30 People Rate Their Own Attractiveness From 1 - 10 | Social Experiment

[@Ididnahthither]

It's very interesting how people see it as an insult to be considered averagely attractive and think it's humble to call yourself a 7 or even higher.

[@user-ux7ut5jr1c]

Real People are delusional Especially women can't accept reality about their looks But hey if it makes them feel better about themselves who cares I guess

[@lockiet7227]

It is just delusional tbh. The vast majority of us are in the middle area of the bell curve within many aspects of our lives, attractiveness, skills, personality, profession, etc...WIth the most basic understanding of statistics, unless you're really sure, putting yourself within that 4-6 range has like 80% of being objectively correct

[@thelonercoder5816]

Yep. I'm someone who has literally been told several times that I "could model" by women and still only think i'm a 6/10. I can't imagine how guys who are less attractive than me who don't get these types of compliments could possibly think they're 7+/10. Same for women lol.

[@AdamLighter1]

If you were told you could model, then you are definitely not a 6 and are very likely to be higher than 7.5, probably pushing 9. So you may be delusional but in the opposite sense, that you lower your attractiveness.@@thelonercoder5816

People's perception of a "5" is so low despite it being bang on average. If asked a little differently, I feel like most folks who call themselves a 7 would agree they're realistically only "average"

[@user-ux7ut5jr1c]

Would be interesting to see a test like that But considering how many women literally rate themselves 10/10 perfection I think the results wouldn't be that different

[@ShadowJinxXOX]

It’s probably because of people viewing the spectrum as if it’s a grade, in which 70% is equated as a C and treated as a decently average score, whereas anything below that is failing. Therefore, 6 and below is terrible, and 7 is average

[@jones2277]

A 7 is when you have average looks but you make an effort.

[@TJ-fu5kr]

@@ShadowJinxXOX agree with this. Our mind goes back to school in which a 50% is terrible but a 70% is just about adequate.

[@Ufhhh12]

@@ShadowJinxXOX its because people usually dont want to classify them selves as average, its called the "above-average effect" if you ask people their driving skills, looks etc most of them will claim they are above average.

[@ayala0023]

the issue is the people are answering a different question than what they're being asked. they're being asked "where do you think you statistically belong on a scale from 0 to 10" and they're answering "how do you feel about your body image on a scale from 0 to 10" basically there is a validity issue in your sociological research because you are measuring something else than what you think you are. the research is, in my opinion, invalid. maybe the findings could be used to explore how people mix up the two

[@CaptainPanick]

I completely agree. The question specifically asks how they rate their *looks* on a scale from 1 to 10 (at 0:23), not how confident or attractive they see themselves. I think they should have clarified the question or they should have guided the subjects beforehand. They could also ask a follow-up question on how they view their overall attractiveness. The way this was handled makes the results pretty useless and shows how easy it is to miss the obvious problems in such a survey.

[@beddythecorgi4269]

​​@@CRM-114that's the problem. A 5 is not ugly. 5 is average. Below 2 is ugly. Below 5 is just off average. For example being 15 lbs overweight makes a 5 turn into a 4. Being a 5 but not fixing orthodontics or having unkempt hair turns them into a 4. Being a 5 but having a great six pack or yoga fitness level turns a 5 to a 6. People clearly don't understand what average means. 0 is Quasimodo and 10 is like reputable model agency picks you out of a crown and offers you a contract.

Interesting how often 7 is said, for most people it seems as if 7 perfectly encapsules "I look good but not perfect" which I believe is a really common thought most people have regarding their looks. It does not make any sense mathematically for everybody to be a 7, but it all falls down on how you define "good but not perfect". Everybody wants to be above average as well, which might contribute to the trend towards 7.

These people rating themselves a 7 is pretty fair though if you consider a huge percentage of the population is over 40 and obese.

