- The idea of attractiveness is fairly subjective. Different sources would likely utilize different algorithims to determine attractiveness, which would therefore likely result in different rankings.
- In a ranked system, lower numbers equate to higher rankings, which are preferable when tracking positive qualities (such as attractiveness).
