Zip,
What is the difference between "cute", "handsome", and "hottie"?
cute: The guy either has that all-american look or he's got some good features. He better have a decent personality.
handsome: A more mature look. Good looking.
hottie: Salivation happens as a result of looking at him.
On the Hot Guy scale:
HG 6-7: Cute
HG 7-8.5: Handsome
HG 8.5-10: Hottie
I question the "cute" rating a bit. I've heard girls say "he's really really cute!" Why say that about somebody who's merely a 6 or a 7? Seems a bit much. Most people I know say "he's ok" or "she's ok" on that scale portion. I don't refer to HB 6-7 as cute..lol I usually say..."she's meh"..lol
Does a good body boost those numbers up? Let's say if HG6-7 has a incredible body, does he get boosted up in the HG-8.5-10 zone? Reason I ask is I've seen some ugly guys(or least girls told me they were ugly from neck up) with an incredible body that had HB 9's running after them constantly.
I'll use the example, my old work out partner had an incredible body. Most girls said he was fine from the neck down. (had a crooked nose from it being broken)
What would you rate him?

Darling: if a girl says "he's cute" it means he's not the best looking dude but good looking enough but redeemable. This is a fact that I'm comfortable with putting reputation on the line for. Plus, your HB scale is a bit harsh/inflated, comparably. HB 6.5 is cute. Not hot, cute. If you're saying "meh" to HB7s, dude, that's great. You are obviously on your way to PUGism. I shy away in your presence for my own HB rating surely couldn't be non-meh enough to even look you in the eyes!
Excellent point about the body. I'd say this guy is an HG 7 plus. I always rate the face numerically, and then add plus after to indicate he's got a rockin' bod. This is only what I do, but then again, I haven't yet seen other girls use the HG rating system at all. (of course this entire conversation is using the HB/HG scale as a rating for peers, not how I would calibrate my approach.)
The reason HB9's are going after these guys is because they are hard to get. They work hard so that they can "deserve" an upper echelon of women.
I'd guess in general, the body obviously bumps up the HG rating a bit as far as describing him on looks alone. Where the boost really matters is in how the girl would calibrate her attack on this guy. He's still an HG 7... but I'd calibrate him like an HG 9.
