Probably needs some work, mine tells 9,3 and I've never, not even once been approached by a female.. or it shows that a truly rotten personality cannot be fully captured in a picture ^_^ (or that the AI is horribly broken to recognize how well a picture was taken and now what's actually on it)..
I don't think this is the proper metric.

Females tend not to approach either way.

And it's fine.

It wouldn't be fun that way.

Not true, I've out with a guy and chicks were on that dude like flies on fresh dung :)
I'll take a wild guess that he was pretty tall, which is hard to figure out from a face portrait.
I'm ~2m tall, and have regularly get stared at jelously by girls in public (according to my gf when she walks beside me, I tend not to look at others), but I've never got approached before I've got a gf, so I guess I'm just unlucky.
It seems like what it can't do is "interestingness", I tried a picture of a fashion model who's ridiculously pretty but a little unconventional, looks a lot like a young Uma Thurman, and it gave her about a 7. I tried another girl who's very pretty but maybe not with the same "va-va-voom" thing and it gave her a 9. I tried a young Harrison Ford and he got a 6.6. Two different Audrey Hepburn glamour shots got a 10.0, but a movie still of her without the same lighting and eye makeup gave her a 7. A picture of a young Richard Gere got a 6.5.

I think maybe the problem is the data is based on what people SAY is attractive, which is maybe different than what their brain says is attractive, if that makes any sense. They're paying money to look at the fashion model, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere and Audrey without all the eye makeup yet they're only getting 6s and 7s.

Damn, it told me what I was fearing. :(

Have an upvote, but your website made me sad.

Really interesting! But it appears to me that it has a racial bias. I compared me (I am kinda ugly) with a dark skinned colleague (people consider him very attractive), and i had a score ~25% higher than his.

With other pictures i seem to obtain similar results (even with the AI failing to recognize some black faces).

This was the only problem for me, but very fun site :)

Will it work on a fetus? Maybe we can use this to proactively save them from their would-be miserable existence as a sub-7'er.

Think of the vast amounts of suffering that would be spared, and the huge burden on society that would be lifted. /s
