1-10 Attractiveness Scale

The attractiveness scale is an outdated concept largely based in sexist objectification of women by which one can objectively rank an individual's physical attractiveness based on a 1-10 scale. An Attractiveness Scale takes the shape of a Bell Curve, meaning the vast majority of people are lumped together in the middle range.

The scale can be understood as follows:

1 - 3 UNATTRACTIVE
The bottom 10% of the scale describes those generally considered unattractive people. In particular people with pronounced deformities or a seriously irregular appearance.

4-7 AVERAGE

The vast majority of people (roughly 80%) fall into the average range. Their looks are typical and not exceptional.

8-10 THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
About 10% are people who are generally agreed to be well above average in looks. These are the people highly sought after for their physical appearance and who are often employed AT THE HIGH END of beauty- focused industries such as fashion modeling, entertainment, and sex work.
On the 1-10 Attractiveness Scale most women think they are "8"s but they are really "5"s. Most men assume they are "5"s no matter where they fall on the scale.

Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey Scale is an apparatus, somewhat resembling a standard bathroom scale, which quantifies whether its user is light in the loafers. Before deployment, each Kinsey scale is taken to gay saunas and drag queen shows to be carefully calibrated, based on this standard:

0 Exclusively heterosexual
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 Exclusively homosexual

The result, on a scale of zero to six, is displayed using the six colours of the Baker pride flag. If the user is entirely light in the loafers, all six colours will illuminate like a rainbow; if the user is entirely straight, the whole display fades to monochrome.
I picked up a used Kinsey Scale in a local department store as part of an ongoing promotion, in which clients are encouraged to collect Kinsey points and redeem them for valuable prizes. Apparently Ellen, the lady on the telly, managed to collect all six Kinsey points and redeem them for a toaster oven - so maybe that's the incentive I should try next?

There's also the Klein Scale, which runs from one to seven on multiple factors, including whether the user is wearing Calvin Klein or BumChums as undergarments. A bit more complex, but it seems to have a few interesting possibilities.
