What Does The Internet Consider Attractive?

This is a guest post from Just A Guy Thing: http://www.justaguything.com/what-does-the-internet-consider-attractive/
Sure, you see lots of hot girls on the Internet everyday. But do you ever wonder what other people consider attractive? You could go onto Hot or Not and see how individual women are rated.
Or you could do what one enterprising Flickr user has done and morph together dozens of Hot or Not photos, ranked by score, to get a composite of what the Internet thinks is attractive.
The women in the image you see above (created by Flickr user manitou2121) do not exist. They are a composite of approximately 30 faces taken from the popular Hot or Not website. The photos were sorted by rank, on a scale of 1 to 10, and then morphed together.
The purpose here is to get a general idea of what a large group of users on the Internet thinks is hot. So what do we learn from this? According to user manitou2121, “the low score images show that fat is not attractive. The high scores tend to have narrow faces.”
So which face do you find most attractive? Does it match the scores that other people have assigned to it?
Be sure to check out all of manitou2121’s photos on Flickr.

ah, interesting.
i find it extremely weary to do that stuff.
narrow faces can often be "long" faces though, like they have longer chins and higher foreheads. so those slightly creep me out. obv. fat isn't attractive.
sure
lol i think it's pretty accurate!
Wow, interesting.
@snapeful@xanga - You're shallow. You can be fat and have a pretty face, and you can be skinny and have an ugly face.
@Bongflower@xanga - Isn't this entire post an experiment in "shallow"?
these would actually be considered a lot "prettier" than those ratings. when you morph faces to take an average of features, the resulting composite tends to be viewed as more attractive. too many damn psych papers...
@Bongflower@xanga - determining pretty face/ugly face, regardless of fatness, is pretty shallow in itself. but i don't think shallow is necessarily bad.
i think i just scored a 6 or an 8 on the "what fake face does your face look like scale". i think i'll go with the 9 on personal preference, as she is somewhat tanner than the 10.
having a naturally "i look like i weigh 200+ pounds" fat face is both a blessing and a curse. no, wait, wait...just a curse. darrrrn. can anyone say myspace angles...I find every face in the 2nd and 3rd row attractive. I think the most attractive one is 7.5-7.9
Pretty accurate job this guy did. Though, once you get past 8.0, there's not a whole lot of difference. Personally, I find the 8.5-8.9 to be the most attractive of the bunch.
@supaflychikn@xanga - you wouldn't be talking about your own face there would you? Because fishing for compliments with bait like that is almost cheating.
Weird. I think 6.5-6.9 and 7.0-7.4 are the most attractive.
@Bongflower@xanga - Everyone is shallow to an extent. And I think she meant fat isn't attractive to the majority of people who vote on hot or not. Even if she doesn't find fat people attractive, so what? We all have our preferences.
As for the pictures umm, I think the 7.5 is most attractive. 9.5 looks like a vampire haha.
@mcmeister89 - cough. myspace angles. cough.
@supaflychikn@xanga - weird, i usually just photoshop...
Wow. Interesting how white the 10's skin looks.
Boobs are attractive.
@snapeful@xanga - I agree with Bongflower. You look skinny in your picture, but you've got an ugly face.
@Bongflower@xanga - yeah, but if you're fat = butterface, whcih isn't attractive. you need to lose that weight first.
I find 8.5 the prettiest vs. "the average". 9.5 is pretty but she has the "bitch look" (although I know they aren't real people)
I like the 7.5 best. This is an interesting study.
It's interesting to me how white the '10' is...
@snapeful@xanga - being a butterface means you have a nice body and a nasty face...so wouldn't being fat and pretty be the opposite? .-.
@milfncookies@xanga - True.
@kimtendo@xanga - imo, butterface means that you got a fat face yo. like a chubbier version of jessica alba's face.. girl is really cute and pretty but fat cheeks. it's cute on girls k. idk actually... a lot of asians are butterfaces. chubby faces.
@snapeful@xanga - hmmmmm i like you normally, so excuse me if i sound mean in disagreeing haha, but i do believe that "butterface" in its correct definition does mean, technically, "but her face", meaning that it's alllll goooood..but her face. she's all good, got a nice body, except for her face. i dunno, that's what it means around here anyway. i do, of course, still agree with you. fat girls gots no chance.
