Eye of the beholder, mate.
I'd rather tell myself that I picked up an 8 instead of a 6 any day of the year.
The last few posts in this thread were pretty superficial, I'm guessing you guys have never had a true girlfriend yet?
Standards(especially harsh ones, wtf) are a dismally limiting belief. Think of all the good times and good fvcks you'll miss because you justify your lack of action with a cliche like "her nose was a little too big" or "her boobs weren't C cups" or "she was only an 8 and I only go for 9s."
Stop focusing on the girl and start focusing on the good times, you'll get more that way as well. If I only went after 8-10s I'd still be an unhappy virgin.
And one more thing. What goes around in life, tends to come around later. If you rate girls harshly, you'll be rated harshly as well. Just thinking about the possibilities there is depressing.
Good luck
Good word of wisdom there bud, but I have to disagree...

This is a bit extreme first off all. how many out of you
thousands of looks-only-matters guys wouldn't hit if everything was perfect but her nose was slightly off?
*very few raise their hands*
As for me, my rating scale is heavily based off personality as well as (if not more than) looks now, which is partly WHY my standards are higher. Or are you saying you'd rather date a fine (looks a 9) and easy to get but b!tchy whiny girl (highest overall POSSIBLE a 6 to me) than spend more time finding a better chick? Why? Because having standards is a limiting belief?

Men are already judged harshly, especially by girls who are seen as more attractive. Just think, if you walk the wrong way.... Having a high rating scale doesn't mean we treat any girl less than a 7 like dirt, (like they will do us) it's a way of making sure you're fully satisfied with what you get. Honestly to me it sounds like your saying one should settle for a low quality girl and call her classy than put in more work for a girl worth having. And to be honest that seems completely contradictory to your idea of getting a "true girlfriend", unless you have a very BAD definition of a "true" girlfriend.

If you don't get a quality girl you won't be having very many 'good times'. Pook said it best:

The bitterness of a poor quality woman is remembered far longer then the sweetness of how easy it was to get her. Keep your standards up. Aim HIGH.
Having standards means a bit more work, yeah, but a better pay-off when the check finally comes in.
Maybe I took your post the wrong way, and if so sorry, but, again, my scale is based heavily off personality, with looks thrown in. It might have a different definition to a who bases his SOLELY off looks. If you ask me, standards the difference between having a good life and a great GF and having a horrible life with a scary wife w/ kids (some that's yours, some that aren't) That's extreme, but you get my point.
... I am full english myself, there aren't too many hot girls around my area :l... they kind of remind me of quasimodo (hunchback of notre damme) in some cases *shivers*...
