The top-ranks on the leaderboard has me convinced this is a poor predictor of actual attractiveness to actual humans. You should have an option to privately rate a photo and not post it publicly. Seems like a big oversight.
lol, yikes, yeah at least start with a hot-or-not baseline as a sanity test.
people are subjective, math is objective ;)
The people high on that leaderboard are objectively ugly. Attractiveness is pretty consistent across individuals and cultures with only minor variations.
honestly the leaderboard was the most interesting part of the project for me. like people looking at their friends, the people near them who have similar rating etc. was the coolest part. if i allowed people to not post it publicly, most wont, and that would ruin the appeal of the site
