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: "Hey, how was the club last night?"
Roommate: "Pretty good, I met someone."
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."
