Yeah, noticed that too.
The 10 scale is not linear. 9 does not mean she is hotter than 90% of women. A true 9 is hotter than 99.5%+ of women. Seeing a 9 is like reliving 9/11, you know exactly where you were when it happened. 10s don’t exist because no woman is perfect.
She’s not my type (brunettes with glasses ftw) but she’s clearly substantially hotter than most of the women you would see day-to-day in any US city except maybe certain parts of LA.
