Well I would give that chick that played the mom on "Don't throw momma from the train? a 1, so there is the other end of the spectrum, lol.
As for your question, dunno.
Well, I think it depends on evryone's individual preference.
i think everyone is a 10........everyone is beautiful.....n sexy n their own way
I don't like the 1-10 scale. In an American advertising standard, a 10 is a 5'9''-6' female with varying measurements for different modeling assignments. Proportionate limbs, passable to pretty face. Keep in mind famous beauties such as Cindy Crawford were told "MAYBE you'll work" but freakishly skinny chicks get runway assignments all the time.
I have heard of models and actresses suffering mental breakdowns from cattle call audtions and competition.
It also took years to alter the standard of "beautiful" being blonde and blue-eyed.
I know I'm ranting but I feel the world is missing out when one look is considered "it."
I prefer either a 1-100 system, or the one that my buddy and I use, which is "how much would I pay to sleep with her."
In the former, hunchbacks/grotesquely deformed/etc would fall into the 1-10 range. Pam Anderson/Carmen Electra would be 100. The rest fall between there.
Figures a guy would use a system that has to do with their LITTLE HEAD... lol...
I dunno - I get guys tell me Im a 10 or a barbie or "perfect" then get others tell me Im ugly, fake, etc.... who knows... different strokes for different folks...
We'll "never really know" since it's all based on opinion.
There are no 10s; if there were, we'd have to stop looking because we'd have found the pinnacle of beauty. Since that isn't possible--they're cranking out hot new chicks all the time--one can't seriously allocate the top end of the spectrum to a woman without preusming that there are no others that approach her level of comeliness either now or in the future.
So, there are no 10s.
As for the rest of the scale, it basically breaks down into well below average (1-3), below average (3-5), average (5), above average (5-7), well above average (7-9).
Audrey, you are positively as perfect as I have ever seen! AND you can dance! WTF do these guys want? To see you ascend to heaven? Sheesh!Quote:

The other numbers have some sort of objectivity based on the person.
8's and 9's are above average looking women and are considered overly pretty. Of course the more high maintenance these women are the more attractive they will seem.
A 7 is has a more natural looking face. She is not ugly, but a little more plain looking. Many 7's can be improved to 8's with proper makeup application, nails done, and more high maintenance dressing such as wearing heels with her jeans.
5's and 6's usually are plain looking, maybe have a unkept body, and are not into their appearance.
Below that is just plain ugly for a variety of reasons.
In a nutshell, 7's have potential to be cuter (maybe 8's to 8.5's) if they become more high maintenace in their dressing, hairstyles and makeup applications.
8's and 9's and very good looking women. 10's are exceptional.
If a club has all 7's to 10's, the women there are well above average.
I think only a rare dancer falls below a 5 or 6. Anything below that is butt ugly.
If you go by the standards that they say humans have by nature, then Cleopatra was a 10. So was Elizabeth Taylor. I think the show on Discovery was called Survival Of The Prettiest. It went into how humans seek out specific markers as far as looks go...
*shrugs*
I was called a 10 once. Once. But hey, I dont sweat it. I'm a 7 to myself, and what I think is what counts to me. I'm a 5 to the blonde lovers and the boob guys, and a 9 to the ass men. As long as I can still make money, I dont care. :D
the original 'SCORES SCALE' actually stemmed from the original hiring standards of SCORES versus various other clubs in Manhattan, versus clubs in Queens/Bronx. Today it has become very subjective, as even the original SCORES club has changed hiring standards vs 10 years ago.
I agree - this is a really good question and really tied up with what we do as entertainers. At the end of the day as we all know, if we ain't got the looks - no matter how good a dancer or performer we are - we don't earn the $.
I tend to think of 10's as the "mainstream" western concept of what is considered beautiful - we've all got an idea of that as the above posts suggest. I actually think as I am NOT a 10 - my appeal as an entertainer lies in that fact alone. I'm different - not the classic model looking guy. And as Paige said, if I'm pulling in the bucks, I don't care.
Angelina Jolie is a Ten. (haha, see the avatar. I love her!) I'd consider myself a borderline 7/8 by Tina's definition- pretty, but not show stopping spectacular. I agree, that's what make up and upkeep are all about, but there are those rare birds that just glow. Objectively, they are exceptional. Those are the 9-10s. (by the by, the history books I read mentioned that Cleopatra was actually ugly, but her power and sex appeal were unprecedented in how she blended them...or something. I do love the Shakespeare/ Plutarch version of her though- the "infinite variety")
I think Angelina Jolie is VERY SEXY!!!!I wouldn't say dropdead goregeous! Thats just my opinion on her. I think a 10 would be VERY hard to define! Only because a 10 can be anything from exotic looking to a barbie type! To me Pam Anderson is SEXY and that's where it stops! She looks old and worn without makeup!I'm sure alot of men would dissagree with me! Marilyn Monroe to me was gorgeous and sexy!Men may not agree if they dislike REAL curves on a woman!!! Monica Bellucci(sp?)gorgeous and sexy!Halle Berry goregeous and sexy(didn't she have a nose job?)I'd bet someone told her years ago "if you just get your nose done you'd be a perfect 10". Also a young Janice Dickenson gorgeous and sexy! These women are all 10s to me!
It's impossible to say because everybody has different tastes. A guy who prefers very thin blondes might rate Paris Hilton a 10 and give J. Lo a 5, while a guy who likes curvy brunettes with big butts might give J. Lo a 10 and Paris a 5.
That was very sweet. I think so too..I think all girls are unique and each one of us has our good qualities. It is only up to us to judge ourselves for our 'bad'. Everyone else..i think...can stfu }:D I rarely listen to what other people think of me anymore, because their opinions are based on furthering their self image and boosting THEIR ego...(especially bad comments) and sometimes, we can be quiteQuote:

A custy once said to me, "Wow, you're totally an 8. You'd be a 10 if you got your boobs done!" I had been mildly considering implants for a little while so after hearing that I was immediately thinking, "OMG, I could be perfect! I'm so getting them done!" Two of my regulars (a bi/gay male couple) heard this comment and told me, "Just because that guy thinks you'd be a 10, the next guy might not. Leave your breasts alone; if you're not already a 10 to yourself, getting them done won't help, you'll just find another problem to focus on."
Needless to say, my boobs are still small. As a bigger/muscular girl, it's a little funny looking, but I like it. Do I think I'm a 10? No. I think I'm a 7 or 8. Am I happy anyway? Yes.
^^^ what I always found puzzling about hotornot, are the people who obviously are NOT, yet upload their pictures to be voted upon... why would you want to have all these people rate you a 1, 2 or a 3? Are these folks just deluded, thinking that they will be judged hot, or is there some other explanation? I don't get it.
