While I visited the place to give her a vote, I never got into ranking babes. Over the last 24 or so hours I've probably given a thousand votes. It's really easy. Additionally I posted two pictures. Given the transient nature of Hot or Not, I figure I can give some equally transient comments on my experience.
For what it's worth, 500+ votes got me a 4.2 for this pic:

I purposely did NOT post the Hot or Not link for my picture here in the forums as I wanted to see how I ranked as a babe to the semi-real world. I reported my age as 48, and ranked only women in the 40+ category.
Now for some observations.
I'M SO HOT
7 guys thought I was hot, and wanted to communicate with me. Here's the profile from one of them:
There are no words.Let me tell you something, I am not cool. I once hired a hobo to beat up one of my friends for 4 dollars. I like oysters and cheese sandwiches and trashing apartment rooms. I take pictures of random things. I grow half-mustaches with one sideburn.
CDs ON HOT OR NOT
It gets pretty easy to tell the CDs from the real women. Those that have profiles often reveal their orientation. Others do not, though in some cases it's clear these are guys. I saw our mand over there, and she had a very nice and well deserved high ranking. ^_^
SOME PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A S&*$ HOW THEY LOOK
I don't care about age or size. There are some beautiful older women over there, and some full-figure babes. There are also some dumpy women all over the size and age range.
Ya know, the site *is* Hot or Not. If you're going to post a picture there, you might want to pick one where someone is going to look at you and react positively from the lower part of the brain. Translated: If you don't think someone's going to want to jump on your bones from your pic, don't post it. Choose something where you look tasty, not vulgar.
MY VIEW OF HOT VERSUS EVERYONE ELSE'S
In most cases when I rated someone it was invariably lower than the current overall rating for the person. It takes alot for me to give someone a 10, though I gave a few. I gave some low ones too.
MY PERSONAL RANKING IS THEREFORE PROBABLY AROUND 3.5
If the visitors to Hot or Not are giving higher ratings than me, that would say I'd probably give myself around a 3.5 if I could objectively see myself. That's okay I guess, though the ones to which I gave low scores were generally in the vulgar range. (There's a difference between revealing and baring.) I'm pleased that overall to that group I look to be on the lower side of average. Not bad for a guy I guess.
HOT OR NOT IS ADDICTIVE
At least for the short term, I find it addictive and compelling to rate women. Boredom hasn't yet hit, but it is approaching. It's fun to see and admire beautiful women.
Okay, go at it. That's it for me for now.
