TAU student develops software that ranks facial attractiveness

Hmm... According to Haaretz, there is Tel Aviv University student who developed a software that ranks the facial attractiveness of women. This will help to solve the question of why some facial features are considered beautiful by most people.

Ladies - will you want to take a test of this software where do you rank ?

Apparently ladies judge men in a totally non-systematic way - this software cannot yet judge what sort of males are attractive and what are not - I guess this may leads to why ladies see a different perspective than men.

" The research revealed that faces considered beautiful are average - with no extreme facial characteristics. "The computer learned a mathematical function, however it implicitly learned to prefer average faces," Kagian says. He explained that although people have different opinions of beauty, a large enough sample group will identify a high level of agreement even involving subjects from different cultures."

So, what are the features that are considered most beautiful?? There was an experiment that asked hundreds of participants to rate the level of attractiveness of a smiling model, who turned her body around bit by bit. It was the most attractive when she was facing the audience directly. Anyway, anyone will instantly appear more attractive simply by smiling and looking to the other person eye-to-eye at the same time :)
