With that said, who sets the curve? By definition, someone from the political realm has to be the 10.
There is no political curve. You're either hot or you're not. Doesn't matter what your profession or age is. One Scale. One Love. Science is Science.
10: Almost flawless and very rare. Could be a top model, top playboy centerfold (nationally amazing, the MENSA of hotness)
9: The hottest girl at the club, The hottest girl at school, etc (more locally amazing)
8: One of the hotter women at the club, one of the hotter girls at school (upper class of hot women)
7: Cute girl at the club, in classes, at work, in apt building. Definitely cute, but not tops locally.
6: Fairly attractive, no major flaws but maybe minor ones
5: Starting to be unattractive, but certain qualities work in her favor. Nothing major, but minor problems are more common
4: Not attractive. Major flaws start piling up (overweight, blemishes, etc.)
3: One of the uglier girls in school, one of the uglier girls at work (lower class of ugly women)
2: The ugliest girl in school, the ugliest girl at work (couldn't even get into a club)
1: Absolutely disgusting and hard to look at. Young children point and adults look away upon seeing (not one single redeeming quality)
