I don't think it is sickening to "rate" people for attractiveness. Fact is, we do it, subconsciously, every moment of every day.
What is sickening, is that people take these subjective surveys of other's opinions and then apply it like some universal measurement of truth against their own self-esteem.
If I have a round face, and walk into a room full of people who really think thin faces are attractive...?
I'm automatically ugly, even if I have the most classically defined face of all history, because the BIAS in the room is against round faces to begin with.

@GwydionFrost So you are saying that the blame lies on those who buy into the "assessment" of others?

@SW-User BINGO. Opinions are a dime a dozen, and just because it is expressed, doesn't make it the defacto default for reality...
