The proverbial scale of 10

We all use the scale of 10 to describe our appreciation of something - usually the beauty factor of a&nbsp; woman. In fact there was even a movie starring Bo Derek titled &quot;10.&quot; Since we all like different attributes I propose standardizing the scale of 10 to make it more meaningful to everyone.<br /> <br /> When I assign a score to a woman I use the following rule of thumb. First I divide the body into three zones and apply a separate score to each. <br /> <br /> The first &quot;zone&quot; is the head and includes facial features and hair. In my system the head is worth somewhere between 0 and 4 points.<br /> <br /> The next zone runs from the shoulders to the waist - worth anywhere from 0 to 3 points.<br /> <br /> The last zone runs from the hips to the floor - again worth 0 to 3 points.<br /> <br /> If a given woman gets the top score in all three zones she's a 10. Simple and easy to remember. While we all have certain features that are more important to us than other features, using my method will avoid grossly over-rating one woman because she has a beautiful smile and under-rating another because she has small breasts. The idea is to minimize the subjective preferences we all have and make the scale of 10 more understandable to all.<br /> <br /> Of course this method does have its limitations. You can't fairly score a woman wearing clothes - so ladies take your clothes off :-)<br /> Secondly, this method is strictly a visual exercise. It makes no allowance for the fact that a 10 might have a horrible personality while a 3 might be great in bed. So, recognizing its limitations, mentally try it out the next time you are admiring a nude woman. You will be surprised how many 4's 5's and 6's there are. In a normal gaussian distribution of anything, roughly 2/3 of any statistically valid population will be in the average range. <br type="_moz" />
