New software tells you how attractive you are
Not only do we have the media making us all insecure about our looks, now our computer can do it too! SAWEET!
"Biostatisticians at the University of Nebraska, at Lincoln, have developed a computer program that predicts how attractive a face will be considered. The software employs an array of measurements on the geometry and symmetry of the face, like the proportions between the eyes, nose, ears and lips, which so many studies connected to formulas of the beauty."
For the development of the program they tested actual people, "18 men and 18
women aged 19 to 61. The subjects were presented images of 420 people randomly selected from the general population, 50% men and 50% women, and were put to mark the facial attractiveness on a scale of one to 10. "
"Attractive feminine faces had smaller chins, smaller noses and a larger inter-ocular distance. The data revealed that a smaller width of the mouth was perceived more attractive in women, challenging the "trout" lips preferred currently in the fashion world. Attractive male faces had equal vertical thirds and symmetry between the upper tips of the lips and the nose. "
