If the picture is accurate. Damn, that's something, that girl's tush...

i participate with much greater frequency on a message board with a review system totally unlike TER's. the reviews are posted on interactive threads and posters can say whatever they want to say; they're not forced into the box of numerical ratings. oddly enough, i would venture to guess that fewer than 10% of the reviews in my particular review thread contain numerical ratings; and even for other ladies, though i don't generally make a habit of obsessively reading others' reviews, i'd say the number of those reviews that contain numerical ratings is fewer than 20% (maybe a little more for agency girls).
of course, beauty being 100% subjective -- and one's impression of a person's beauty being fluid, at that; the very physical beauty of a person altered by what they experience with them, and what lies beneath their fragile shell of flesh that may enhance or detract from a person's beauty -- and certain preferences being impressed upon us by the media, there will ALWAYS be people who are not satisfied by the numerical ratings habitually given by others. that's just the way it is and always will be. frankly, i don't have a very rigid 'type' and find women of most body types and ethnicities appealing, and i love all sorts of odd little quirks -- i'm sure that if i were a hobbyist, i would INFURIATE people with the scores i would give, because i interpret beauty itself differently than most.
still, the 'numbers' are clearly forced upon us here - and they all get mixed up because an interactive experience with a human being will inevitably be multi-dimensional (depending on the people involved). i really don't think it's as easy as some would surmise to put a whole human being into such a small box.
for some, it's easy. for most, i don't think it's quite so easy. let the flames lick me -- but frankly, i think this is a GOOD thing. we're all human beings and as such SHOULD have human fallibility.
