(Background: The Hatcher Graduate Library is actually an interconnected set of two buildings, Hatcher North and Hatcher South. It is possible to get lost in the stacks even with the guidelines on the floor, as many freshmen do.

This is based off of the 1-10 scale. When someone is 'rating inflating' or suffering from rating inflation they will usually score the person of the opposite sex above what they actually are and as a consequence will psyche themselves out when trying to approach the person to hit on them.
