A better question: Is the 10-point scale an absolute (as in worldwide) or relative (as in differing by region)?
I think it's both. My feelings on appeal by race have been made known, but then again I've done some traveling and try to keep up on things. A guy who never leaves his basement and doesn't do anything might call Kardashian a 10 for all we know; limited by experience.
Yes, it is both. In my opinion the ends of the scale are pretty much absolute (i.e.
your personal definition of 10 or 1 doesn't really change through
your life). However as
you see more women, especially in the foreign countries, the middle of the scale is adjusted; for example before coming to US I'd rate the majority of Russian chicks as 5; now I'd rate them at 7.
However this doesn't even matter. If
you read The Game,
you know about the chick named Katya which turned Mystery into wreck, and caused some major damage among who some
considered top pickup artists in the world. This looks like a pretty high bar to me, and I assume
you'd also expect to see something spectacular. Well,
here she is:
Don't know
what your reaction is, but first time I've seen her picture mine was "
what the HELL?" She looks like one of my drug user girlfriends back from my teens, who eventually died from overdose. Now I'm no way even close to the top PUAs, but at this moment I wouldn't fuck her unless she approached me and got me wasted. She's a classic 4 at my scale. However life is
what it is. It is actually amazing how different our perceptions of feminine beauty are.
