    The "very objective" and "very well researched" taxonomy in question is the P.S.L. scale, named for three of the most infamous forums from the incel epoch: PUAHate (Pick-Up-Artist Hate), SlutHate, and Lookism. The P.S.L. scale has eight points and sorts men into three tiers: subhuman, normie (subdivided into low-tier normie, mid-tier normie, and high-tier normie), and Chad (subdivided into Chadlite, Chad, and giga Chad). The preponderance of the population can aspire to high-tier normiedom at best. The happy few with a score of more than 7.75 are quasi-religious figures, "True Adams," more legends than actually existing human beings. Per one popular guide to the P.S.L. scale, "this designation is reserved for mythical figures like Adonis or Apollo, as well as religious icons such as angels or prophets." The scientific pretensions of the looksmaxxing community are belied by its reverent term for those who have succeeded in scrambling even a small way up the scale: a man who becomes beautiful is said to have "ascended," as if he had been spirited up into the skies.

    women care about looks but not really. being a "chad" contributes to the autosexual package that induces womens narcissistic self referential arousal, but even a "true adam" wont have women genuinely lusting after him as an object.
