An internet ranking of male beauty standards in China
1/10 male beauty: This depiction of a 1/10 guy according to the ranking board points to someone who doesn't have the best facial features or body. It mentions "不是人类" which means "is not human".
2/10 male beauty: At this stage, there are still serious problems with the face. Clothes also don't look good on him and he is most likely to be a 杀马特 (shā mǎ tè). This is slang and a phonetic pronunciation of the English word - "smart". However, it is an ironic expression referring to someone who is very gothic-like and not so smart.
3/10 male beauty: At this stage, the man is not considered scary anymore. There are also no major issues with the face, but there are endless minor issues.
4/10 male beauty: An easily forgotten appearance. Said to have a "common face" or "passerby face".
5/10 male beauty: Balanced facial features but not too handsome that people will covet over him.
6/10 male beauty: Has a flaw in either his height, facial features or aura that prevents him from being a 7/10!
7/10 male beauty: This guy was probably the "popular guy" back in school. He has a trendy hairstyle, double eyelids, and a high nose bridge. He would most likely be a photographer or someone working in the entertainment industry.
8/10 male beauty: An 8/10 guy has self-confidence and would have no problems making a living from his face alone.
9/10 male beauty: No words can describe how handsome a 9/10 is because he may just be a fantasy. He's also probably a famous idol or movie star.
10/10 male beauty: Only exists in legends or myths. A 10/10 guy is a genius, hardworking, has lots of achievements, a good body, an outstanding reputation and so much more. Will probably be remembered forever.
