Female PSL Scale Chart: Every Tier From Sub 3 to True Eve
The female PSL chart uses the same 0–8 scale as the male one, with 4.0 as the average. Only the names change. Looksmaxxing communities sort women into sub 3, LTB, MTB, HTB, Stacylite, Stacy and True Eve, from bottom to top. As GQ puts it, the female hierarchy "swaps 'Becky' for 'normie' and 'Stacy' for 'Chad'". Below are the tiers, what they mean, and why different charts disagree.
Female PSL chart at a glance
The most common banding in community rubrics (the same cut-offs are used for the male chart):
| Tier | PSL range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Sub 3 | below 2 | The bottom of the scale in community charts. |
| LTB (Low-Tier Becky) | 2–3.5 | Below average in community terms. |
| MTB (Mid-Tier Becky) | 3.5–5 | Average. Community guides say most people land here, with 4.0 as the midpoint. |
| HTB (High-Tier Becky) | 5–6 | Above average. |
| Stacylite | 6–6.5 | Clearly attractive; often compared to commercial models. |
| Stacy | 6.5–7.75 | Rare, striking looks in community terms. |
| True Eve | 7.75–8.0 | The theoretical ceiling of the scale. |
Treat the ranges as conventions. Online they are presented with more precision than they really have.
Female PSL tier names explained
Sub 3 and sub 5
"Sub 3" is the lowest band. "Sub 5" is used more loosely for anyone below the upper-middle of the scale, and some guides call everything under 5 "sub 5". Both labels come from the harsh end of looksmaxxing slang, and outside those forums they are mainly used as insults.
Becky tiers: LTB, MTB, HTB
"Becky" is the female equivalent of "normie", the ordinary majority. LTB (Low-Tier Becky) is below average, MTB (Mid-Tier Becky) is the average band around 4.0, and HTB (High-Tier Becky) is above average. One summary describes Becky as roughly the middle 50%, around 5 out of 10 on a casual scale. A forum answer puts the average non-celebrity woman at roughly 3.5–4.5 PSL. Finer charts, such as the Aesthetica Index wiki, split each band further (LTB-, LTB, LTB+ and so on).
Stacylite and Stacy
Stacylite and Stacy mirror Chadlite and Chad. Stacylite is "clearly attractive", often compared to commercial models. Stacy is the striking, rarer tier, described in summaries as roughly the top 5–10% or about 6–8 on a 1–10 scale. You will also see "GigaStacy" at the top end.
True Eve
True Eve is the ceiling: an idealised, near-flawless standard usually placed in the top 1%. Read the full explainer on what True Eve means.
Why charts give different numbers
There is no official female PSL chart. Three published versions, side by side:
| Tier | Rubric A | Rubric B | Rubric C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub 3 / LTB | below 2 / 2–3.5 | 1–3 | 1.0–2.5 (sub 3) |
| MTB | 3.5–5 | about 4 | 3.0–4.5 (Becky) |
| HTB | 5–6 | about 5 | 4.6–5.7 |
| Stacylite | 6–6.5 | about 5.5 | 5.8–6.9 |
| Stacy | 6.5–7.75 | 6–6.5 | 7.0–8.0+ (with True Eve) |
| True Eve | 7.75–8.0 | – | 7.0–8.0+ |
Rubric A is the banding used on this site. Rubric B is from a PSL blog post on women's ratings. Rubric C is a Google AI summary of community charts. The tier order is the same in all three; the cut-offs move by up to a full point.
How the female PSL scale is judged differently
The scale is the same, but community guides say the emphasis shifts. Instead of heavy jaws and angularity, female ratings lean on:
- The eye area, which one guide says "carries the highest weight" for women: eye shape, a slightly positive canthal tilt, how open the eyes look, brow shape.
- Facial harmony: symmetry and balanced facial thirds.
- Neoteny (youthful features) and softer proportions: a softer jawline, fuller lips, higher cheekbones.
- Skin quality.
Some guides attach precise "ideal" angles and symmetry percentages to each tier. There is no clinical evidence behind those figures, and they say nothing about how attractive real people find each other.
PSL scale for women vs men
The two charts are mirror images: Becky ↔ Normie, Stacylite ↔ Chadlite, Stacy ↔ Chad, True Eve ↔ True Adam. The male scale puts more weight on dimorphism and angularity (jaw width, brow ridge, chin projection). Compare with the male PSL scale chart.
PSL (male gaze) vs Appeal (female gaze)
Rating communities sometimes contrast the PSL score, framed as a "male gaze" bone-structure rating, with "Appeal", framed as the "female gaze", meaning how attractive someone comes across overall. A Reddit thread titled "Appeal (Female Gaze) vs PSL (Male Gaze)" debates exactly that. Even inside the subculture, then, a PSL number is not treated as the whole story.
Why these charts are not objective
Critics describe True Eve and PSL charts as arbitrary and pseudoscientific. Even on Reddit, a thread asking "How accurate is this rating guide for women?" drew more than 100 comments arguing over the tiers. Forums often attach real women's photos and names to each tier. We deliberately do not: rating real people is unfair and can be harmful. Attractiveness depends on culture, personal taste, expression and personality, none of which a chart captures.
FAQ
What is the PSL scale for girls?
It is the same 0–8 PSL scale used for men, with 4.0 as the average, but with different tier names: Becky instead of Normie and Stacy instead of Chad. From bottom to top it runs sub 3, LTB, MTB, HTB, Stacylite, Stacy and True Eve. Community guides also say it weights the eye area, facial harmony and youthful features more, and angularity less. It is meant for adults and is not a scientific measure.
What is a bad PSL score?
On the community's own terms, anything under the 4.0 average counts as below average, and scores under 3 fall into the "sub 3" tier. Those labels come from a deliberately harsh online subculture. They reflect a narrow set of facial measurements, not how attractive, likeable or valuable a person is.
Is a PSL score of 5.3 good?
On the PSL scale, where 4.0 is average, 5.3 is above average. Most community charts put it in the High-Tier Becky (HTB) or High-Tier Normie (HTN) band. Cut-offs differ between charts, so treat any decimal score as a rough guess.
What is a good PSL scale?
If you mean a good PSL score: community summaries call 5 above average and 6 or more uncommonly attractive. Upper tiers such as Stacy or Chad (around 6.5 and up) are described as rare. Because 4.0 is defined as the midpoint, most people score 3.5–5, and that is normal.
Is being a 7/10 attractive?
On a casual 1–10 scale, yes. Summaries of popular looks scales describe 7 as the point where someone is clearly good-looking: above average, though not "model tier". A casual 7/10 is not the same as PSL 7, which on the harsher PSL scale is near the ceiling.
