The looksmaxxing scale from 0 to 8

On this site, PSL is the 0 to 8 number the tool returns. The looksmaxxing scale is the chart that number is read against, not a second score.

The number comes from twelve ratios. Those ratios feed four category scores, and the PSL score is built from the category scores. The looksmaxxing scale then places that score in a band. You do not pick the band yourself. A 4 is the midpoint of the looksmaxxing scale. It falls in the mid band, from 3.5 up to 4.5. This site does not show anyone else's face.

On the same device, the same photo gives the same score. The looksmaxxing scale has no dice roll in it. A second photo in another band means the photo changed the ratios. The looksmaxxing scale did not move its cuts.

There is a men's version and a women's version. Choose the one you want the score measured against before you add the photo. The ranges on the looksmaxxing scale are the same either way. The names are not.

Each band on the looksmaxxing scale includes its starting score and stops before the next band starts. The top band includes 8, because 8 is the end of the chart. Every other boundary belongs to the higher band.

On this looksmaxxing scale, 2.5 is not Sub3. 3.5 is not the low band. 4.5 is not the mid band. 5.25, 5.75, 6.75 and 7.75 each open the next band up. A score sitting on the line is the easy way to misread the looksmaxxing scale. The chart uses these same cuts.

These labels belong to the men's looksmaxxing scale. They name a range of scores. They do not describe character, and they are not a placement against a room of real people.

Sub3 on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 0 up to 2.5. Below average on the measured ratios. A tilted head or harsh light can also push a photo into this band, so check the picture before you keep the name.

Low-tier normie on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 2.5 up to 3.5. A little below average, usually because one or two ratios pull the score down.

Mid-tier normie on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 3.5 up to 4.5. The chart calls this band average, and says most faces land here.

High-tier normie on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 4.5 up to 5.25. Above average: good proportions on the measured ratios, with one or two softer areas.

Chadlite on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 5.25 up to 5.75. Clearly attractive proportions, one step below Chad.

Chad on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 5.75 up to 6.75. The chart's line for this band is rare facial harmony, with few weak points among the measured ratios. "Rare" is the chart's wording. It is not a user count.

Gigachad on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 6.75 up to 7.75. The chart calls it the top-model range: every measured ratio strong and in balance. No named person is involved. A flattering photo can still move the number, which is still geometry from that photo.

True Adam on the looksmaxxing scale runs from 7.75 through 8. It is the ceiling of the chart. The chart does not expect a real face to reach it.

The women's looksmaxxing scale uses the same ranges. The names below are the women's names. Read them as labels for a score range. They are not a comment on character.

Sub3 on the women's looksmaxxing scale is 0 up to 2.5. Below average on the measured ratios. A tilted head or harsh light can drop a photo here.

Low-tier becky on the looksmaxxing scale is 2.5 up to 3.5. A little below average, usually because one or two ratios pull the score down.

Mid-tier becky on the looksmaxxing scale is 3.5 up to 4.5. The average band. The chart's note for this range is that most faces land here.

High-tier becky on the looksmaxxing scale is 4.5 up to 5.25. Above average, with one or two softer areas in the ratios.

Stacylite on the looksmaxxing scale is 5.25 up to 5.75. Clearly attractive proportions on the measurements, one step below Stacy. The step is between those two names on the women's looksmaxxing scale.

Stacy on the looksmaxxing scale is 5.75 up to 6.75. Few weak points among the measured ratios. The chart's wording is rare facial harmony.

Gigastacy on the looksmaxxing scale is 6.75 up to 7.75. Every measured ratio strong and in balance. The chart calls this the top-model range. The phrase does not point at a real person. This site does not use real people's faces.

True Eve on the looksmaxxing scale is 7.75 through 8. The ceiling of the women's looksmaxxing scale. The chart does not expect a real face to reach it.

You can ignore every nickname and keep the ranges. The name is on the looksmaxxing scale so the chart matches the way these ranges are usually written.

The scorer does not edit your photo, and it does not generate a face. It measures the face already in the frame.

A score on the looksmaxxing scale can move between two pictures of the same person, because the ratios move. A camera above or below eye level changes the proportions in the picture. A turned head makes the two sides disagree. A smile changes the mouth and the eyes. Hard shadows, glasses and hair hide landmarks. The looksmaxxing scale reports those shifted ratios without knowing the shot was casual.

For a fairer pass, face the camera, hold the lens at eye height, use a natural expression and even light, pull hair off the forehead, take glasses off, and turn filters off. Then read the band on the looksmaxxing scale. If it still feels harsh, look at the four category scores before you memorize the name.

The looksmaxxing scale will not tell you what to change, and this page will not either.

A psl rating is this same measurement on the homepage, with the same limits. Geometric estimate, photo stays on the device, same photo and same device give the same score. The eye angle in degrees is a separate page, canthal tilt. That page is not a second looksmaxxing scale. It is one angle, with its own bands.
