Get the food chubb scale mug.Similar to the pH scale in chemistry, The SWAMP (Sesh-With-Against-Meet-Parents) Scale is a 1-10 scale used to rate a guy/girl you are dating.
The idea is to compare how much you enjoy seshing (British, partying) with them, against how comfortable you think you would feel introducing them to your parents.
For example, if you were dating a girl who's an absolute riot and a great laugh on a night out, but maybe too extreme of a character to be your parents' cup of tea you'd probably put them at around a 1 or a 2. This is in no way a traditionally 'low' score, it's just heavily weighted to one end of the scale.
Alternatively, if you were dating a guy who is polite, very well mannered, who your parents would definitely love, but doesn't like staying out after 11pm or drinking more than two units in a week, you'd probably rate him closer to an 8 or a 9 on the scale, depending of course on your own preferences.
The idea for most people would be to find a partner who is as close to a balanced 5 as possible.

Yeah so I met this girl off tinder, she's fucking mental hanging out with her, I've never seen a girl do so much tequila in one night, absolute mad one, I'm definitely gonna keep seeing her but god would she ever not be appropriate to come to my cousin's wedding next month, on The SWAMP Scale I'd rate her at around a 2.

Get the The SWAMP Scale mug.by Emain Sarves January 31, 2022
Get the Grange rating scale mug.This is an amended version of the 1-4 scale. This scale removes almost all subjectivity from measuring your attraction to someone. Posts on this site have done their best to set out this scale, but this is the definitive, amended version.
The Basic 1-4 Scale (as already noted by Howie440):
1. I wouldn't and I don't see why anyone would.
2. I wouldn't buy I can see why someone would.
3. I would but I can see why someone wouldn't.
4. I would and I can't see why anyone wouldn't.
A New Addition (the 1-5 scale):
5. I would, I can't see why anyone wouldn't, and I'll be happy if I can just get with them.
Amendments & clarifications:
i) Who can really be considered a 4? - To avoid any subjectivity, keep in mind that: if everyone in the group says they're a 3, they're a 4. This is because if everyone calls them a 3, then everyone would and, therefore they're a 4.
ii) The 5 - More of a theoretical idea than a reality. The 5 is someone whom you would be completely satisfied to get with (make out with) once and never see again. They are so attractive to you that you would happily take the one opportunity and never try to talk to them again.
However - this means that if you do try to talk to, message, or get with them again, they are now by default a 4.
iii) It should also be noted that much like how any 4 must already be an agreed 3, any 5 must already be an agreed 4. This is continuous scale.

Me: "Nice, good looking?"
Roommate: "I'd say 8/10."
Me: "How am I meant to know what that means, use the 1-5 scale."
Roommate: "Oh like a solid 3."
Me: "Glad to hear it mate."

Get the The 1-5 Scale mug.(Pronounced like dik' son fish' scale) the measurement used, usually by men, when bragging about certain body parts and/or the size of the fish they caught.
Mary was very shocked and oh so disappointed when she realized that Mark had measured using The Dicks & Fish Scale.

Because of the metal in a boob piercing and leftover infantile instinct it is inevitable that people will be magnetically attracted to said piercing.

The cove scale is a rating from 1 - 4
1 - I wouldn’t date them and I don’t know why anybody else would.
2 - I wouldn’t date them but I can see why other people would.
3 - I would date them but I can see why other people wouldn’t.
4 - I would date them but I can see why other people would.
