In a woman it varies form man to man (or woman to woman lol).

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that's what I personally believe...though I've heard that beauty has something to do with being symmetrical :s-smilie:

simplicity, symmetry. I don't find humans beautiful.

Probably down to personaly preference, but i watched shows that say its down to symmetry, and shape of face fitting into certain areas. Il see if i can find the grid that they used.

It says if yu try and mold your eye brows and such into it, it makes your more attractive.

But still beholder and stuff :biggrin:

here we are. Its not obviously 100% true though, maybe my brain does this without me noticing, to a degree.

*sigh* How can you come close to answering something like that without writing a thesis? You can't really define some subjective construct, barely makes sense to even try. There's so many angles to view it from as well, as a social thing, a statistical thing etc.

Generally speaking if you're talking about physical attractiveness in humans it's as well to say: If you find something beautiful, then it's beautiful.

If you get to know someone well enough you'll find beauty one way or another, I guess.

I agree with you about the eye of the beholder... and about the symmetry.

I read that stereotypical beauty i.e. facial symmetry has something to do with the Golden Ratio - the faces dimensions being in a certain ratio which is meant to be a standard measure of all things beautiful (not just humans).

I find people who don't start threads fishing to be called attractive good looking.

Oh and you already answered this question in your other thread: yourself.


Sorry by the way I am in a terrible terrible mood. :smile:

Apparently the golden ratio thing applies to pretty much the whole body. Like length of torso and head: total height. The ratio of the sides of the pentagon formed when you smile with your mout open. The ratio of arm: forearm etc etc.


Another thing: totally average faces are HOT. By which I mean, if you get 100 men or women, and create one face by putting them all together (don't know details of how that is done), the person formed is invariably stunning.

golden ratio or no golden ratio, you're all ugly.

hes a male grid of what your talking about if you want to overlay it and see. It should be transparent
I did it and it fitted quite neatly over my features, but my chin was way off, so no ones perfect. Well not me anyway:biggrin:

how do you make that work?

the grids remind me of Transformers, beautiful as they may be, beauty is definately no robot matter.

it will take a little skill

Right click the picture, and chose save picture as.
Then you need some photoprogram such as photoshop to overlay it on a straight picture of your face.
