TikTokers are using the Attractiveness Scale effect on TikTok to compare themselves with celebrities they deem most attractive. While most of these celebs fit a certain beauty standard, it is problematic that there isn’t much diversity in terms of race or body type among them. Not to mention, these charts are made by incels who uphold misogynistic and racist beliefs about physical aesthetics. So if you don’t get a result you like — don’t take it too seriously!
What is the ‘attractiveness scale’ on TikTok?
The Attractiveness Scale on TikTok is a system used to rank male and female celebrities from 1-10, 10 being the most attractive. For example, Ian Somerhalder and Tom Cruise are considered the most attractive while Daniel Kaluuya has an average level of attractiveness. The most attractive man is described as having a “square face with masculine features and hunter’s eyes.”
Amy Schumer or Emma Watson are ranked as 10s depending on the chart. The highest level in the female chart is described as, “extremely attractive — most people will agree she is hot or stunning.” Meanwhile, Adriana Lima and Miranda Kerr are ranked only lower than this position at 9’s. Looking at a person’s face, we can usually tell if they have very high symmetry and good teeth. If their hygiene is excellent too it makes the overall impression better.
The user @grahamazonprime was stoked to be ranked as a 10.
TikTok @satansgirlfriends was happy to be ranked a nine with the supermodels.
