The proverbial scale of 10

We all use the scale of 10 to describe our appreciation of something - usually the beauty factor of a  woman. In fact there was even a movie starring Bo Derek titled "10." Since we all like different attributes I propose standardizing the scale of 10 to make it more meaningful to everyone.

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.

The first "zone" is the head and includes facial features and hair. In my system the head is worth somewhere between 0 and 4 points.

The next zone runs from the shoulders to the waist - worth anywhere from 0 to 3 points.

The last zone runs from the hips to the floor - again worth 0 to 3 points.

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.

Of course this method does have its limitations. You can't fairly score a woman wearing clothes - so ladies take your clothes off :-)

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.
