Both of these factors ...
On this (latter) metric, the most attractive ratio of leg to body for men (as seen by American women) is 1:1, [12] matching the 'four heads:four heads' ratio above.

Although the three faces look very similar, the so-called "exaggerated face" looks younger: a slimmer (less wide) face, and larger eyes, than the average face.
The aurofacial asymmetry is defined as the position of the face (mouth, nose and eyes) with respect to the mid plane of the axis through the ears. The asymmetry is expressed as an angle ( degrees ), i.e. by how many degrees facial landmarks (e.g. tip of the nose) or pairs of landmarks (e.g. inner corners of the eyes ( endocanthions are rotated ...
