In Taobao, there are also many sellers who can provide face value scoring service, and the price is relatively high. For example, the 99.9 yuan "makeup artist's face value score" includes "three courts and five eyes, temperament analysis, style suggestion, and technical terms to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each five senses."
Some buyers told reporters that "friends around us generally praise each other, and they can recognize themselves by listening to strangers' comments", and "give medicine after diagnosis and be in a daze. "
However, for netizens who are eager to know their appearance level, it is not easy to guarantee whether a few or dozens of pieces are bought as "prescriptions" or "heart plugs".
One buyer, after getting the other person's face value score of 6.4 points, "angered" the photos in the comments and said, "After flipping through the comments, my score is similar to mine, and I still feel that I don't have to spend money to buy gas, and my breasts are exploding."
At the same time, some consumers are quite satisfied with this service. In addition to "objective evaluation" and "helping me know myself better", some netizens said that they had bought the service twice. "Although I only got 5.5 points, my male god only got 5. 1 point, so happy."
On-line face value diagnosis of "straight men" and "art students"
A large number of "Yan value scoring" services have different prices and advertised features and advantages.
In idle fish, the "comprehensive evaluation value of six handsome guys and beautiful women" of 3.33 yuan focuses on truth, and it is not flattering. The product introduction page impressively reads "Don't shoot in blx", "I don't appreciate it, I don't belittle it, because I don't know each other, so I will give you a real evaluation that I can't hear in real life."
However, the 9.99 yuan "professional art design aesthetic score" emphasizes its own aesthetic professionalism. In addition to "evaluating facial features and analyzing face shape", it can also "point out skin condition, clothing, facial features, makeup defects and improvement methods."
Increasingly cheap "hardcore steel straight man online scoring", "senior Yan dog online scoring" and "pure passers-by scoring long reply" have a variety of tricks, full of gimmicks, and the prices are mostly low. As long as 0.5 yuan-1 yuan, you can enjoy a face value scoring service, and some sellers even only score for free. "Help girls score for free and send photos directly to me."
As for how these wild "raters" rate the face value of buyers? The reporter clicked into a number of businesses to find out and found that these scoring services only need to send a few clear front and side photos, which is very fast. After payment, the buyer sends photos through message dialogue, and the seller scores and comments one by one, which basically belongs to "looking at pictures and talking".
Although there are some differences in the specific scoring criteria, 10 is usually used: "1-3.9 is ugly, 4-6.9 is medium level, 7-7.9 belongs to the school flower or network celebrity level, 8 points or above belongs to the debut face value, and 9 points or above belongs to the glamorous face value of big stars."
Although there are some differences in the scoring standards of a store, they are usually 10.
One of the Taobao stores with a large turnover also sells various Yan value scoring services, with prices ranging from 2 yuan to 60 yuan. The difference lies in the details of comments and suggestions. The seller told the reporter, "There are cheap and expensive, expensive and expensive." He said that his team has a total of 10 people, and the team members are basically post-90 s and post-00 s. The score of each order is scored by three people, from which the average score is calculated, and then the judges of 1 write comments. A set of procedures seems extremely rigorous. "There is no comfort component, you must tell the truth, otherwise there will be no bad reviews."
This kind of service has aroused the strong interest of boys and girls. The monthly sales of some Yan value scoring services even reached 200 or even more than 500, and only thousands of comments were made. Many netizens said in their comments that they were "taken by Xiaohongshu Amway" and "I saw it on the road, let's try it".
Subsequently, the reporter bought Yan value scoring services at different prices in three stores with identical photos. Interestingly, in addition to the differences in scores, there are also some contradictions in the comments given by different sellers. One seller said that "gentle and intellectual appearance, square face and nose are not exquisite, and the distance between people is far away", but another seller wrote in the comments that "the face is smooth, and the five senses are in harmony, which belongs to a vibrant appearance."
Gentle, intellectual and energetic ... these comments sound right or wrong, and the effect is subtle. In the end, I still can't come to the conclusion that I am beautiful or ugly. Many netizens feel the same way about this service-happy and skeptical when praised, depressed and unwilling to believe when criticized. ...
Neither the mirror nor the friends around us can tell us, and it seems that the idle fish that sells for a few dollars can't tell us either. Some buyers spit in the comments, "I said that my nose is straight, but in fact I have a standard nose." "It's all templates, too careless, don't waste money."
From "Carnival" to "Commerce"
The familiar taste of Yan value scoring is inevitably reminiscent of the boys and girls who are keen to rank their classmates according to their looks.
They are whispering and chattering behind their backs, which also makes boys and girls taste the bitter taste of "being watched" and "being stared at" in life prematurely.
When the marketing number is not "red", Weibo users who are called "hand brothers" "left a few hands", and they rose rapidly by scoring other people's photos.
