Discussion Give me one reason why ratings are useful

And is it enough to compromise anonymity? Do you have to use a rating to obtain that result?

They aren't helpful. They are for gassing. Take a good look at yourself and give yourself a rating if you want one tbh.

it’s useful only if you hate yourself and want to feel validated in doing so. same reason some people hurt themselves or self sabotage

So not really any positive benefits, at that point you should seek mental help

correct.

it’s different if i were to send a photo to my homie and i asked for a rating on a specific aspect— “rate my outfit!” and assuming they are honest, they will give their rating AND thoughts on how to improve / where it lacks. in this way it can be useful. it builds trust and you learn more about each other and your differences in opinions.

if you post it randomly on forums like these, you hate yourself and you’re spiraling.

If I post for rating it will help me improve, because usually they give constructive criticism.

Have you applied any of it? You can obtain improvement methods entirely without showing your face

Yes, got braces to fix my forward growth. Doing skincare while I find stuff that is better for my skin. Starting better diet will go to gym after I bait my previous foster parents

just to add onto this, trusting random strangers with advice on how you present yourself is also a bad idea in general. it’s from people all around the world who dont know you personally. difference in tastes and culture. if it’s a friend, they have a better understanding of what you want, what is possible for you, and you can trust they have your best interest in mind

i get so happy when someone rates me good so they are useful

So no benefit, just deranged ego stroking further pushing you into your mental illness

Fixed it

this is generalized advice that is applicable to anybody. especially since it’s vague. “change your diet” is only useful if you already have ideas on how to and what that means in general for your baseline, as an example

 

[zygos]

i get so happy when someone rates me good so they are useful

So an ego/ self esteem boost, PM me ur face

Well no one will give me actually advice because of how young I am.

I understand your point, most people ask for rating because they are hoping they aren’t as ugly as they think they are. Like how the replies are just people saying how it makes them feel better/ eg boost.

But what if someone gives someone an exact diet? Would you consider that generalized advice?

So u were that ginger?

for me low htn

it wouldnt be generalized but difficult to trust. you would get as much use out of it as you would googling random diets and trying them yourself. this is why, at least in the usa, dieticians and nutritionists don’t see you for a single appointment. you go for months and at least an hour. similar to therapy. because it’s only surface level or a guess until the person providing advice knows you personally

Hmmmm, i agree

 

[zygos]

Because people are ruthless

ppl irl will just say you look good regardless instead of acc being objective

Ok

based on experience im chad

 

[rand anon]

systems like psl are useful cause they're more specific and are based on things more in ur control, more helpful for looksmaxxing

 

[Deleted Member 60079]

alot of people think they are better looking than they actually are, so rating can help break out of that. also easier to get advice on hardmax or softmax when youve shown your face

They would just get humbled by real life experience eventually
Not needed
Only in a self absorbed modern world
Improve your looks, but everything should come from experience

to play the other side a bit (tell me if you disagree with this or i misinterpreted your response) and to add onto this:

it wouldn’t be personalized or something that is difficult to find since all of these concepts are already public and vague. HOWEVER, it makes accessibility to them a lot easier. information is only useful if you actually discover and stumble across it.

forums like these are useful only because it allows a lot of related information and guides to be grouped into a single place.

if i looked up looksmaxxing due to a tiktok or post, i would immediately lose interest if all the websites were like “buy this pdf!!” or “pay for this course!!”. the information here is also based on personal experience of it’s users. it’s up to you personally to accept/trust it.

 

[Drownedwithhim]

I honestly have no idea of what I actually look like so a rating was very useful to me cuz I I would've rated myself a 5 before hand

 

[Randomized]

…which you can find yourself

That would require actual self reflection, a true passion to make long term change and the patience to spend time and energy looking into information. Why do that when I can post a selfie on a random website and get told what to change about my appearance?

The most simple and honest answer is it mainly has to do with laziness. People want results NOW NOW NOW and they don't like waiting. It's why a majority of new users sign up, make a post asking what to change and to rate them, and then leave - to never hear back from or see any progress/change from them. They probably never listen to the generic advice to begin with because they probably didn't care that much to begin with.

I agree with @sup it's probably some self destructive behavior.

For me, none at all. n*****s would say high mtn-low htn. Yet my results say otherwise. No point in a flawed system like that when people also purposely underrate

Being rated gl by underaged girls and being rated gl by the chadlites of this forum raised my narcissism
