register first. During the signup process you will be prompted to upload a photo. If you're already registered click on "

Q: What types of photos can I upload?
A: The photo must be of yourself. We recommend that no other people are in the photo, but if there are, it must be obvious who you are in the photo (an arrow pointing to you, or a piece of text labelling you is sufficient). Photos not of yourself, of copyrighted, trademarked, illegal, or similar material will be rejected. Nudity is not allowed on our site, please visit
AdultRatePeople.com (coming soon) instead.
Q: Can I have more than one photo?
A: Currently only one photo is allowed at a time, but collages are allowed if reasonable.

A: We approve photos a few times each business day and often once a day on non-business days. If your photo is not approved, we will email you a rejection letter so you can upload a different photo.
Q: How do I change my photo?
A: Simply
upload a new photo and it will replace your current photo. Remember, your rating will be reset when you upload a new photo.
Ratings
How do I see my own rating?
Log on to our site, and click on "My Rating" in the menu.
How do I reset my rating?
Your rating is reset by uploading a new photo. (If you would like to reset your rating and keep the photo you currently have, just re-upload the same photo.)
I have a rating that should place me on the top list, why am I not listed?
In order to be listed on our top lists, you must have a minimum number of votes, and login at least once every 10 days. If you do not see yourself listed, it is because you have not yet received the required minimum number of votes, or you have not logged in during the last 10 days.
Is there any way users can see who gave them what rating?
Unfortunately, no. There is no way for us to do this as people are not required to be logged in to vote on your photo/profile, thus we have no way of tracking all the votes.
How do you guys calculate the ratings? I've tried everything, and I can't figure it out!
Votes are normalized, averaged, and then placed on a curve to determine the ratings. Also, males and female ratings are normalized, calculated, and curved separately.
Other/Misc.
