself. Your ratings are useless.

OK, did some research for this. I deliberately picked a 7, because 7 seems to be right where people believe is, so/so or "average" looks. 6 and below people seem to think is unattractive. 8 and above seems to rate as good looking to gorgeous.  
   
 Let's play a game!  
   
 Imagine what you think is a seven and then click the link.  
   
 Answer these two questions:  
   
 Is your seven better it worse than this seven?  
   
 What numerical score would you rate her? Why?  
   
 ------------------------------------------------------  
   
 Hopefully all the different answers will serve to illustrate why too much importance goes to these silly looks ratings. Please note I selected this picture because she chose to rate herself and all these votes cast seem to come up with an average score of seven.

So right out of the gate you are giving out inaccurate information. Seems nothing ever changes with you. They didn't give her an average score of 7 Tiddles. Get it right if you are going to start a thread.

She's a tenative 8-8.5 IRL for me. But I'd have to get a look at her tits and ass up close first. And I know all of my time would be OTC but only if she's buying me beer and dinner! That's how I roll.

This subject has been beaten to death over the years.

Your reviews are a huge part of the score inflation...now you're just realizing how ridiculous your scores are?

As Panthera posted...you give out anyone breathing a 10.  Certainly isn't complimentary to the gals you've reviewed....and worthless to anyone trying to make a decision on what a gal may really appear as.

But you're far from alone on this...no shortage of legally blind dudes in this game.

Simply trying to "score" how some dude with higher standards compares to one who is thrilled any woman will take her clothes off creates these asinine scores here on TER.

I still get a kick out of some of the posters here who have made suggestions to modify the scores with tenths of a percentage point.  Yeah...that'll make things much easier  LOL

For different reasons than Panthera perhaps...but nevertheless I don't show mine.

I will tell you that of the gals I reviewed only 3 out of 100 or so got a 10 in looks from me.  A tad high still relative to the real world...but it is what it is  LOL

I guess if I included all the gals I've met who are on TER that would be 3 out of hundreds.  Closer to what I would expect in the real world.

There are literally hundreds of those already on there asking the same things.

The numbers are what they are...some gals have learned that they can manipulate the system and get higher rates due to the Top 100 listing.

Try and get 2 guys to agree on what a 10 is and we can maybe have something to work with.  Try and get hundreds of thousands of Inet dudes to agree...and we can solve the energy crisis and defeat cancer  LOL

Maybe start your own board and YOU can decide scores on behalf of any reviewers?  See....problem solved.

Maybe the numbers should go so we can just experience this world for what it is, minus the pressure of giving ratings.

What pressure?   Nobodies going to kick you off ter for not giving the proper score. I may not agree with your score and you may not agree with mine. That's why we read the reviews and go through back channels when deciding who we want to see.

If so...that's pretty damned low.  She's a solid 9/10 on the TER scale....higher for many of the blind dudes here who would try and argue for a 12 or higher  ;)

But I'd be happy to go for lunch with her as well...OTC of course.  Because that's how "we" all roll...don't "we"?

Do you think she cooks too?

...her average is 7.8 which is close to 8 than 7.  

Secondly, how does this "illustrate why too much importance goes to these silly looks ratings"?  

I think most of us use the scores as a guide and don't put a lot of significance on the absolute number. It is pretty easy to check a reviewers pattern and calibrate to your own scale. I know I can and do.  All I'm really looking for is some confirmation that her pictures are accurate, recent and in the case she blurs her face, that it's for privacy reasons and not because she's unattractive.  

Seems to me you're the one putting too much importance on this.  Of course you're not alone, as the good Doctor noted, this has been beat to death over the years.

But she's rated as a 7.8 on that site, not a 7 - so much closer to an 8.
Also, that is just a pure rating site, where everyone is free to rate from 1 to 10.  So RELATIVELY speaking there will be many more people who give low scores there than here on TER (no adverse consequence to doing so).  WE are rating REAL people who we've actually met, not a photo image.  For the most part, guys are a little generous here, because they don't want to be complete dicks and use the full 1 to 10 scale and give 4s, 5s, and 6s for the middle-of-the curve ladies.  So it's only natural considering what TER is all about (and that guys are rating ladies who they found attractive enough in the first place to fork over their hard earned $ to) that most appearance scores are clustered in the 7-10 range.  If you were to take all the ladies rated on that site, I'm sure the score for the girl you linked to would be on the high-side relative to most others there, just like her rank would be if she was a provider here on TER.

