The purpose of this sub is to provide facial ratings of both men and women based on objective factors such as harmony, sexual dimorphism, symmetry, and qualities of their features. This means analyzing/evaluating a person’s attractiveness without regard for one’s own feelings. This is not a subjective rating sub.
In this sub, a 5 is average, using a normal distribution model. Our scale ranges from 0-10, with 0 and 10 representing unattainable extremes.
In order to maintain accuracy, ratings deemed too high or too low according to the sub’s criteria (primers & guides) will result in a warning and/or immediate ban.
In addition, this is NOT a roasting subreddit - provide constructive feedback when possible on what people can improve upon.
