Is it just me, or are the "Hot or Not" ratings always much higer then they should be?

Blech!

Take a nice picture of yourself in good lighting. Those are all fuzzy and awfull!

Hi Joey. I’m Chyler Leigh in real life, and I submitted that picture myself. And I’m not really that famous. Could you keep my picture up, please?

[sub]pssst, I don’t think he’s buying it Troy. Oh well, I tried…[/sub]

I always vote everyone a 10 on these sites, because I think it’s nicer.

Especially on the animal hot-or-not sites. How could anyone’s pet be anything other than Perfectly Beautiful? All those beloved small furry creatures, they are all perfect 10s.

Hippie.

I think she is joking.

So what celebrities have you ‘bonked’? Was it as good for them as it was for you?
:wink:

If you put your picture on the internet, for the love of Jeebus, get all the boogs outta your nose!

Not joking - I always vote 10.

Everyone who posted their pic in this thread - y’all got a 10 from me.

I usually vote a 10, not to be nice, but because all women are beautiful.

I agree with the OP.

I found a similar site that I believe has much more accurate ratings-

http://www.infatuasian.com/

AntaresJB, you are so NOT a 4.3, but I agree that the quality of the pictures affects your overall rating!

I haven’t done much there, but I think they are often under-rated – at least, in the way of guys I find attractive compared to guys I don’t. Maybe I just have weird taste? Though this was a while ago; I haven’t tried lately.

I haven’t been to the people rating sites, but on the kitten rating site (all my Hanna pictures got lost in the crash :() I always rate the kittens high - if it is a good picture. I can’t help it, I’ve never met an ugly cat and they are all beautiful and cute to me. Automatic 10s all around. The only time I ever give a low rating is if the picture itself is awful. If I can’t see what I’m rating, how can I give it a good score?

The shallow part of me really loves this site; it’s embarassing to admit how addictive it is to rate people and see how your rating compares to the average.

I’ve never rated guys, just women, so can’t say anything about guys’ ratings. But for women, the ratings are kinda funny. Lots of women who I consider very attractive get 6’s or 7’s, while some women who ain’t all that hot (but are showing a little skin or cleavage) get in the 9’s or higher.

Can people vote more than once or does it have an honesty counter type thing?

I hadn’t looked at Hot or Not for a long time, but I occasionally look through the Rate-A-Buddy pictures on AIM. Those pictures always seem to be rated very low. A REALLY good looking person will be lucky to get a 7 or 8. And I agree that, for the women at least, a nice looking woman showing a lot of skin and cleavage will get a lot higher rating than if she were more modestly dressed.

I put my picture up there for kicks…I have a 3.6. However, since I have never met the people who’ve rated me, and therefore do not want to date them, I really don’t care all that much.

If you’re curious…

Yeah, I wouldn’t rate Antares that low. The photography, however, downright sucks.

I think (read: hope) that this guys friends put him up under the women section.

But he WAS rated a 4.6. And he fills out his dress rather nicely :wink:

Why skew the results? Everyone who posts their picture is aware that some people will not find them attractive. If you do not want to vote honestly, you would be doing everyone a favor by simply looking at the pictures and not voting. The results will never be perfect (how could they be?), but they can be a lot better than they are now.

I am sure it is doing wonders for their pets self esteem.:wink:
