Culture plays into it too. For example here in Finland, school grades are from 4 (failed) to 10, and that ends up skewing how you see any scale from 1 to 10.
As a bit of trivia, originally there were grades lower than 4, but at some point it was decided it wasn’t necessary to determine just how badly you failed. Knowing that you did should be enough. So all the failing grades were bundled up into one, which ended up being the previously highest failing grade.
US schools definitely mess with your head the higher of an achiever you are.
In remedial classes, in most places, 60 is passing.
In normal classes, in most places, 70 is passing.
In advanced classes, you may be kicked out for scoring under 80.
The intuitive concept of "barely good enough" keeps getting higher as you perform better, plus of course each of these types of classes are progressively more difficult by their nature. It really fucks with people who are excellent in some subjects but average in others.
“D” is for Diploma.
In all my normal classes, 60 was the cutoff for passing. In my advanced classes it was 80. Never saw a 70 cutoff though.
Is that percentage of points or just an arbitrary grade scale?
Because that’s quite funny compared to the (non-US) university I attend where you pass the difficult classes with “just” 33% of points.
Weird way to say I don’t care but actually I care a lot
I just realized that 6 is basically a dick pictogram
Legit read this as ‘Dicktogram’.
The social media we really need…n’t.
There’s a hilarious Soviet math joke about it
Is 6/10 the new 5/7?
A perfect score. It is only a legend.
Came into this post for this comment
Hell yeah dude nice cock
If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:
“Hmm, let’s see 9.5… nope, wait, hold on,…”
Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you’re looking at the Mona Lisa
“Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection.”
Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you’re shy)
The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don’t have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you’re examining a really nice piece of art.
Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she’s unconsciously seeing that you’re looking at her whole picture.
At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.
Instructions unclear I stuck a finger in her eye and she punched me
“I touched her face, she touched mine. We’ll both remember this moment forever…” 🌀
Please don’t “look her up and down”. Nobody I know would want to be checked out by an acquaintance or first date like that, and she is most certainly not “unconsciously” seeing you check her out. She’s painfully aware of it.
If it’s someone you’re actually dating already for a few months, then different story. But if it’s a stranger you’re on your first date with, then please don’t do this.
Is that college DeSantis?
The mean is drawn from the average measurement of length (cm/inches). The middle of the scale (5-6/10) should represent high and low variations in the mean.
Assumes rating quality is only based on length, does it not?
According to Randy Marsh, the formula is [(length x diameter) + (weight / girth)] / Angle of Tip²
-1 for all the wordingness

When I was younger I really didn’t get societal norms super well, a girl asked me to rate her and I thought she was not ugly, not gorgeous, I gave her a 7 out of 10. She was offended lol.

What a stupid way to flirt

It’s basically just asking if you think they’re cute lol

You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.
In the future, when a girl asks you to rate her, the answer is always 10.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What you don’t tell her is that you were using binary.
gmtom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tell her she’s a 9 and 1/2 but she’d be a 10 back at your place.
candyman337@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
No I just tell people I don’t rate people that way. Because for one my attraction is not based on appearance mostly, and also no one is a 10 to me because no one is perfect, so they’ll never be happy with the answer. So I outright refuse with that reasoning. Like I’m not gonna rate the girl over there that’s clearly pretty who may be more physically attractive just so I can rate you lower physically despite caring for you more and finding you way more attractive overall.

I didn’t even realize until you mentioned it. I’m what they call a lost cause lol.
