Strangers rate other people’s attractiveness in awkward video

Several strangers have rated a number of people’s attractiveness on a scale of one to ten in a video that sees them discussing the reasons behind their score.

A ten-minute video created by Cut.com and posted to its YouTube channel shows a total of nine participants being rated solely on their looks by people they have never met before. 

The cringe-worthy clip sees the strangers revealing the brutally honest reasons for low-ratings, as well as their reasoning behind giving some people a high score.

Yikes! Seattle-based company Cut.com shared a video on its YouTube channel that showed nine people being rated by complete strangers on their looks

The video, which was posted to YouTube on Tuesday, April 9, begins as four people – whose role it is to rate the others – analyse the appearance of a white woman with long black hair and ‘curves’.

The woman receives a positive overall rating from the four judges, with one man saying: ‘I’m going ten right now. The hair, the ensemble is all put together. She’s slim, but she’s really voluptuous.’

Rating the woman, a female judge rated her as a ten, while another gave the woman ‘a solid nine’ based on her appearance, and her silhouette, in particular. 

She said: ‘The contrast between the waist, and the upper body. The way the shape looks.’

Next up in the video was a young man, who said he was half Korean. When asked to rate him, a gay female judge gave him ‘a man eight’.

She explained: ‘On a lesbian scale, he wouldn’t turn me. I wouldn’t be like “let’s do this”, you know what I mean?’ 

Overall, the young man received three eights and one five, which came from a female judge who said: ‘Your face is a little weird.’

When he asked her why she thinks his face is ‘so weird’, she replied: ‘It’s just long.’ 

Rating: Another person whose appearance was rated on a scale of one to ten by the four judges was a man, who received ratings of one, seven and five

The next person who was rated based on their looks in the clip was a man who sported long, curly hair and wore a plaid shirt with jeans. 

The participant received a score of one, seven and a five – which came from the same woman, who said the participant isn’t her ‘cup of tea’.

After receiving the low score, the man asked: ‘Not even for one night?’ Responding to his question, the judge said: ‘I mean, that hair, we’d have to put it back for sure.’ 

The cheeky participant responded, saying: ‘Not unless you turn around.’ 

Rating the next contestant – a six foot three black male – one judge said: ‘I mean you’re tall, but your bald.’

Another judge added: ‘You’re still a little more manly than I like. You’re well put together. I’m going to give you an eight.’ 

Another judge gave the man a six, to which the participant replied: ‘Why a six?’ The judge then changed her mind, and gave him a higher rating of seven because of his ‘attitude’.

Next up in the video was an Asian woman, who received two sevens from two of the judges. After receiving her second seven, she asked the judge: ‘Why not eight?’

Responding, the judge said: ‘I’m typically less attracted to Asian women, but if we were to sit down and I was really feeling your vibe you might go to an eleven through the roof.’

Not impressed: The next contestant, Jenny, was unhappy with her overall rating as she received a five from one judge, despite being rated as a ten from another judge

The next participant who was evaluated based on their looks was a woman named Jenny. 

The young woman received a mostly positive rating from the judges. She said: ‘Lesbian-wise, studs usually aren’t my type’, before giving the participant a ‘solid eight’.

Another rated the young woman highly, saying: ‘Ten. Like the symmetry [in her face] is nuts!’

However, one judge said: ‘One night stand material. Like five.’ And when asked by the participant how he could ‘be a ten’, she brutally said: ‘You can’t.’

The next participant was a white woman whose name was Carter. While rating Carter, one judge said: ‘Oh god, I don’t like myself today.

‘It’s so f***ed up to say but I guess physically you’re not as fit as I would prefer personally. I would say you evened out at around a six,’ she added. 

Another judge rated Carter with a five, before one judge gave her a high rating of nine. 

‘You get a nine from me for sure. Yeah, you look good,’ he said. ‘I like voluptuous women, and that’s what you’ve got going on. 

The following two contestants, both male, received an overall positive reaction from the judges. 

The final participant – an Asian woman – received a nine, eight and a seven.

The judge who rated her with an eight said: ‘You don’t have a lot of chest area going on, but that’s okay. They’re still perky, nice. 

‘You’ve got the buns. You get an eight from me,’ he added. However, another judge gave her a seven, which led the participant to ask how she could improve her rating.

‘I don’t know, you can’t really change your face unless you do plastic surgery,’ she responded. 

After rating each participant individually, the judges had to line them up order of most to least attractive, before placing themselves where they thought they deserve to stand in the line. 

Another video uploaded by Cut.com saw the contestants speaking about how it felt to be rated on their appearance by complete strangers. 

One participant said: ‘One thing people don’t really talk about as much is [that] there’s like the white privilege, and then there’s male privilege, but I think above all that that supersedes it is this – if you’re good looking, things are way easier for you, and it’s true.’ 

Another added: ‘I believe first impressions make a very big difference in how you treat people. 

‘I do have those initial judgements but then I try not to judge someone’s character and who they are because of that impression,’ he added. 

Carter added: ‘I think people have a really hard time with fat people. They just don’t know what to do with them.

‘Society just s**ts on them all the time. Everyone hates fat people,’ she laughed.
