I give ugly women 10s and hotties 1s just to even things out a bit. :p

You certainly suck at math.


For someone with over 7000 posts, I laugh at you. Know how hotornot scoring works before you apply math. You're funny.

I give everyone 10s. Then again, maybe I should give them all 1s.

"BTW I got a 9 going w/like 600 votes."

Proof or link? I'm not sure I would care to know otherwise!

"What? And give the 9.8 women with their boobs and asses half hanging out more attention?

I think not."


LMAO, Kiyup! :D

Well, this lady sure met that criteria with what she's wearing. That's probably what won her the little 7. It's just she doesn't have the parts to fit the dress.

Speaking of . . . I never trusted "Hot or Not" when I realised how people at forums (AT OT an example) would post a link to a pic and have people give "sympathy" or "blind" votes. It also made me realise how different in taste we all are. I'm always amazed with what folks at AT call very beautiful, hot or ugly versus what I or others I know in real life perceive as such. It seems to me that people search for particular features, for instance boob size, butt size, eye colour, etc. alone and then rate someone solely based on that. Weird . . . but thank God, I don't need validation from people to feel good about my appearance . . . of course compliments or tips from significant people in my life makes a difference. ;)

Oh damn. I didn't know they lifted the vote limit on guys... I'm back in the running now!!! :)

9.9 baby yeah! :D
 

[Jumpr:] "I've got a 9.9. Beat that.

EDIT: 236 votes"


Got link?

[Silverpig:] "For all that haven't figured it out yet:

The score you see is NOT an average of the scores people give. Not at all. It is a rating based on how well you did against other people. A rating of 9.9 means you are hotter (have a better score) than 98% of the other people rated. Thus, this woman, with her now 6.7 is hotter than 66% of the other women rated. Doesn't mean she's a 6.7 on any hotness scale though."


Are you serious? :confused: That explains why many of the people there get the ratings that they have. I actually thought it was mean score/median. It actually is a relative calculation? In other words, it is a percentile? Wow! I see. . . . That's the other source of the scores (low or high) besides forum members who just vote without consideration of the integrity of the scaling system.

Edit: Look above (or below) for edit. ;)

Here's a more natural beauty: A Beautiful Lady. (There's a beautiful lady in my view and with a very natural look.)

Umm why does the guy have a picture within a picture? Is he a former Rogaine participant?

I dont like the pose by the gal in that link I dont know if I would consider her to be beautiful but she is very attractive and pretty. I must be on crack or something but I dont like the picture.

 

I don't mean hotness at all, Storm. LOL! I mean she's beautiful. My definition of beautiful is the face. And it's synonymous with pretty and sometimes with attractive. That's different from hot. Now, she isn't exactly in the outfits for "hotness" but she's beautiful in my view. :D

As for the guy . . . I was wondering too why he has that other pic. Weird. :eek: LOL! :D
