Why is it that on a 1-10 rating scale of appearance, that an

Everyone who lifts I'd give one point extra

So genetics win again?

10/10's are definitely not 10% of the population

Its a bell curve you bell end.
Like 80% of people make up the 3-7s

But yes, getting leaner and adding some muscle will raise you at least 1 point on The Scale. 3 points if you're lucky and have good features hiding under the fat.

>Does getting fit really raise your appearance/10 - if you are still basically the same person?

If you're a fatty, yes, because a good portion of appearance rating is regarding the face.

>Why do most people look average

Please tell me english isn't your primary language. What a fucking stupid question. That's what the average is.

this guy gets it

seriously why is it that noone understands averages, normal distribution and all that basic shit?

>>38744918
>statistics man, it fucking math

Surely it's more complex & dynamic than that

Pareto Rule and Normal Distribution.

Things tend towards an average, they dont distribute evenly across a spectrum just because an upper end exists.

>>38744945
really it's a matter of genetics which results in a bell curve due to sexual reproduction.

In gamer terms, we're looking at 2d6 (resulting in a bell curve around 7) instead of a 1d12 (resulting in an even distrubution)

>>38744954
Pretty much this.

Can someone be an 8/10 and still be fat?

Or are they 6/10 until they lose the weight? ---> 7/8 /10

Even if a 6/10 got fit, they still may be only a 6/10

What gives ?

>>38744999
Genetics mostly. You gotta have a really fucked face if you don't look better after dropping 30+ pounds of fat

The D&D dice thing,
That actually makes sense...

>an average person is a 4-6 but this makes up more than 50% of people
Alright, this is a good start

The rest of your post shows you don't understand jackshit about probability distributions though. Look up bell curves.
