I was hping a few more people would respond. The point I was making that is if you ask 10 people what their criteria is, you will get 10 different points of view. This is why the rating thing can be fun but actually kinda silly.
I don't really rate them much, but when I do, I consider a pretty face and general femininity more than anything else, as long as the girl in the picture has at least some muscle.
I don't care about pic sizes or photography skills... I just rate muscle quality from my subjective point of view. And I prefer everyday "snapshots" over perfect photoshoot pics.
I know not everyone looks or posts in the forums but here goes anyway ...
What criteria do you use to give the pics a rating (or in my case if I WAS going to rate one)
I will start with my own observations
first thing I look at is pic size and the relative shot of the girl. I dislike contest photos because they are generally small and I have to get out my glasses to see any details (I'm an old fart)
The second thing I look at is attractiveness (personal opinion) and what does the picture do for the girl to make her look good or make the muscle(s) she is displaying stand out. Notice that she doesn't have to be in an active flex mode pose.
Maybe the last thing I look at is the actual quality of the muscle itself. In order, my favorite muscles groups are arms, then thighs then abs.
These are all personal opinions and I would like other people to try and write down what they look for.
is it possible to make categorizing of pics within your account? rating, views and some tags.
Not right now... that's a good idea for the future, though.
Chainer, is there possible to group photos by theme or by girl name?
If you want to look for pictures by theme, try the tags... I'm working on a search function for name as well, but that functionality is not available right now.
Hmm, let's look at some stats. This should be interesting :) The black girl in the first link has the following ratings (as of this post): 7, 0, 8, 3, 1. The last two are from the same person, but none of the others are repeated. (And yes, voting multiple times on a picture is against the rules, and repeat offenders who seem to do it on purpose (very easy to tell from my end) risk getting banned.) The 2nd girl (6418) has votes 10, 0, 8, 9. The same person who gave the first girl a 0 gave this one a 10.
This girl: http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/imgpage.html?imgid=8044 is lowly rated because she only has 2 ratings. One is an 8, the other a 1. Two ratings are statistically not significant enough to determine whether people like or dislike that image in general. It's possible that most people would rate it a 7, for example, but they just haven't voted on it and thus the rating remains low.
This black girl: http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/imgpage.html?imgid=7485 has ratings 7, 4, 3, 2, 6, and 8. The 3 and 2 are from the same person. (The person I mentioned before who gave the other black girl a 0 and then another (white) girl a 10 gave this a 4.)
My advice is, don't take the ratings too seriously. On average, I think they're a good way of telling whether an image is likely to be good (ratings of 8+), or whether an image sucks (ratings of 4 or below)-- but this is only true when several people have voted on an image, and even so, your own tastes might differ significantly from the tastes of most of the site's visitors. In any case, claiming that an image with a rating of 8 is inherently better than one with a rating of, say, 7, is foolish.
Jeez Chevron you could have picked a better example then some fully clothed girl pulling her shirt up a little bit that was a lame a$$ choice!! We are guys here and if the babe is fully clothed and barely showing she may get rated down.
Surprisingly the second link posted (6418) beat out 2250 others who happened to be from a multitude of races. Is the first link I posted underrated IMHO Yep! Is i because she is non-white. The jury is still out! If this is the case then why is lady below so lowly rated. http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/imgpage.html?imgid=8044
We all have different tastes, thank God! Just think of it this way Chevron, if we all had the same taste in women as you did you'd have nothing to choose from because they would all be taken.
Well there's a variety of haters out there.. not only colored women get rated down. Same if there's no face showing etc. I gave up getting all excited over ratings or stupid "who is she?" comments :D . Better just enjoy the pics.
Anyway, blocking guest comments and a policy that forbids posting links to personal myspace/bodyspace profiles might help a little in some cases. IMHO there's the need for some responsible moderators.
Anyone not offended by the sight of non-white female muscle should definitely investigate beyond the first few pages when in 'Highest Rating' mode ... you'll find some lovely pix downgraded to very low ratings because someone's bombarded them with zeros.
Thank you very much We appreciate your efforts. The site is great. We are waiting for the search function which should be a great addition to the site.
I'm really sorry for getting behind again... I just did an update with a zillion pictures (well, 600+).
The reason i get behind so easily is that the way the site works now is I have to approve every single image that gets submitted all at once, and they often get submitted faster than I have time to approve them.
In a week I'll have more time since I'll be on vacation, and I plan to change the code so that I can approve only a few of the images at a time, so that I can go back to updating daily with 30-40 images, and the rest would stay in the queue for the next days (as opposed to what's happening now, which seems to be an update with 300+ pictures at unpredictable intervals).
I also plan to add a search function where you'll be able to search for pictures based on the model's name and what's said in the comments, so keep an eye out for that... it's been requested by several people.
Anyway, sorry again, and enjoy the 600+ new images.
If I recall correctly, Chainer stated early on that this was an experiment in writing some code...a learning experiance as it were. Perhaps lost interest, perhaps busy with other matters. Whatever. The effort is to be appauded. Maybe others would like to pick up the continuance of the site? Thoughts?
Chainer, I think you've been doing a great job with this site. If real life causes you to get a little behind with the updates, so be it. Since none of us is paying for your service, we shouldn't complain. Rather, we should be thanking you for doing whatever you can do. Take care.
Astounding how often pix of women of color get routinely marked down -- wonder if it's the same person(s) who routinely award(s) zeros to ab-shots? I guess the quickest way to get a pic directly onto page 145 of 'Highest Rated' is to post a shot of a black woman's abs ...

Now if you were whining about this girl below, you might have a case. (very well balanced BTW)!:
http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/imgpage.html?imgid=7596
Somehow she has a lower rating then this girl:
http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/imgpage.html?imgid=6418
But surprisingly girl above also beat out the following mix:

We also have the other following oddity that this girl in her sweats and tee shirt rolled up:

Beat out this girl by a 0.1 of a point, which may cause me to have a heart attack if saw her in the gym:
