I'm glad all of you are far more intelligent than the man who conducted this research and have so easily disproved his conclusions using such impeccable scientific methods that it simply is not up for debate.

Personally, I think the Korean one seems a bit weird, not really what I would imagine. I'm Chinese but I like the Caucasian one the most, maybe because I've lived in America all my life. The Chinese one is decent.

So what would the face look like that's combined from all of these?

But yea I don't think there is any "golden rule" to how to be optimally beautiful. Maybe it is useful for a plasticsurgeon to get the trendy ratios, but it's totally bound to the fashion/culture of the moment. There are some things that could be said to be objectively attractive, like having symmetrical features and such, but beyond that it's in the eye of the beholder...
If you have to ask, you don't know.

what the hell. cosmetic plastic surgery is art, not science.

They are composite images which means they have combined the pictures of multiple women. It has been noticed that "average" faces are more attractive for some reason. You can search the web for more of that. Using actresses and models is unnecessary. Just use a lot of randoms collected from the street and you get similar results.
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.

No way that woman is an "average" for an african face. Definitely looks mixed. Japanese seems way off too. Everything else could be true I guess.

I think a better point is that just like with Japanese, Chinese, or Korean compared to just Asain, there are also smaller ethnicities within Caucasian and African which the author seems to ignore.

good try

And trust me, when someone speaks of African women they don't mean Egypt or Iran.

The Chinese one is very beautiful. The African one is very exotic. The Korean one is not my type.

I figured some quotes from the guy might help. The second link includes a list of all the faces used for each of the composites.

2006: The Average Korean Attractive Face
http://www.springerlink.com/content/1001415w22181672/
Two facial photographs were fused into one at mean values. The composite picture, then, sequentially mixed with other composite pictures to produce a final composite face.


2010: Attractive Composite Faces of Different Races
http://www.springerlink.com/content/e175751w73028088/
Although these composite faces are not the standard or most ideal attractive faces, and although many biases occurred during the process of photographic sampling, I regard these as good examples for understanding prior and current configurations, balance, harmony, or the secret of attractive faces of different races.


I would love to see a couple of composites mixed from all 5 groups.

Since someone asked about preference, I think I prefer the African composite and I'm Caucasian.

But that's how the author seems to have built that image: mixing pictures from Nigeria and Ghana and Kenia and whatever with pictures from Algeria and Morocco and Egypt etc.

they're not just ANY pictures.. they're specifically pictures of african celebrities. probably took pictures of african american celebs. so they'd look more like this.

which is not far off from the ideal composite created.

Yeah, this African face looks like Halle Berry or Beyonce.

Where did you read that? It says he combined faces of African celebs, including Rihanna, Yasmin Warsame, etc.

Well, I'm of Chinese descent and the Chinese one appeals to me the most. Statistically insignificant, but hey.
