Online Dating Glossary: Attractiveness Barometer
Various dating sites and voting portals offer the option of rating the attractiveness of a photo using a scale. This voting can take place through a so-called photo duel or through a photo competition. The attractiveness of women and men is assessed with highs and lows, similar to the weather.
This creates a so-called attractiveness barometer and he/she can then compare himself/herself with other members.
