I should also clarify that although this article talked about deductions for missing parts, no extra credit is awareded for additional parts… this includes siamese twins, girls with 6 toes, etc…

I just have to say I like how you added potential inheritance into your NOTE. I see how this would add up. If anyone wants to see a funny YouTube video pertaining to what the Donkey has demonstrated here type in “government rating system.” It talks about how the world is chasing after the same two people and if the government just gave us a number and rules to follow, we would find those we are more compatible with.

If you really want to enhance your scoring system, you can throw it away!

I know this is all based on looks, but I really feel like personality should count for something, especially since some people are great until they open their mouths… I guess I’ll have to add it in to my rating chart.

Oh and I almost forgot. Donkey quit rating beefcakes, you lack the necessary qualifications to do so.

This quite profound. Yes a 10 would be a supermodel. As far a point values, may I add the following deductions:

1 point deduction for missing an ear, an eye, an arm, or a leg

2 point deductions for any gross disease of the skin

A living trunk, no matter how attractive the face, should not merit more than a 4. I was thinking a 3 originally, but I am a compassionate person.

Finally if someone is being described to you whom you have not seen, it is important to qualify the ranking. It usually goes like this.

You: “My wife is a perfect 10″
Me: “A perfect 10.. like Angelina Jolie?” [or some other universally recognized beauty]
You: “Well to me she is even better, to me she is a perfect 10.”
Me: “Okay now I understand thank you”

While it may be sweet and endearing, that level of qualification is a cop out and gets an automatic 3 point deduction if not more.

All I can say to the Donkey et al is to be careful, this is serious science.

That “Beefcake” comment really worries me, Donkey.

I apologize to all those being ranked against me. I didn’t aspire to become a supermodel. It just sort of worked out that way.

Donkey – I think you left out an element from your explanation (at least the way you’ve explained it to me many times to get yourself out of the doghouse). While many people just use 10 to mean “very pleasing to the eye” and 0 to mean “unpleasant” you are actually rating people on a comparative scale – as to how they would compare to all other people in the world. (I just want to make everyone aware that I am being ranked against supermodels)
