I disagree. That is a disgustingly dystopian idea, that there's any objective, universal criteria for how to quantify and rank people's value or attractiveness.

Using a quantifiable measure like matching success on dating apps is bogus to me. Matching success doesn't correspond with a person's real-life value or attractiveness, which is dynamic and highly subjective. And a photo (or dating profile) doesn't nearly capture a complex human being in the first place.

Science has allowed humanity to understand a lot, but let's not have the hubris to believe we've cracked the mysteries of what makes people fall in love with each other. As a queer person I guess I've thought about this more than most people, since the women I'm most attracted to are often wildly different from the women heterosexual men rank as the most "objectively attractive." I'm also attracted to androgynous people -- where the hell do they fall in the "objective" attractiveness hierarchy?

The answer is simple -- there is no hierarchy, because people's tastes vary immensely.
