This software layers faces upon faces to come up with a composite average of what a typical woman likes like from a given country.

[CrackerJack]

hmm...strictly from this comparison I would pick English/Welsh/Greek favorably against Polish/Swidish/Latvian. From the Asian side I'd pick a Thai/Uzbek/Afghan.

All of them seem pretty bangable, maybe except the Samoan. Somehow most of them look better than 5s. I guess I have lower standards.

This demonstrates beautifully the concept of "average" features being the most attractive. Every country has a face probably considered way above "average" in the looks sense.

[scorpio]

There's no way those are "average" faces for any country. Those faces seem normalized to a 7 on a 10 point scale.

That software company is probably female-owned.

This article perfectly explains why those "average" faces are better looking than you would expect them to be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averageness


The German average seems to be the ugliest of all Caucasian women. I'm a bit surprised as I thought British women would take that spot. Russian and Romanian look the cutest. Irish women look the most masculine here.

Roissy had a funny post on this picture.

I think Greeks are the best. Why no American average? Would her face not fit in the frame?

[scorpio]

I concur, British women are the ugliest Caucasian women on average.

Haha. I'm guessing there's too much racial diversity to really come up with any meaningful average. The results only seem useful in a homogenous country.

Hungarian
Filipino
Italian (Because I know what that Greek face, which is nice, is usually attached to; an extremely short girl who is probably fat, with bad skin and lower-than-average hair)
Polish
Spanish

Rather than thinking of these composites as what an "average" woman looks like in these countries, I think it's a good way of getting an idea what a typical somewhat attractive woman looks like from this country. This might be what a typical 6-7 would look like in each place. Because of the averageness factor from the link I mentioned above, it makes the average woman look more attractive than she actually is.

I ran some sophisticated algorithms on my mainframe computer and came up with a composite for the average American girl.

   

[gringochileno]

The Peruvian girl is close to a 10 for me. I get a huge hard-on for Latinas with kind faces. The Puerto Rican's super-hot too. Fuck, I need to move to South America.

The Polish girl looks eerily like someone I went to high school with (yes, she's Polish).

[Aliblahba]

This is mega creepy. To think those faces are thousands of faces in one. I'm afraid to stare too long or my soul will be sucked into the picture.

This is scarier than the movie Candyman.

I'm seriously creeped out.

I am with you. Peruvian scored high on my list, Swiss goes second.

Peru is closer to Brazil... oughta go there some time!

this must be what the average hb 7-8 looks like.

no way that is what "most" females look like from said countries

When you average the faces out it hides all the flaws and asymmetries, so the "average face" of a group will be significantly more attractive than an average individual from that group.

HAHAHA, that's right on the money!

[Vicious]

The way this image has been composed we should only be looking at the shape of the face and features rather than the actual "look", the skin and complexion itself are not representative.

Also I've wanted to see this "to scale". The height between these girls will vary widely.

[username]

Fixed.

Italian,Greek & Russian =

[hydrogonian]

I don't even believe that a software has the ability to do this. I'd have to see it to believe it. Also, no way are they average. Normalized on a 7-10 point scale is right.

[Saladin]

South Indian, Irish and Samoan are both pretty damn ugly. Look at the jaw on the Irish one!

This gives you an idea how it's done:

This is another interesting one. It shows what humans would look like if you completely mixed all the races. I guess we'd all end up looking like something beween Native Americans and Cambodians.
