Average attractiveness of female faces across the world
This thread is in response to all the nasty threads comparing international female beauty.
I believe that women are just beautiful in general and that some races are underepresented in the UK because it is fundamentally a "white" country with it's own perception of beauty, which is fine but shouldnt be thought of as a global standard by any means.
This is not a representative sample of each country to make it 100% accurate, but still a nice indication on first impressions that most youngish women are perhaps more attractive than I thought regardless of race even as an average. Some of the faces look really similar though.
I'd like to hear your own opinions and criticisms. One criticism is that the software they are using to work out average images might be a pile of pants. Original source website link included.
Talk, my pretties!

Seems pretty generous/optimistic to me.
The average person of african descent is not as attractive as have been represented on those images.
Why the negs, do you really think that's what the average black girl looks like? Same goes for the people of the other nationalities.

How can you as an individual prove that?
If they have selected 100 people in the same way from each country, thats the results they have. How can you argue that? If one's wrong, they're all wrong is what I'm trying to say.
Being a bit pedantic here with spelling here but it was irritating me. Represented.

I'm on my phone, typos are bound to happen. That being said you do look a bit like the west african person, but blacker.

No way! Look at the Israeli and Italian!
That's AVERAGE attractiveness? I highly doubt it. Either that, or I'm living in the wrong area.
And don't make us males out to be chauvinistic pigs. Sure, we judge females based on their looks, because it's hardwired into our brains to do so. Females do it too, y'know. And sometimes it's mean.

They can be so mean! 
that is not the "average" attractiveness of women from each country
it is just what you get when you take all the female faces and combine them into one
therefore the anomalies that make women less attractive are cancelled out
if you took a sample of 1000 ugly women and combined them into one face like they did here, you would also end up with an attractive female face since all the anomalies that make women unattractive get cancelled out, it doesn't mean that the average female of that group is actually attractive

When it comes to men I have my own ideas on what I like to be honest. You can take the stereotypical male beauty thing of being highly muscled and square jaw and shove it. I like my men average height, skinny and androgynous looking with crazy hair.
Convention can kiss my black ass.
I hate men's men.

Good comment but which other way do you suggest is a better way to find an average of the faces they sampled?

Agreed. I think she's really fit!
Original post by CharlotteM/
actually, when you mix people's faces together, they look more attractive, because they lose their anomalies, which make people look less conventionally attractive. Being beautiful is actually about looking 'average' in a sense... So this is to be expected, really, but it can't be very representative of real women.
This thread doesn't interest me, but I wanted to point out this is wrong.
Mixing faces adds flaws aswell as attributes.

Defo the prettiest, although they're all pretty
And I agree with this ( minus the androgynous)