[@swissarmykn1fe]

Huge issue with this social experiment being how the question was asked - the fact that so many of them are bringing up confidence and personal anecdotes shows that they’re not trying to rate themselves realistically in a logical distribution. They’re answering about how they feel about themselves, which is a totally different question than “how attractive do you think you are objectively respective to the rest of the world”

[@sweetxjc]

Yeah, but if you’re attract a lot of people regardless of the “objective” standard. You are attractive so the rating is right. Also there really isn’t an objective standard it’s influenced a lot by culture, your personal age, what other people say, social media, and trends.

[@nicelypenn]

@@sweetxjc If there was no objective standard, then there would not be a tendency of models to have similar features. All models are tall. All models are lean. All models have sharp eyes and defined jaws. All models have decent hairlines. All models have very clear skin. All models have well-sized lips. All models have good jaw projection. Moreover, these things are on a scale themselves. As in they're normally distributed, so the degree to which you fall into the upper percentiles indicates the degree to which you are model-tier looking. Models are in the 99th percentile for every one of those features. People who are average either are average in all those aspects or they're in the upper percentiles for some features and in the lower percentile for others. Most of the people in the video had some decent qualities but also had major flaws that would make them lean more toward average. Other people were below average. E.g. no person with a recessed jaw is ever going to be at or above a 5. Also, a lot of them were fat. So, that drops you down by 1 to 2 points by default.

I think you need to keep in mind that there's a vast difference between how people actually perceive themselves, and what they'll say if asked. Many of them are giving an answer that will "save face" because they feel like attraction equates value, hence giving yourself a "bad" grade would reflect poorly on your worth and your perceived self-confidence. Also, the question needs to be precise : "how do you think others would rate you" will not get the same answer as "how do you rate yourself". You can literally see these people answering based on their self-confidence, personnality, ego etc instead of social standards for beauty.

Hi Qoves Studio, I remember you once quoted a study that said people are more honest (realistic) about where they stand on the 1-10 when next to someone who truly has a high sexual market value (SMV). With that in mind, if you did another video like this, would you consider having the men and women stand next to an actual high SMV model and then ask them to rate themselves? I would be curious to see what people would rate themselves 1-10 while standing next to an actual 8 in looks and body?

[@blackananaas]

And ask them to rate themselves with excluding number 7. And the high one should come and everybody, without enhancement, no make up, no super styled hair, natural hair, no jewellry, no nice clothes, NO surgery and fillers or whatever, a white or black T-shirt and basic jeans. Then it would be more accurate. Everybody in their NATURAL state. This is how you know if you are naturally beautiful

[@vornamenachname989]

That's really interesting. Great idea! Although I think if they stood next to a 10/10 model, they might still give themselves a 7 because a 7 is still obviously below the highly attractive person. Maybe put a solid seven next to them?

@@blackananaasok but how do you get rid of your fillers 😂

[@333angeleyes]

There was a documentary that did something similar, and what was most shocking is that the women (there were no men in the experiment) just rated the model higher. The researchers' hypothesis (which I agree with) was that rating yourself as a 6~7 is safe. It is above 5 which is average (and no one wants to be average) but not so high like an 8 or 9 which would cause them to face reality in the form of negative criticism from objective observers of their beauty. Anyway the model used was about a 7.5~8 but because most of the women wanted to label themselves as a 7 they knew standing next to another 7 would instantly make them a lair so they rated the model as a 10... Oh, and the reason I said the model was a 7.5~8 is because of another prior experiment in which they had a few hundred people rate the model from 1-10. Personally, I thought most of the women fell into the average range 4~5, so I don't know why they were so determined to be 7's.... Seriously! Ask any unfortunate person whose looks rate about 2~3.5, and they would LOVE to be considered at least average (5 out 10) looking.

