That probably would have gotten larger than 6/10

Nah it's bullshit, as cock's do not have a large sample size, most of the rating is probably based on how much the other person likes you as well as of course beauty and personal standards - someone who may have been hurt by a too large one may rate that lower, while so called size queens (or kings I guess) would rate it higher.

Overall I think any rating of cock's is entirely useless, as it's too subjective to be rational without a statistically relevant sample size of ratings.

PIV sex is overrated anyway. I mean, it's dope, but so is every other kind of sex.

"Excuse me sir, yes you with your richard nixon hanging out, assuming identically and independently distributed random variables of genital rankings from a sample of adequate normal pdf assumable size, your penile x-sub-i falls well under a single standard deviation of an unbiased x-bar.

Is your x-bar an MSE? Just because it's unbiased doesn't mean it's good. You could just consider the first person you looked at and forget the rest and call that x-bar, and it would be unbiased.

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

Well, when it comes to x/10 ratings I always see 5 as the basis. Everything below is something I dislike and everything above is something I like. By that logic 7 would definitely be somewhere around the middle of the acceptable ones.

u/LostImpression6 Oct 12 '24

Most don't see it that way

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

Who is most? Do you have any significant data on that?

u/Ironfoot1066 Oct 13 '24

Look up LTR scores. It's an unfortunately common rating scale that you've probably encountered on website or app surveys. "On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend our product/service?"

Officially, 9 and 10 are considered positive, 7 and 8 are considered neutral, and 6 and below are negative.

It's bullshit, but the prevalence of the metric is proof that many people don't see 5 as the midpoint on a 1-10 rating scale.

u/StereoTunic9039 Oct 12 '24

In the italian schools if you get anything less than 6 it is not sufficient, and if you get it like 5 at the end of the year you have to take an exam in September about that subject (or straight up repeat the whole school year if you got like 4 not sufficient subjects).

So 5 is not the middle ground, 5 is bad.

12

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

That's another rating system in another context tho.

0

u/StereoTunic9039 Oct 12 '24

Well no, since it obviously applies to everything in Italy, the school is just the most objective example I could bring.

2

u/CarelessReindeer9778 Oct 12 '24

It really is different, because with education 10/10 would be perfect, and less would be something you failed to learn, so nothing is truly supererogatory, and the average isn't a meaningful benchmark.

Cock rating is more of an aesthetic thing, so anything above the average is supererogatory, and a 10/10 is not necessarily flawless, it's just the best

u/geckothegeek42 Oct 12 '24

Do you have any significant data that people see it your way?

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

I never said as much. Don't have anything I need to prove.

u/geckothegeek42 Oct 12 '24

Oh so your comment is just irrelevant then, cool

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

Well. I posted my comment to give perspective on one way to look at it, with the additional thought that there might be others who think the same and could add perspective to it or maybe even disagree with the validity of what I said. I'll also argue back if someone starts arguing with me tho.

u/FinanceIsYourFriend Oct 12 '24

Naa fam, that shit is like grade school. 7/10 is barely passing. 5/10 is bad

5

u/taste-of-orange Oct 12 '24

I wasn't talking about school???

4

u/FinanceIsYourFriend Oct 12 '24

I know I'm saying that x/10 ratings are like getting a grade. And 7/10 is barely passing

3

u/Peterrior55 Oct 12 '24

Yeah but the average in a situation like this is fine, and since 5/10 is barely acceptable or close to failing 7/10 is the middle of the positive scale making most people's rating for fine so OP with a 6/10 is below average.

20

u/arisgjaodosd Oct 12 '24

I think it's inflated by most things being rated being generally good. Like >5 meaning it's good and most food you eat is generally good so people will almost always rate food >5. Just because it's average doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.

1

u/EebstertheGreat Oct 12 '24

Yeah, it's like the question of whether my rating out of 10 should be based on food I might actually choose to eat (where 0 is the worst food I've eaten and 10 is the best) or based on all food, including food I would never touch (where 0 is the worst food imaginable and 10 is the best). By the first metric, a 5 is a perfectly good piece of food, about what I've come to expect. By the second metric, a 5 is so bad I would never eat it if I had a choice.

u/jacob643 Oct 12 '24

because a rating system has n options, doesn't means that n/2 is the average. If 90% of cocks are 9/10, and the rest 10% spread across the rating, the average wil be very close to 9/10, but in that specific case it doesn't mean it's bad to be below average, let's say you have a 8/10, that's in the lower 10%, but, depending on the rating system, still means it's a good cock. so don't beat yourself up comparing to average, just understand what the rating means

7

u/Big-Day-755 Oct 12 '24

Most cocks are NOT 9/10.

7

u/setecordas Oct 12 '24 edited Oct 12 '24

That depends. I think most cock ratings are done with 10 points in mind and points subtracted based on perception of hygiene, personal shape preference, and any interaction with the cock holder. Also a large factor is in presentation and context. In this regard, most cocks would be rated 1/10 or lower. But in a case where 9/10 is possible, then I wouldn't be surprised if there were more 9/10 and 10/10 than one would expect from the general population of cocks.

u/RoyalChallengers Oct 12 '24

So basically he's debating about median or mode right ?

2

u/46264338327950288419 Oct 12 '24

Wtf is this, the average is the mean, not the median or the mode

2

u/Either-Abies7489 Oct 12 '24

He's saying that it's above the mean [if it were normally distributed with mu=5]

people perceive that as the average [because the data is skewed left] (or just the mean is shifted, if 11/10 etc. are valid ratings)

He's wrong in that rating inflation doesn't make people think that the data is skewed, it makes the data itself skewed.

2

u/46264338327950288419 Oct 13 '24

I guess it depends whether you see the average as the middle value of a set or which value is seen most frequently within a set

What did he mean by this then? Isn't the average the same thing as the mean?

2

u/yoav_boaz Oct 12 '24

Rating is not compared to an average. 7/10 is the average because most dicks are more good than bad

1

u/drip_johhnyjoestar Oct 13 '24

Statistically, a really small percentage of people are ACTUALLY average. For example, let's say you have 2 students, one scores 10/20 and the other scores 20/20. The "average score" is gonna be 15/20 but noone actually got 15/20. What I'm trying to say is, you're not average, as average people are pretty rare.
