Remember, human beings self-select based on individual preferences.
Researchers testing preferences have overlapped multiple faces of many different races to come up with a "generic" human face, and then tested to see whether this face is more or less attractive than any given human face. Surprisingly, this "average" face is considered quite attractive.
Women are more attracted to "masculine" faces when ovulating.
Human beings are very interesting creatures.

"Women are more attracted to "masculine" faces when ovulating." Yes, I read that...and attracted to less masculine at all other times.

I've seen that study. Interesting to notice that certain clues indicate health and fecundity- facial symetry, clear skin, long legs.

Would you happen to have a link?
