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."
