Is your face beautiful?

A German University of Regensburg conducted a study on the characteristics of beautiful faces of men and women. The study looked at a selection of people ranked as attractive and unattractive. The researchers defined common features in both groups and as a result, created the prototypes of attractive and unattractive faces of men and women. Below are the findings of this research.



Characteristic features of the female “sexy face” in comparison to the “unsexy face”:

- Suntanned skin
- Narrower facial shape
- Less fat
- Fuller lips
- Slightly bigger distance of eyes
- Darker, narrower eye brows
- More, longer and darker lashes
- Higher cheek bones
- Narrower nose
- No eye rings
- Thinner lids

Characteristics of the male “Sexy face” in the comparison to the “unsexy face”:

- Browner skin
- Narrower facial shape
- Less fat
- Fuller and more symmetrical lips
- Darker eye brows
- More and darker lashes
- Upper half of the face broader in relation to the lower
- Higher cheek bones
- Prominent lower jaw
- More prominent chin
- No receding brows
- Thinner lids
- No wrinkles between nose and corner of the mouth

Do you agree with the findings?

I’d go for the “sexy” girl, the “unsexy” girl, and the “unsexy” guy. The “sexy” guy is not really to my liking; he looks like he should be in a Gilette commercial.

Not trying to be the “Devil’s Advocate” or anything here, I just want to say that all of you who are saying that you wouldn’t go for the “sexy” guy are pretty much lying to yourselves.
It doesn’t make you shallow to recognize beauty or like attractive people. On the flip side it doesn’t make you edgy or a “rebel” if you go for the “un-sexy” guy. This study is just making generalizations, there’s nothing wrong with that, and if you ask me, they’re pretty dead-on.

The ‘unsexy’ guy is more attractive.
