The only people usually who are going to disagree with the normal aesthetic... uhh... well "rating" i guess are people who live in a specific 'niche' of taste. Otherwise, 1 woman who rates a 10 on one mans scale, will most definatly rate a 9.. or 10.. or 11, on the majority of mens scales.

If you want to know what society views as a 9 or 10, sort the titty board (all threads since the beginning) in descending order of either views or replies. Either way, the first couple pages will be what men have voted with their clicks and 'omg sooo hot' replies as being the gold standard for physical appearance.
If you want to find out in a Safe For Work manner, go to Hot or Not, and look at the top scorers.

Yeah, whoa, let's be sure and spare the feelings of those who don't give a fuck about people's feelings.
I can't even believe we are having this conversation.

My entire group of friends (married, single, guys, girls, work, social, club scene, otherwise, ranging from 18 to 30) acknowledges that there are three or four 1-10 scales. One for 'Real Life Hot', one for 'Work Hot', one for 'Media Hot' and one for Total Package (which evaluates job, personality, social standing, AND looks), for both guys and girls. We even go so far as to have achieved consensus about what most of our ratings are, and how many Total Package points away from yourself you should date. (2 points--I've heard several comedians do routines stating the same, so I know it's not just my friends) We joke about people's relationships failing because they tried to date outside their number.
If you think this doesn't happen, you are being willfully ignorant--there have been very successful internet sites (the aforementioned Hot or Not) based on finding out what your number is. Just the fact that 'a total 10' has meaning to every guy in every bar without needing to give it context means it exists. Let's not pretend like this thread is the only place in the world where this practice exists...this thread wasn't about 'hey, do you guys rate women?' it was something else entirely.
Sorry for the clusterfuck of replies, that's what I get for sleeping in and missing the action.
