Perfect Face Dimensions Measured Shania Twain: The perfect face?
Scientists believe they have worked out the dimensions of the most attractive female face. They say the key to the ideal arrangement of female facial features is the measurements between the eyes, mouth and ears. Applying their results, the Canadian pop singer Shania Twain was rated as having the perfect visage.
The study, led by the University of Toronto, appears in the journal Vision Research. The researchers asked students to rate the attractiveness of colour photographs of the same woman's face, laid out side by side. Using photoshop, the researchers altered the vertical distance between the eyes and mouth, and the horizontal distance between the eyes in each image.
Angelina Jolie does not cut the mustard.The features themselves never changed, just the distance between them, and the woman's face was only compared to her own. Following a series of experiments, the researchers came up with the most attractive length and width ratios between features. On length, the distance between a woman's eyes and mouth should be just over a third or 36%, of the overall length of her face, from hairline to chin.

I said exactly the same thing on a Tiger Woods thread and some people got snotty with me.
Oh you are a baaad boy
Hope that was meant as (rather weak) humor.
In which room are you asking about?
That’s true.
The one with the floor. Bed broke.
The camera has good sense.
I’ll eat anything she serves if she’ll let me stir ...
Oh my God that’s bad taste.
I’m off to bed.
‘night all.
However, claims of the significance of the golden ratio appearing prominently in art, architecture, sculpture, anatomy, etc., tend to be greatly exaggerated.
While the link was very thorough and correct, both mathematically and historically, the author of this apparently hasn't spent any time with real world application, of either geometry or any sort of visual art. Combine the two, and it's even more obvious. This sweeping statement, made without any source or support, is wrong. It's in everything with good proportions, natural or manmade. A car, a leaf, a church, a face. You name it, they all have Golden Section proportions in common.
The designers of Giza and the Parthenon knew this, Michaelangelo knew this, Frank Lloyd Wright knew this, and the architect of this world has always known it.
Ugh! Second reply. Not even a picture of Shania first. You heartless fiend.
I am stealing that one.
Beam me up.
You lost me in the first paragraph and wholly redeemed yourself with the last sentence. lOL
That’s LOL not IOL. LOL