So while its easy to criticize scores, I'd hazard to guess that if all the TER ladies had their photo's shown in rank order by score, it would be a lot more "right" than "wrong" in most guys' eyes.  We all will disagree with some individual ladies' ranking because of individual taste, but I'm sure by-and-large we'd agree with the larger groupings.  By this I mean, we would mostly agree that of ladies with lots of reviews, those in the 9.5-10 range are generally a little better looking than the group in the 9.0-9.49 range, who themselves are on average a little better looking than those in the 8.5-8.99 range, who themselves are a little better looking..., etc., etc.

Or look at it this way.  If you were being set up on a blind TER date with your date coming from a pool of 100 ladies - and you had the option of a random selection or picking any appearance score - would you not say, I'll go with a 10?  I can't imagine many guys would say "appearance ratings have no meaning" I'll go with a random choice.  EVEN IF you were told all 100 were rated in the 8 to 10 range (so all at least attractive) - I still think almost all guys would say, I'll go with a 10.

These scores are what they are - the collective opinion of every guy who has chosen to review.  So that is EXACTLY what they represent.

Now in reality, because we get to look at photos, appearance scores don't matter as much, because you can choose a lady who looks great TO YOU, and then simply confirm from her reviews that her photos are an accurate representation of her current appearanve.

This stuff isn't rocket science.

So what's the point?
As for me, I agree the numbers are bullshit. And people have different ways of scoring. GaG and I have sat at many bars and rated the hookers who walked by. We generally differ by about two points , so allowances must be made. But at least I know if GaG gives her a 7 I will like her.  What that tells me is its good to have back channel friends. Got any?

How would you know what generation I'm from?  That just weird and creepy.

As well I did notice that the posters on the +60 board use the word Internet.  Maybe you're confused again?

Its not hip, cool, or jive (your generation lingo) to say Inet. Lol  
   
 Sorry for the knee slapper (your generation), just making a joke, I hope you get that OTC time your always bragging about, but at least take her to a shindig (your generation)

in the absence of photos (hypothetically), I would have no problem using appearance scores as the next best way to judge this (but would ask other guys about her body type, etc.).

Definitely would not throw her out of bed.  OTOH, she lacks any real "Wow" factor.  Nothing really alluring; no hint of mystery; no "I'll fuck you so hard you'll be begging me to stop"-feeling.

Just kind of a blandly beautiful cheerleader.

and as I am sure Inicky will agree after seeing how I grade, that 7 is most likely exactly what she would rate on the GaGa scale, Maybe more like a 6 1/2 as pictured, but I can also imagine her as a 7 1/2 in a glam shot. Which would make her an Aldo 9, or a TER 10, or a Tidwit 12. lol

Yeah, these numbers ratings sure mean a lot don't they. If this girl was a provider, all I would want to know about her looks is "are the pics accurate" and then if there were no performance or attitude issues she could quite possibly go on my "to do" list, but she would hardly be at the top of that list.

i have been known to pick 7's in the looks dept. because as long as they ain't fugly I will throw the bone for the right price.

Actually a 7 is what I call "cute" without being drop dead gorgeous 9-10.

Looks scores are so subjective that it's laughable.  

If you see a pic you like and she's got an ad up for the price you want, then go for it!

Going to a rating site is simply masturbatory bullshit IMHO.  

The picture of the gal in the link was someone who IRL with a great personality, cooking skills and a high sex drive /skills would be not only already married but have had a few kids by the time I met her.  Otherwise she's got something wrong with her.  Either she's picky about men, or she's BSC or something.  The good ones always get picked up early.

I think she's very good looking. I went through a couple of dozen photos on that site, and rated just a couple above 7. Lots of 4's and 5's.

While ratings for looks is, by definition, subjective, it is far from worthless.  Is is absolute?  No, and it doesn't need to be.  BUT if one person is rated as a 4 by a reasonable number of people and another is rated as an 9... I think it's safe to presume that the 9 is far more attractive.  Since so many faces are blurred, this becomes important.  Sure, upon arrival one might decide that this person is a 7 or 8 to them, but they are still likely far more attractive than the 4.  It's not perfect, but it's at least relative.
