The 1 - 4 scale was devised by several brilliant minds who grew increasingly frustrated with the inherent subjectivity of rating women on a 1-10 scale of fuckability. Hence, the 1 - 4 scale was created to avoid the dubious, yet frequent dilemma of distinguishing between a "9" an 8.4" a "3.4" etc. The genius of the 1 -4 scale is that it employs a categorical, objective system generally agreed upon by most heterosexual males (and lipstick lesbians, not the butch ones).
Without further ado, here is the breakdown of categories:
A "1": This category is designated for females who you un-mistakenably, undoubtedly, and unabashedly would not have sex with, even in your most inebriated, depressed and lonely state. The "1" is generally characterized by the lethal combination of an ugly face, extreme obesity and very low self-confidence.
The "2":
This category is interesting because a lot more variables come into play here. The "2" is agreed upon to be generally unattractive however due to a variety of circumstances (i.e. shes a butter face, decent face with a fat body, or you have a fetish for 14 year old Malaysian prostitutes), you will have sex with her if you are drunk enough. The key here is that nobody finds out. You make sure you keep this one to yourself.
The "3":
Simultaneously the easiest, yet most problematic category to define. The "3", very broadly put, is a legitimately attractive female who you would unashamedly have sex with. The "3" is worthy of bragging rights, perhaps even girlfriend material, if you're a pussy like that. This is probably the best you're going to ever do.
the "4":
The "4" is distinct and should not be thrown around lightly. To put it in the words of one of the founding fathers of the 1-4 scale, "this girl is so hot, you would kill your own mother and piss on her grave just to smell this girl's shit." While killing is a little extreme (given the nature of our court system and their increasing willingness to play the "hard line" on parent killings), it puts into context the magnitude of what the "4" represents. This girl is so out of your league, you avoid eye contact at all costs. "4's" represent under 1% of the female population, and you most likely will never insert your penis in one.

Me: "Hey dude, how did last night go?"
Roommate: "Not bad, brought a girl home"
Me: "Nice. She a 3?"
Roommate: "No, i'd say like a 7/10"
Me: "Listen cock-smoker, the 1-10 scale is for fucking amateurs, what is she on the 1 - 4 scale we discussed?"
Roommate: "Oh..I'd say mid-to-high 2ish"
Me: "werd"

2 – Ugly
3 – Near Ugly
4 – Below average
5 – Average: You’re friends wouldn’t be impress!
6 – Above Average/Cute: No major complaints.
7 – Very Attractive/Hot/Pretty or Handsom: Someone you’re proud to show off in public. He or She gets a lot of attention.
8 – “Beautiful” (man or woman)/All of a 7 and more: Brag about having.
9 – Drop-dead Gorgeous/Outrageously Beautiful/All of an 8 and more: minimal flaw that is over looked by most.
10 – close to “Perfect”/One in a million: This person has a very beautiful symmetrical face, excellent body with great proportion, dresses well, knows how to carry himself or herself...

Something that is too extreme to be measured. The Richter Scale is officially used for measuring earthquakes; anything above 7 is described as a major quake. Anything "off the Richter Scale" (or "Off the Richter") is therefore an extreme example.

Scales for measuring Mark Hickmans Cringquakes (Incredibly Cringey Moments)...
The Hickter Scale is the best known scale for measuring the magnitude of cringy moments performed by Mark Hickman. The magnitude value is proportional to the logarithm of the amplitude of the strongest cringe wave during an "cringequake". A recording of 7, for example, indicates a disturbance with ground motion 10 times as large as a recording of 6. The table below gives the frequency of cringequakes in a year and the effects of the cringequakes based on this scale.
Hickter scale no. Frequency per Week
<3 - 800 000 Detected only by cringemometers .
3 - 30 000 Just about noticeable by others.
4 - 800 Most people notice them.
5/6 - 1400 Everyone notices them, asked to leave shops.
7/8 - 15 Serious damage: People cross the road to avoid, people may collapse.
9 - Great damage, most people run in fear.
10 - One every 5 to 10 years Total damage, people have been known to "drop dead".

The Hickter Scale:
Mark will attempt to chat up a girl by telling her he loves her.
Nearby people will give him a rating, something this severe would usually earn a 7.

A game of 2 or more players (usually of the same sex) where colours are used to code the sexual attraction (fuckability) of a member of the opposite sex.
Red = Would not bang or poke on Facebook or with someone else's bargepole. Run the FUCK away.
Yellow = "Take her out for a seafood dinner and never call her again". Do-able but after alcohol consumption.
Blue = Acceptable - individuals you are actually attracted to.
Black = Would definitely 'bang'.
UV = Fucking insane. Would resort in multiple pregnancies.

Darrell: "Dude, what you reckon to that girl over there on the Big Bang Scale?"
Josh: "She's not quite a blue, so yellow!"
Darrell: "So harsh man! I'd easily say she's a blue!"
