30 People Rate Their Own Attractiveness From 1 - 10 | Social Experiment 

It's very interesting how people see it as an insult to be considered averagely attractive and think it's humble to call yourself a 7 or even higher.

People unironically rate themselves 10/10, I get that confidence is good, but come on.. there's a difference between

People's perception of a "5" is so low despite it being bang on average. If asked a little differently, I feel like most folks who call themselves a 7 would agree they're realistically only "average"

the issue is the people are answering a different question than what they're being asked.

Confident people don't need to self rate them a 10 to feel good, they'll be realistic and be fine with it

Asking people what they rate their own attractiveness is more of a social and psychological question than it is an objective beauty standard question.

When I was a child I noticed that when we got a new kid in class they looked weird to me but after a few weeks they looked normal like the others. I guess I experienced exposure effect and it was much stronger when I was so young because I haven’t seen many faces before.

Interesting how often 7 is said, for most people it seems as if 7 perfectly encapsules "I look good but not perfect" which I believe is a really common thought most people have regarding their looks. It does not make any sense mathematically for everybody to be a 7, but it all falls down on how you define "good but not perfect". Everybody wants to be above average as well, which might contribute to the trend towards 7.

I found quite a few of those people pretty unattractive and im surprised they rated themselves this high

Average is 5 btw, a lot of people always rate themselves as 7 but what they don’t understand is that’s ABOVE AVERAGE

I'm curious how the results would change if you rephrased the question as "how do you believe others would rate you" instead of "how would you rate yourself"

The people that call themselves a 10 and then say "Gotta be confident" are literally the most insecure people you're ever gonna meet. And also that's not confidence that's straight up delusion.

Huge issue with this social experiment being how the question was asked - the fact that so many of them are bringing up confidence and personal anecdotes shows that they’re not trying to rate themselves realistically in a logical distribution. They’re answering about how they feel about themselves, which is a totally different question than “how attractive do you think you are objectively respective to the rest of the world”

I don't think people willing to speak in front of a camera are "regular" people. They are obviously more confident than when you ask in the streets.

For me it’s the question. Rating how attractive you are to yourself is not the same as thinking you’re a 10 generally.

They are not asking you to rate your confidence. These people are delusional. SMH

The first girl who rated herself a 5 is better looking than all of the girls who rated themselves 7s and 8s. A lot of delusion going around. It's not self-confidence.

I think you need to keep in mind that there's a vast difference between how people actually perceive themselves, and what they'll say if asked.

..the people that said “10” , know damn well, that they are not…it’s ok to be average…u dont appear “confident” when u inflate ur rating, u seem to be insincere/delusional/etc…

EVERYTIME I HAVE TO RATE MYSELF I REMEMBER HENRY CAVILL EXIST, AND IM NOWHERE OVER 5 LOL.
