There seems to be 2 schools of thought concerning the "rating". One is a normalized statistical score, such that the rating is simply 10X the percentile (e.g., a "7" is at 70%-ile, etc.), while the other is price model score, which signifies the score for the prospective romantic interest at which the binary "(s)he's attractive enough" is on the bubble (of course, this would need to have some basis of normalization as a reference). An essential problem is that as normalized per the women's determination of price-level, the rating is less than as per statistics, so a woman who views herself as statistically being at 70%-ile views her "bubble match" to be a man that is statistically at a higher percentile. Thus, even is a man says, "OK, I'm uglier than 1/3 of men, so I'll just take a woman who is uglier than 1/3 of women", a woman on that level would consider him lower than that.The problem falls when the "7" male cannot attract even one HB6, despite going through the numbers. Then the validity of his being a 7 is called into question.
I have a theory, ready? If you are playing the numbers and the best you can attract are 5s, then you are a 5 at best.
