Everything the app does not explain on screen. Read what interests you, in any order.

  1. How your rating is calculated

    Your LooksLadder rating places your facial geometry on a scale from 1 to 10, against a reference for your sex and age. Every step of the calculation, the criteria, and what the rating does not measure.

  2. The criteria, one by one

    The criteria behind the LooksLadder rating, what each one measures on your face, and their weights read live from our server.

  3. The seven tiers, from Sub-3 to Chad

    Sub-3, Sub-5, LTN, MTN, HTN, Chadlite, Chad: what each LooksLadder tier means, and where their bounds come from.

  4. The 1v1 duel: mog or get mogged

    How a LooksLadder duel works: your photo against another player’s, judged by real people who do not know it is a duel, elo per season, and the vote count that decides it.

  5. Voting: real people rate you

    LooksLadder voting: other users rate you from 1 to 10 without knowing who you are. How it works, who can take part, and what happens to your photos.

  6. Glow-up: what the research really says

    Sunscreen, sleep, beard, facial fat, mewing, haircuts: what the studies prove, and what the LooksLadder rating can and cannot see.

  7. Why rescan every two weeks

    Why LooksLadder suggests a new scan every two weeks, what can change between two scans, and how to compare them without fooling yourself.

  8. How the scan reads your face

    Two or three guided photos, 468 points computed on your phone, a pose gate: how LooksLadder measures your face without sending your photo.

  9. What your rating is really worth

    Two published validations with their intervals: what the LooksLadder rating captures, what it misses, and who it does not work for yet.

  10. What leaves your phone

    What LooksLadder sends to its server and what stays on your phone, feature by feature: scan, duels, voting, profile photo, analytics.
