I know everyone here is familiar with the decimal system of hotness (e.g. she's a 5). What I'm asking is how many of you have used a different base system. I've personally become a fan of hexadecimal which has led to pseudohilarity.

Friend: That chick is a 9.

Me: No way, she's way hotter. I'd say she's a C.

So, what number systems have you used to rate people you find attractive?

I use multiples of pi

No man, she's so ugly, she's a 3.14159....

I tend to look at it in a more complex way. You know, with imaginary components.

As in, that girl is definitely an i^3?

but that's just -i

whatever. Maybe 2i


Would i^2 be bad or good?

well, it would need to be of the form a+bi, where a and b are independent components of attractiveness, say a = breast size and b is a discrete probability function of the likelihood of her putting out after you spend x amount of dollars on her.

You can come up with whatever interpretation you want. For example, 5+9i might indicate a real/physical attractiveness rating of 5, but an imaginary/personality attractiveness rating of 9.

Actually, that's a surprisingly accurate way of expressing it.

She's so fat, her favorite number is pi.

whatever. Maybe 2i

Rectangular i or polar i?

I only use imaginary numbers for people with imaginary beauty. :D

she's so wild, her favorite number is e

Holy crap, that is.

I think you just stumbled on something!

points. with no limit.
+ points for glasses
+ points for being out spoken
+ points arguing for no reason.
+ points for martial arts practice. ETC

the more points the better of course.

Just roll a 20-sider.

Pilot bandit spotting system.

If you are walking with a friend, and there is a nice girl to the left, slightly ahead, you say 10 o'clock high

Not so nice girl behind yah, 6 o'clock low.

ok girl to the right, parallel to you, 3 o'clock level.

Simples. :p

I don't use a number system or anything. I just think "Wow she's fit" or "Oh Jesus Christ get it away from me" etc.

The formulae contained in the following link are the only objective means of judging beauty in all it's forms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

being of lananaran decent, i count 8 digits, including the two doubly opposable thumbs on each forepaw, thus on both hands, 16, making hexidecimal the natural base in lananaran mathimatics.

of course i don't measure beauty in persons, other then their creativity, imagination, and considerateness of behaviour. there is another quality called attractiveness, in which i find earth humans generally at a serious disadvantage, even among the life forms of their own planet.

I just say she's fit. I need to get technical.

i use bash

$ 'girl' | look
$ grep 'hot' | if hot > man chatuplines
$ echo 'how you doin'
$ cd bedroom
$ su root, baby
$ rm clothes
$ bow-chaka-bow-wow

I don't believe that I've ever used a number system for this particular subject. Essentially, I just stick with a three-tier reaction system that goes something like this:

Hot: Gimme!
So-so: Meh, I'm desperate.
Not: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I tend to look at it in a more complex way. You know, with imaginary components.

Damn, you beat me to it.

I ascribe merely by aesthetic canons.

OK, it's dash, not bash, but hey...

I try to put in terms of what I would do with them thus avoiding the trap of cute being almost opposite of sexy

or on the lower end of the scale how much more drink I'm going to need :p

I don't quantify attraction. At all.

Lusting is a verb. It is something I do, not some thing that can be measured using numbers.

I compare them to Alexis Bledel.

Something like this. Although there are downfalls with this system, alcohol for one tends to really bung up the scale.

Very good answer. Attractiveness is quantifiable. It has to do with ratio of the eyes to the face and also takes into account the nose. There have actually been studies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness

So you would have to use an array or a database or something. So just saying she is a 10 is not enough.

Signals of youth

Breast size

Body Mass Index

Waist-hip ratio

Height

Skin tone

This doesn't even take into account personality. So you would need a very complex system.

I think we have the brain power in this forum to come up with an acceptable index.

Mine is pretty simple. Either Id fuck her, or I wouldnt.

Suppose you have multiple choices then what?

You may be the most optimistic person I've ever met.

I tend to go qualitatively. There's a lot of intangibles that can increase or decrease a chick's attractiveness(like whether or not she's a whiner), and you have to get to know them at least a little before you can even start making that decision.

I was going to say that that statement was crazy, but I realized that that would tragically under-state the length and breadth and depth of the insanity contained therein.

"Put your hands together!"

I believe its measured in Helens.

1 Helen is attractive enough to launch a fleet of 1000 ships to fight for them. Thus 1 MilliHelen is enough to launch 1 ship.

That is awesome. This forum never disappoints.

I usually measure this with an adjective like: NICE, or DAMN, or EWWW EWWWW EEWWW (makes vomit gesture).
