I think my best feature is my eyes. And yes. I actually am bald.

Also yeah give me one of those hardcore Lilith appraisals.

I ain't no Lilith but... you have a baby face that is made weird with the facial hair. I don't know why but it made me a bit uneasy lol. Maybe grow out your beard a little bit more?, it would probably even out your babyness ( i don't mean no disrespect).

 

[Cow Mengde]

I'm still waiting for Lilith or vadrigar's rating. It's more fun cause you never know what they're going to say.

 

[FLAguy954]

Reposting because I wanna hear what Gaffers think (I already got Lilith's rating):

And a bonus pic I posted last year (I don't take many pictures apparently):

Trust me, if I shave it, my baby face makes me look terrible. I grow it out to a point, then I get annoyed by it and shave it down.

 

[Squall5042]

Fair.

I normally have more hair (a few months old)

Please Come to the Gay Side/10

 

[Drumavarium]

I can never really tell how others perceive me, so I am interested to see the results.

 

[marrec]

I swear CountA hasn't aged a day in 4 years.

Also, Bombas still looks like the coolest dude to have a beer with.

 

[ohhthegore]

At least my mom thinks I'm good looking

So what number say you Gaf?

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

My bad. Looking good either way

No worries! Thanks man. I'm commonly mistaken for being gay. I preen often and have a few effeminate mannerisms. I accept that I'm relatively metrosexual.

Alright GAF - don't beat me too hard. I weigh less now than I did in any of these pics so my face has gotten smaller, but I'm still a big boy. And for reference, why Mulan(s hair) is taller than me - I'm 5'4 (1/2!)

Big beard and cat


Me+Mulan


Me throwing horns

4/10. Your height is unfortunate but otherwise you're a fairly decent looking guy. If you were taller, kept the beard full but groomed, and lost a little body fat I'd put you at a 7/10.

Not a fan of the chin hair and haircut: 6/10. You look to be in good shape.

I can never really tell how others perceive me, so I am interested to see the results.

Hairstyle is a little boring. 5/10. You have strong features that are subdued by overall blandness. You could work up to a 7-8/10.

At least my mom thinks I'm good looking

So what number say you Gaf?

8.5/10. In my opinion keep the sides just a little longer. Hair and beard suits you.

I oddly think you look like me...

Movie star smile bro seriously though get a different haircut

 

[Duji]

How does vadrigar rate vadrigar?

 

[CountAntonius]

5/10

Edit-pic was in my google photos account and won't display so you'll have to click the link, sorry.

Would also be interested to see what age you think I am.

 

[Meier]

I need a new hairstyle.

Not gonna rate anyone but this is fucking awesome (saw the fact you won the 1500m) -- congrats dude.

 

[thestopsign]

Fucking lol. That is not a 10. Wtf.

I agree, I am straight, but my first thought was immediately... really?

 

[SolidChamp]

Fuck it. Why not...

 

[Salbug]

Oh, what the hell I'll join in as well. Excuse the messy hair, it's currently 2:00 AM where I'm at anyway.

 

[Finaika]

Here are two recent ones I've come across. Not sure if without makeup (that includes the male lol) but I'll try:

9/10 female:



10/10 male:

Both of them are a 5.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

10/10 male:

loooool that dude is actually ugly. Stupid face and hair. Edit: well he might be decent if he got a beard and better hair, but as of now, I actually laughed at the notion that he's a 10.

 

[Finaika]

loooool that dude is actually ugly. Stupid face and hair.

Yeah he looks stupid.

 

[Salbug]

4/10

That's a lot of 4/10s you're tossing there. 4/4 maybe? ;o

 

[Conor_Fool]

By the looks of it, that's the reaction that everyone is giving you right now. You discredited yourself with that ugly ass 10/10 pic. Sorry not sorry. Oops.

 

[Pifje]

Hahahaha

Serious question: are you 14 years old?

 

[War Peaceman]

It is almost as if ratings are largely subjective. There are few things that are objectively beautiful - symmetry, smile and eye size, but even with these I can think of exceptions that work.

 

[bobawesome]

What do you think is?

He looks like the illegitimate son of Kramer.

 

[War Peaceman]

I really don't think it is cool for vadrigar to rate others without posting their own pic (sorry if I've missed it). I think it is good to give more honest replies rather than telling everybody the mundane "you are beautiful" talk to make someone feel good, but it feels wrong to not post his own and subject him/herself to the same scrutiny.

 

[Sobriquet]

Serious question: are you 14 years old?

He might be: Looks Ratings According To Normal Distribution

 

[thestopsign]

Hahahaha only 7/10 nowhere near 9.

She is a way more attractive female than that 10/10 is for a male.

 

[Sobriquet]

Uhh... what the fuck.

At least we know he has a system

 

[War Peaceman]

At least we know he has a system

I think that's more concerning.

 

[Floridian]

You're all normal human beings.

 

[eot]

Here are two recent ones I've come across. Not sure if without makeup (that includes the male lol) but I'll try:

She's wearing makeup.It's the "people think I'm not wearing makeup" makeup.
Also, I think she's an eight but ratings are so arbitrary.

