“If you get a job as a lifeguard, put on some cologne, and walk on the outside of the sidewalk, you could start out at a half point, be a literal Muppet, and move up to Chris Hemsworth,” he said.
But for every supportive TikToker making the trend their own, Mary said there is a troll or hater commenting that she and her sister are 5s.
“They feel they need to go out of their way to directly judge us, instead of them just not taking it personal, a hypothetical that they might fall into,” Mary said.
Like other trends, there has been some backlash — with this game, it’s mainly people taking issue with men playing it, since dating is often a misogynistic nightmare. TikTok users have even begun to make satirical videos of men taking part, such as “She’s a 10, but she’s a girl. Zero” and “She’s a 9, but she, like, respects herself.”
But the Woods sisters are OK with anyone joining in, as long as they’re respectful.
“If it’s about body shape or things like that, it’s like, no, that’s just mean,” Leah said, noting that they deliberately wanted the game to be lighthearted. “If it’s something funny, then I think guys are totally able to play it because that’s how we’ve kept it. We’ve kept it funny and we’ve kept it things that 99% of the time, you can change.”
