I'm assuming this made the news because Yale students are supposed to be smart and not sink to something as immature as ranking female classmates. But sadly, I think assigning women scores is something men (err, boys) do even when they're out of college.
This kind of behavior flies in the face of all the articles about women being more judgmental of each other than men are of us. I can honestly say that I have never assigned another female a "score" or heard my girl friends do such a thing. I also have never given a guy a number. Everyone for me usually falls into one of four categories: unattractive, OK, pretty/cute or beautiful. Why complicate it?
Would you ever want to know if your significant other or another male in your life had ranked you based on looks? Have you ranked people of either gender before?
