Never ask questions to which you don’t want to know the answer. ☹

And got an access denied from external hosts from the evil Yahoo photo album.  
Still testing, think the album permissions are right.

Still, obviously people get pissed off if a picture doesn’t load, got several 1s right away - which may explain some scores on this thread. You guys on a slow server?

Rachelle, semi-nudes of you would be “much too good for the common people,” as Shakespeare said. Don’t waste good pulchritude on the “HOTorNOT” hoi polloi… post 'em right here on the good old SDMB. I’ll be happy to preview them by email if you like. _grin_

I noticed that when I was idly clicking around on that site, the same pix kept popping up again and again. Given that the site requires one to give a pic a rating before proceeding to the next one, I suspect that people are just hurriedly clicking “one” over and over to skip to new photos.

See, everyone? You ARE hot after all.

Well, [I](http://www2.AmIHOTorNOT.com/r/?id=606&key=REQRQ) got my ass kicked. 2.5 mean with a mode of 1. I like to think of myself as a solid 3 at the very least. Maybe I should have shown a little more skin.

I browsed around a bit.  
male graphs tend to look like this…

```auto

.
..
...
.....
..........

As opposed to female:

. .. .
. .... .
..........
..........

```

As you can see, women tend towards a bell-curve, with highly opinionated left and right sides kinda cancelling out (most end up with a 5.5,5.6ish.  
Guys tend to average 3.

The site timed out trying to open your pic (which is probably why it got taken out of circulation). But I’m scoring a lot lower, so don’t feel bad. 🙂

Kyber, I saw your pic fine and gave you an 8! You would have had a 10 except for 2 things: 1. You should have smiled. 2. You look like an ex of mine who is a totally dumb ass. Yup, I’m shallow!

But you’re a cutie! I think this site is a load of crap anyway. Its obvious people are not being truthful on their scores. I, for one, gave a really pretty girl a 2 just because she looked like a bitch. Yup, I’m shallow! Oh, I already said that!

Dunno, I clipped it out of a photo from a kendo tournament - we were supposed to be serious. 🙂

But thanks for the confidence boost.  
Come to think of it, I don’t have many pictures of me smiling, well, my graduation picture but it looks rather forced and I haven’t gotten back the full-sized prints yet(graduation is next spring).

I tend to be a fairly nervous around the photographers, which probably explains it.

Sheesh. They gave me a 5. Not a 4.9, not a 5.1, but a plain old boring 5. I feel so freaking average. Yuck! Anyways, here is my second try, I’ll see if this pic does any better.

…I think the general consensus is that the people who are “grading” here are basically idiots…I believe this proves my point.  
**hypergirl** , the reality is (and I _dare_ any Doper to refute this), you’re somewhere in the 12 to 15 range.  
Of course, personality-wise, you’re off the scale, somewhere past the red zone…