About 20 13, he left a few hands and earned millions in this way. His comments, called "poison tongue", made a 360-degree rant against the appearance, clothes, taste, family and environment of the characters in the film, which triggered one network carnival after another. In this regard, some people describe that "everyone who takes pictures needs courage."
However, netizens' interest in "seeking evaluation and scoring" has never weakened. Now there are special exposure areas for tiger pounce and post bar, where netizens ask their own values. If you post asking yourself if you have a score of 6-7, it may lead to ridicule. After all, Gao Yuanyuan, the tiger goddess, scored only 8 points.
Competition with face value seems to be a kind of "metaphysics". After all, looking at myself in the mirror, I still feel that my nose is not my own nose in the morning, and I feel gorgeous at night, which really confirms the sentence "Dusk is the worst time of my day".
So on various social platforms, people always ask "how to know your true face value" and "what kind of experience it is to have no idea about your face value" ... and there are even various versions of the face value scoring table for boys and girls. It is easy to judge others by these standards, but it is still difficult to see yourself clearly.
There are also many softwares that provide similar "face value scoring" services. For example, a software called Deeplooks can abstractly evaluate various "images" headed by people and things, and then display the score with the number 1-5.
But absurdly, the photo of the goddess Satoshi Ishihara scored 2.6 points, while the gorilla's face value actually scored 2.5 points ... What is even more hurtful is that many netizens actually measured that their face value score is lower than that of gorillas.
The software tells everyone "don't take it too seriously", but it's really hard to take it seriously.
Baidu AI Yan value rating, Tik Tok Yan value rating, Microsoft Xiao Bing Yan value rating ... In addition to various Yan value rating apps and small programs, there are even many apps featuring "Yan value socialization", some of which even claim that "only 50 users with an average score of more than 3 points can successfully enter the app" or "give people with high Yan value more opportunities", pushing the praise of Yan value to the extreme.
Various Yan value scoring software
However, it must be noted that there are certain risks in this face value evaluation service. For example, the seller scores according to the photos, and whether the personal face photos are handled properly after the comments.
Some Taobao sellers told reporters that "the photos will never flow out after evaluation. More than 6,000 people have placed orders with us, and the safety can be completely assured." But in addition, a large number of low-priced or spoofed services have also appeared in turn. When placing an order, in addition to photos, the buyer's delivery address, name, mobile phone number, etc. There is also the risk of revealing personal information.
Yan value scoring is ok, but it is not necessary.
Nowadays, people who seem to be more beautiful and handsome will also have moments of "face value anxiety". In February this year, the Chinese youth media conducted a survey on the topic of appearance anxiety among 2063 college students nationwide. The results show that 59.03% of college students have some appearance anxiety. Among them, the proportion of serious appearance anxiety of boys is higher than that of girls, while the proportion of moderate anxiety of girls is higher than that of boys.
Even beautiful and lovely Yan value bloggers will have "appearance anxiety" moments.
In 2004, Kevin M.Kniffin and David Sloan Wilson published an article entitled "The Influence of Non-physical Features on Physical Perception" in Evolution and Human Behavior. Attract three natural studies), in which three interesting comparative experiments are introduced.
In the first experiment, the researchers asked a group of old classmates to rate the attractiveness of their classmates in their graduation yearbook, and then asked another group of strangers to rate the attractiveness of people in the same yearbook.
In the second experiment, the researchers asked rowers to rate the attractiveness, talent, effort and popularity of their teammates, and then asked strangers with similar gender and age to rate their attractiveness.
In the third experiment, the researchers went to a six-week summer school for research. On the first day of class, the researchers asked the whole class to rate the IQ, effort and attractiveness of other students. On the last day of summer school, the researchers distributed the same questionnaire again to see if the scores were consistent with those at the beginning.
If a person's physical attraction is only based on "physical characteristics" or "looks", then the scores of classmates and non-classmates, teammates and strangers should be similar before and after class. However, the research of Kevin and others found that this is not the case.
For example, there is a rower who is always lazy and has a poor personality, and is almost unanimously evaluated as "ugly" by other teammates. The other, who trained hard, rowed first-class and was friendly, was unanimously rated as "attractive" by his teammates.
However, when strangers evaluate their looks, they are not unanimous and one-sided. In fact, the two people got similar evaluations of attractiveness.
This may mean that besides being beautiful, young and in good shape, people's evaluation of physical attractiveness is often influenced by various "non-physiological characteristics"-for example, do you know this person? Like is this person friendly? For example, do you like this person?
Finally, Kevin and David said, "If we present our findings in the form of beauty skills, that is, if you want to improve your appearance and become a valuable social partner."
For boys and girls who really don't know what they look like, there is really no need to be too anxious. After all, being an easy-going person will make people around you look at you with a beauty filter.