I'm a psychology major and this video came up in my recommendations and the comments are so miserable 😭 I clicked on the video after seeing the word "social experiment" and there's nothing wrong with the video, it's actually super interesting. But the comments... nothing is more unattractive to me than a person who is obsessed with rating other people's appearance. You either find them attractive or you don't, that's fine, but to be obsessed with "bringing them back to reality" or "humbling them" like who cares, genuinely? I've been interested in "ugly" guys before just because they were super sweet and kind, and I was automatically able to look past their looks (like the video said). Who cares if an unattractive person likes how they look. Good for them, that doesn't bother me. I don't think these people need to be humbled or reality checked because I genuinely couldn't care less how they view themselves. Caring about "humbling people" and "putting them in their place" comes from some sort of complex : a superiority complex if you genuinely think you're better looking than all of these people and therefore you have to fulfill some sort of "role" in which you need to "humble" these people, or an inferiority complex where deep down you believe that you're uglier than all these people and you're displacing/projecting your feelings onto these people who did nothing but rate themselves highly. Some of you need to touch grass and seek help, you're probably miserable to be around.

Most people here were like 4s and 5s with some 6-6.5s sprinkled in. I think rating on a bell curve is the best way. According to the bell curve, a 7 and above is in the top 2% of looks, so a 7+ is reserved for models. I consider a 6 a good looking/cute person.

[@Looong_Story_Short]

Long story short: * People broadly agree on who is attractive and who is not, but when it comes to you: 7 is the magic number. Most people rate themselves 7 out of 10, and also consider it to be the threshold for dating. * Implication is: less attractive people see themselves as more attractive, and more attractive people see themselves as less attractive. "Just above average" attractive people are aligned with external perception. * Most people over-rate themselves possibly because of 1/ exposure effect (the more you see sb, the more you like it), 2/ self-deception for confidence boost (which leads to more romantic success), 3/ focusing on different traits to judge oneself vs. others. * We prefer to be judged on our looks by strangers than our peers. It is less threatening. * Beyond looks, confidence and good personality are seen as attractive. And over-confident people have a competitive advantage. Cheers.

Calling yourself an 8, 8.5, or 10 is crazyyyy. Nobody in this video was above a 7 and most were like a 5 or lower lmao. It's insane that people think "well i put effort into being presentable" or "I'm confident so therefore I'm a 10" lmao like plz be so for reallll

True none were high on the beauty scale. Most were 3 or 4 at best.

There were definitely above averge people here.... I'm too lazy to find the rest buy 6:59 girl was super pretty. 2:32 girl also has a lot of potential like her eyes are pretty and features

you guys are too judgemental 😂 and yall perception of beauty is screwed.

[@SuperAutastic]

@@victoriancarwash4393 nah you would just rather people lie to you so that your feelings don't get hurt. I'm begging y'all to be realistic. Not everyone needs to be beautiful but calling everyone a 8, 9, or 10/10 is delusional.

"I'm pretty average so I'm a 7 or 8".......... Wuuut... Seems we have a problem with math in the public school system.

[@mar1nn998]

If i ever get an 8 online i will not take it seriously like how is eight average....

[@andy2641]

??? Math has little do do with this. If their perception is that an average person is pretty then that’s their truth. That’s like saying that on the Richter scale, the average earthquake HAS to be a 5.0. No concept of statistics at all!

[@amirtorhan2762]

​@@andy2641What's the point of rating people on a scale of 1 - 10 then, if everyone have their own scales? The number you say doesn't really mean anything either way.

[@andy2641]

​@@amirtorhan2762 It's not that serious. I'm often asked stuff like "what did you think about this movie on a scale of 1-10?" or "how much do you like this food on a scale of 1-10?". I also come across rating sites for movies and music like letterboxd and rateyourmusic. These scales are to assess how much a person likes something. Attractiveness is subjective, so you cannot create a universal standard scale for it. I assume the scale you are thinking of is a scale of fitting to societal beauty standards.

