A PSL rating is a score out of 10 used in looksmaxxing communities to rate facial attractiveness. The name comes from three forums where the scale took shape — PUAhate, Sluthate and Lookism — and it's still the standard shorthand on looksmaxxing sites today. (If you were looking for the pumpkin spice latte, you're in the wrong place, but you're welcome to rate your face while you're here.)
What makes the PSL scale different from an everyday "she's a 9" is that it's deliberately harsh and anchored to the average. On the PSL scale, 5 is meant to be the typical person, and each step above it represents a progressively rarer face. Ratings of 7 and up are uncommon, and 8+ is usually reserved for professional-model-level faces. A face that friends would casually call an 8 is often a 6 on the PSL scale.
This free PSL rating tool scores your face on that 1–10 scale using five measured features rather than opinion, and shows you a breakdown of each one.
The tool uses Google's MediaPipe Face Mesh to place 478 landmarks on your face, entirely in your browser — your photo isn't uploaded anywhere. It then scores five features that looksmaxxing communities consider high-leverage, each on its own 1–10 scale:
| Feature | Weight | What's measured |
|---|---|---|
| Symmetry | 25% | How evenly seven left–right feature pairs sit around your facial midline |
| Jawline | 25% | Jaw width relative to cheekbone width, targeting about 0.78 |
| Canthal tilt | 20% | Whether the outer corners of your eyes sit higher or lower than the inner corners |
| Eye shape | 15% | How open your eyes are relative to their width — lower, more horizontal eyes score higher |
| Proportions | 15% | How evenly your face divides into upper, middle and lower thirds |
Your PSL score is the weighted average of those five, shown to one decimal place.
They map closely to what PSL communities talk about most:
| PSL score | Tool label | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5–10 | Top tier | Exceptional structure across every measured feature — rare |
| 7.0–8.4 | High tier | Clearly above average; strong features with few weak points |
| 5.5–6.9 | Mid tier | Around or slightly above the PSL average |
| 4.0–5.4 | Low-mid tier | Around or slightly below average; one or two features hold the score back |
| Below 4.0 | Below average | Several features sit well away from their targets |
Because the scale is anchored on 5 as average, a 6 is a genuinely good PSL score and a 7 is very good. If you'd like a gentler, more conventional rating of the same structure, the face rating tool gives a 1–10 score that most people would recognise.
PSL ratings are popular because they're blunt, but it's worth being clear about what they are:
Use the score as a structured way to understand your face — for example, to see whether your jawline or your eye area is your relative strength — not as a measure of your worth.
Small photo differences can move this score by half a point or more:
Some components respond to change more than others:

PSL stands for PUAhate, Sluthate and Lookism — three online forums where the rating scale became popular. In looksmaxxing, a PSL rating is a harsh 1–10 attractiveness score where 5 is average.
On the PSL scale, 5 is meant to be average. That's why the scale feels harsh: a face most people would call good-looking often rates around 6, and 7 or more is uncommon.
A 6 is a good PSL score and a 7 is very good. On this tool, 7.0–8.4 is labelled high tier and 8.5 or above is top tier.
Everyday 1–10 ratings are inflated — people use 7 or 8 for anyone attractive. The PSL scale is anchored so that 5 is the average face, which compresses everyone downward. A casual 8 is often around a PSL 6.
No. It's a community convention from looksmaxxing forums, not a research instrument. This tool makes it consistent by basing your rating on measured symmetry, jawline, canthal tilt, eye shape and facial proportions, but the scale itself isn't scientifically validated.
Partly. Lowering body fat can sharpen the jawline, and better photos remove distortion that lowers several components. Bone structure — canthal tilt, proportions, most of the symmetry — doesn't change without medical procedures.
Yes, the same 1–10 scale is used for women, and this tool works the same way for everyone. Keep in mind that the jawline target is a general one, so very feminine, narrow jaws may score slightly lower on that component than their real-world appeal suggests.
Partly because the PSL scale is harsher than normal ratings, and partly because friends react to your whole appearance — expression, style, personality — while this tool only measures facial geometry. Photo angle and distance can also lower the score.
