PSL rating

Categories: Abbreviations

'''PSL rating''' is a scale used in [[PSL| PSL Community]] to rate human [[Beauty|physical attractiveness]]. It claims to measure attractiveness on a more [https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bell-curve.asp normal distribution] than the [[Decile chart]] commonly used by [[Normies]] to rate attractiveness, which is often claimed by proponents of the [[PSL]] scale to render inflated attractiveness ratings. It is important to note that "PSL" itself is not a scale, PSL is the community from which this scale comes from, there is no such thing as "PSL points", they're known as "[[Sexual Market Value (SMV)|SMV]] points". Note also that the description of ratings in this article is somewhat outdated and does not match how they are percieved on modern [[blackpill]] forums like [[looksmax.org]], PSL rating saw 0/10 as the minimum, 4/10 as average, and 8/10 as the maximum, in modern blackpill circles 1/10 is the minimum, 5/10 is average, and 9/10 is the maximum. The [[tiktok]] BP community has mostly used the somewhat traditional scale that goes from 1-8, thanks in part to influencers like [[Clavicular]].

In this conceptualization of [[looks]] ratings, 4 PSL represents the median physical attractiveness for an individual of a certain sex, while 8 PSL means literal perfection. That means most people are near the median attractiveness (or the 50th percentile), 4 PSL, while a small minority of the population is 6 PSL or higher. Though the population variance in attractiveness for PSL ratings is generally not clearly defined or based on empirically rank-ordered attractiveness ratings, although certain PSL ratings are often claimed to correspond to certain physical attractiveness percentiles, as detailed below. 

Nevertheless, some argue that rating looks more harshly as PSL does may be more accurate than the intuitive decile scale ratings, as online dating data on physical attractiveness ratings appears to imitate a similar distribution of male looks. This may be because physical attractiveness may be non-normally distributed in the general population (with fewer [[men]] than expected being regarded extremely good looking by [[Femoid|women]]), or women may tend to rate men in a similarly harsh manner as the PSL scale intuitively due to increased choosiness.<ref>https://datepsychology.com/is-physical-attractiveness-normally-distributed/</ref>

===The Rating Scale===
* 0 PSL = equivalent to bottom 0.01% of people. Considered [[Subhuman]] by most and is reserved for those with deformities, burn victims or extreme truecels. Those that are 0 PSL flat will usually be more severely deformed while 0.5 are more standard deformities. Anyone below 1 PSL is medically deformed or tend to be burn victims. Notable examples include those such as [[Codywinters327]] (0.5 PSL), Sam entertainment (0.5 PSL), OneCoolDude123, Amadeo Romero, Seven Watley, etc., or famous historical truecels like the 'Elephant Man', [[Joseph Merrick]], who was severely deformed, likely due to Proteus Syndrome. (note that a 0 PSL is not equivalent on the decile scale and is simply 1/10 or lower).     [[File:Joseph Merrick carte de visite photo, c. 1889.jpg|center|thumb|188x188px|[[Joseph Merrick]]]]
*1 PSL = equivalent to bottom 0.5% of people. This the Saint tier category reserved for those who’d be considered unattractive by almost every single person. These people are usually those with very unfortunate looks or mild deformities. Those that are 1 PSL are usually very flawed with bad facial harmony/ratios and unaesthetic features that stand out greatly. Those with mild deformities or conditions are usually 1 PSL as well. 1.5 - 2 PSL simply being those with a more added flaw or flaws that is not seen amongst those with standard conventionally  unattractive faces. Usually only have 1 or 2 redeeming traits examples include the likes of Daniel Larson, Cuffem (very upper end of this range right below 2 PSL), [[Blackops2cel]], etc[[File:St. Blackops2cel - face.png|center|thumb|166x166px|[[St. Blackops2cel|St. BlackOps2Cel]]]]
*2 PSL = equivalent to bottom 10% of people. This is the [[Truecel]] range as those who hit this category or fall below a 3 are truecels. These people are  unattractive to a point where  if not status haloed or famous in any sort of sense will struggle in life and suffer due to their looks. These people are usually conventionally unattractive with stereotypical unattractive facial structures such as Adenoid Face or will be the standard Obese person and/or Elderly person. 2.5 PSL are usually simply those with a very below average flaw or 2 that drops them below 3 or tend to be overweight.

Whilst 4.5 PSL will usually be more haloed and can many times have higher [[Sexual Market Value (SMV)|SMV]] than standard due to an added niche or halo that helps boost them.

The people closest to 8 PSL are those around 7.5 PSL. Those that are 7.5 PSL are the most attractive people of all time and 1 in a few billion. These people are usually where human facial aesthetics hit its full peak and in some candids these people look fake due to how developed, harmonic & how perfect their facial structure is. The only people who achieve 7.5 are Jon Erik Hexum, Hernan Drago, Adriana Lima, Brooke Shields & Taylor Hill.