[@amirtorhan2762]

​@@andy2641 You have no clue what you are talking about. Of course attractiveness is subjective but that has nothing to do with it. When someone asks you to rate someone from 1-10, you are supposed to give them a number from 1 to 10 where the average person will be a 5. But due to most people being people-pleasers and also seem to lack understanding of the entire concept. The majority of people will rate with extreme biases, where most people will be 7s or even 8s. This is foolishness and completely illogical, and no it doesn't mean that they think the "average person is pretty". It means that the average is 7-8 instead which doesn't make any sense. This kills the entire idea of the scale because it will be completely distorted and it means the actual attractive people (those who are real 8s or 9s) will barely be differentiated by the average and slightly above average because there is no room in the scale. You bringing up other scales like Richter scale which is a completely different thing just shows your lack of knowledge. FYI Richter scale is not even a linear scale, it's a logarithmic scale which also doesn't have any limits.

[@jessiemayfield6749]

It’s also important to note the grading system here 7=70=C grade. These people are actually calling their looks equivalent to a passing C grade and y’all think they’re egotistical.

Are those confident people really just lying to themselves? Even at my best I never would have rated myself so high. What is it like to live without insecurities!! A dream!!

[@AnaSofia-xe2wg]

My bet is they are thinking about numbers the way grades are structured. So 6 is barely passing and 7 is average.

[@auggiecontreras8068]

This is like asking someone how much they make. And instead of saying how much they make, they say how much they WANT to make.

[@KalkuehlGym]

The problem is not that people overrate themselfs, its the 10 rating itself. What is a 1, what is a 10. Is 5 absolute average? Is a mega super model a 10? Or do we consider them above that because nobody looks like that? The rating is not able to be represantive of a real beauty standard, it discribes only how well people feel in their body.

[@atkatsom8745]

I felt a bit mean watching this video... I would rate myself 3-4 on a good day but also, very few people here were above 5 in my opinion. Inaccurate understanding of the scale and question seemed to be the issue though. Many times I was thinking that if some of the "10s" and "9s" would be asked if they literally think people would find them as attractive as Brad or Angelina on their best day (or a supermodel example) they would reiterate for a more realistic number. However, I understand not pushing people too hard in a video like this and to be honest, good for them for having such high self confidence. I wish I was like that.

[@dontgnow3464]

love these new kind of video where you apply theory to real life

[@Gkenchington]

I think I find it odd that people say 10 when that would imply to me that they believe they are human perfection, which I don’t think exists and I don’t think it comes across as confident, it comes across to me as egotistical and an ugly trait to not be humble and understand you have faults 🤔

[@rexduranzelandony]

Looks scale is objective and statistical. It isn't affected by how you "feel"

Former teenage model and now plastic surgeon here. (I modeled for Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister, I am a man). When people ask me what I’d rather myself, I give myself a 6.5 or so because someone who is a 7-8 is exceptionally attractive and a 9-10 is ultra rare throughout history. I get the most ridiculous comments “who hurt you,” “where’s your confidence?” Extremely annoying that these people do this.

[@INTJ_5w4]

In other words, 7 is the new average. That's why most people rate themselves a "7."

[@niahhniah6152]

This subject is really interesting because it brings in other topics that can be related to it suck as If you rate yourself higher than average some would judge you or call you selfish or too confident or arrogant. And the people that rate themselves lower would be seen as not confident or shy or "a pick me" So the whole thing comes down to how you see yourself and how others see you and that can be poisoning As it can either make you too aware or careless and other people's opinions matter to almost everyone even if they say they don't care what others say. So in short this topic is very wide as it can be seen both positively and negatively and no matter what not everyone can come to an agreement on it in a lot of points Great video it's really interesting seeing how people view themselves and view others in their life.

[@genericsidecharacter8915]

I think people are forgetting what actual “confidence” is. Confidence should be the absolute belief in something that is actually true. If you’re ugly but confident, that doesn’t mean you lie to yourself and tell yourself you’re beautiful. It means you know you’re ugly but you’re perfectly fine with it and it doesn’t bother you or matter to you in the slightest. And I think THAT is actually 100000% more attractive than being delusional.

[@VEERODPHX]

I actually find the guy who rated himself a 2 more attractive. What people describe as confidence I consider conceit, which makes them less attractive to me.
