The 32-composite face was the most visually attractive of all the faces. [1] Many studies, using different averaging techniques, including the use of line drawings [15] and face profiles, [16] have shown that this is a general principle: average faces are consistently more attractive than the faces used to generate them.
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. A Japanese study using the former metric found the same result for male attractiveness but women with longer legs than body were judged to be more attractive. [13] Excessive ...
Women judge the faces of men who are heterozygous at all three MHC loci to be more attractive than the faces of men who are homozygous at one or more of these loci. Additionally, a second experiment with genotyped women raters, found these preferences were independent of the degree of MHC similarity between the men and the female rater.
Facial bilateral symmetry is typically defined as fluctuating asymmetry of the face comparing random differences in facial features of the two sides of the face. [4] The human face also has systematic, directional asymmetry : on average, the face (mouth, nose and eyes) sits systematically to the left with respect to the axis through the ears ...
Keating et al. said that the more neotenous white male, white female and black female faces elicited more help from people in the United States and Kenya, but the difference in help from people in the United States and Kenya for more neotenous black male faces was not significantly different from less neotenous black male faces.

Women with a 0.7 WHR (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are rated more attractive by men in various cultures. [27] Such diverse beauty icons as Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and the Venus de Milo have ratios around 0.7; [57] this is a typical ratio in Western art. [58]
But, we digress. According to Business Insider, these are the physical traits that women find most attractive: - Muscles - Significant beard stubble - Men who wear the color red - Symmetrical features
Chernoff faces, invented by applied mathematician, statistician, and physicist Herman Chernoff in 1973, display multivariate data in the shape of a human face. The individual parts, such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose represent values of the variables by their shape, size, placement, and orientation.
