I love this part too. I think what he's saying here, from previous lines, is that everyone is always judging things based on a certain scale. He is asking someone here (I am assuming a woman), on a scale of 0-10 (where 10 represents Conor and 0 represents the exact opposite of Conor) what she prefers in a person (or partner), and if it's less than 5 then Conor doesn't measure up to her standards.
