BTW, what's interesting about the averaging technique, is that in studies of attractiveness, perceptions of attractiveness tend to be higher for averged over actual faces.

Then there's another related line of research that looks at masculinized or feminized faces; fem'd female and male faces are generally considered more attractive; the masc'd faces (espe males) are viewed as ugly cavemen.

That said, there is also some evidence that women find maculine faces more appealing when they are fertile; the rest of the month they prefer pretty boys (i.e., fem'd male faces).

Moral: Pretty boys will get lucky more often, but tough guys will probably have more offspring. Go figure.

As to weight, it's mainly in America where everyone's a heffer...
