PSL rating

PSL rating is a scale used in PSL Community to rate human physical attractiveness. It claims to measure attractiveness on a more 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.

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 women), or women may tend to rate men in a similarly harsh manner as the PSL scale intuitively due to increased choosiness.

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 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, 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).
  
• 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.
