Indeed. 4 stars for a guy could mean "this person is average looking, but I think I might get to fuck them" rather than "this person is in the top 80% of beauty".

No, it's only a 5 point scale.

1: bottom 20%; 2: 20% - 40%; 3: 40% - 60%; 4: 60% - 80%; 5: top 20%

Am I missing something?

Well, men (but not women) apparently give grades on a bell curve, so you'd expect 40% three stars, but only 5% 5 stars.

No, it looks like I was wrong but there's no link to delete it.