 

[DrBo42]

I'm more than willing to have a conversation about why you think that, especially in light of getting specific requests.

I'm guessing your resistance comes from one or two places, but please correct me if I'm wrong. There's a notion that 5/10 and below is a failure, probably stemming from how that score on any kind of test would be a failure. But it's not. Look at baseball: a batting average of 3.5/10 is what the best of the best are swinging.

Or look at game review sites where most everything scores in the 7/10–10/10 range. Those are professionally made games, so you would expect them to be above average (mathematical mean, not median). Mediocre and bad games are usually made by novices and low-profile studios, and almost always aren't worth the time of that review site to cover. Expecting large review sites to cover the whole range would be like expecting a modeling agency to hire a random sampling of people, not just the best of the best. There are so many things available to us that we only make time for the best of the best, so we forget that it's okay to be average.

But we do have a fairly random sampling of people here. That's why I'm taking normal distribution and standard deviation into account. A 4/10 isn't a death sentence like it would be on a math test, it just means you're very slightly behind the curve.

The other angle I think you might be approaching from is that it's mean to be honest with people, that you should lie to them to boost their confidence. That the world runs on lies. To a large degree, this is true, but there's also such a thing as tough love. If everyone lies to you that you're the best at something, so you go in and expect your normal behavior to be enough to skate by on, you're in for crushing disappointment and confusion when that doesn't work out. Meanwhile, you could have accepted your weaknesses and focused on your true strengths.

Admittedly, it's hard to point out other strengths besides beauty that people have in just a picture thread, so but that's the nature of the format. Nobody's being forced to participate.

Wasn't about the number, more so the nitpicking of someone's features they have to live with day after day. These threads are usually lighthearted and fun but when you go full critique it comes off a bit callous. But then again based on your response you strike me as a bit difficult to talk to. Programmer?

 

[Übermatik]

In this thread: shock disagreements on what is 'attractive'.

 

[takriel]

Trust me, if I shave it, my baby face makes me look terrible. I grow it out to a point, then I get annoyed by it and shave it down.

How old are you? Chances are you'll soon lose the "baby fat" and start to get nice facial features But yeah, definitely either shave clean or grow a full beard.

This is me while back packing a last summer, I look a bit different than normal there.

Bill Trinen's lost son/10. Would like to see another photo to give you a score.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

23. I think I'm doomed.

 

[takriel]

23. I think I'm doomed.

Nope, definitely not. You already mentioned that you're working out, which is the best thing you can do. Keep at it! The results will come eventually

 

[The Silver]

Uneven eyes and ears, somewhat bulbous nose, weak chin, boring haircut, despondent countenance, bad lighting, and otherwise plain features. 4/10.

And yeah, there's definitely an art to taking selfies. That's part of why people take so many of them.

Criminally plain. No real standout features. Certainly not ugly, but nothing especially handsome or attractive either.

It's a bad picture. The angle, the lighting, the face you're making — none of it is flattering. I can't remember if you've posted any pictures that weren't filtered to death, but this one makes you appear below average in looks.

4 on the left. 3 on the right. Sorry.

OK gaf. Showed only the first 3 pages to a friend, told her to be brutality honest and rate yall from a scale to 1-10. I apologize gaf. Her scale is pretty rough.

Deadly Joker: 3
Discoid: 5
Kyzon: 7
Pixelation: 4
Infinity Patriot: 6.5-7
Arjen: 4-5
Seesaw15: 4
Team Alucard: 6
PigSpeakers: 5
THRILLH0: 5
Transhuman: 4.5
Daveo42: 3
Littletran22: 2.5
SPMH: 7.5
kingwingin: 6
Jpop: 5
RangerX: 4.5
KDash31987: 2
Moggelicious: 3
liliththepale: 4.5
Neoxon: 2
nkenyon: 1.5

Her scale was based on angles and personality coming off of the photos. I personally would've honestly rated everyone higher. :|

 

[Mistle]

This thread has made me realise that for the past few years of my life, there's probably only 1-2 photos per year of me that I know of, and they'd all be rather plain/candid. Future me won't remember what I looked like when 20/21/22!

 

[Maklershed]

At least my mom thinks I'm good looking

So what number say you Gaf?

I seriously hate the fact that I'm bald. I'd love to do this clean cut and buzz look with beard. I can do the beard part at least. Do you trim your neck at all or do you let everything on your face and neck grow? I shave up the neck to the underjaw and worry that when my beard gets big that I look too amish.

 

[Idba]

Reposting because I wanna hear what Gaffers think (I already got Lilith's rating):

You look way better in the second pic.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Val got some of yall salty. Looks are completely subjective. People have different preferences lol.

 

[Uga]

Why not.

Looks are not COMPLETELY subjective. Subjectivity is reserved for the fringes. The core of attraction is pretty objective actually.

Ehh, when you start talking about different races your point falls apart.

 

[kyongwon]

Im not a selfie person

 

[MikeDip]

Why not.

Right on mate, that's a solid 9/10. Specifically that first picture with more of a tan (or better lighting?). I like the face structure a lot.

 

[Sciortino]

Go easy gaf.

 

[SolidChamp]

LOL Looks like my timing on this one was perfect. Pretty funny stuff.
