Would you rate 2 women with different body types the same?

I agree that the total package counts for more than the sum of her parts. Although I don't think in terms of numerical ratings, any woman I've considered a perfect beauty, or a 10, has possessed a quality I could never have imagined. Specifying features a la identikit could enhance attractiveness but could not produce beauty.

Body type is only one of many factors in my rating system. I have a certain view of what I consider to be the ideal body, but I know girls who don't fit that ideal and are still extremely beautiful and girls who do fit it that aren't. For me it's more a question of the total package and it's hard (no pun intended) to break it down into components.

I often rate women with different body types with the same rating. To me, th rating is a comparison to the ulitmate body, so I ask myself if there is anything I could change to that body to make it better. If the answer is no, then she is a 10. An 8, for example, might have a heavier butt than a 10 would have, plus a nice but not spectacular face. If everything else is good I might give her an 8.

Another woman might have a killer body, small waist, nice rack, nice posture, beautiful skin, but an ugly face. Different reason than above, but still an 8.

If she is an 8 she is less than perfect, physically. Could be many reasons why she is less than perfect, but the ranking is still the same.

Rating two girls as 8s is no more objective or precise than saying you find them both attractive, no matter what formula you use.

Yeah, it's you rating them. Ratings are just a numerical representation of an otherwise involuntary internal reaction to visual beauty stimuli. You stand there, open your eyes, and "experience" the woman. She feels like an 8? Then she's officially an 8, regardless of WHICH type of characteristics led you to that feeling.

I can't see why not. It's you rating them. If you keep your ratings to yourself, no one's going to know. Of course, for me, a girl with a lesser body with a greater stage presence could be better than one with the better body, but no presence at all.
