Female Composite Images by Race (i.imgur.com)

These are nationalities, not races.
[–]HighlySpammable 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
It makes me wonder how big their sample sizes were if that's the skin tone of the South African.

[–]Chrysippos 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Indeed the average face was rated as the most attractive in some experiments. Also the Samoan woman looks like a model from Oblivion.

Oh, no you didn't, how cruel of you, I like you already

This is because studies have shown that symmetry is considered to be the most attractive of all physical features. Any composite picture will naturally be extremely symmetrical.
[–]bucknuggets 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
and I've read studies that showed that symmetry is considered to be attractive, but to achieve levels of extremely attractive a little bit of asymmetry is required.
[–]TheMarshma 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I think I know which one you were talking about, It didn't necessarily say you needed to be asymmetrical, just that your looks couldn't be one that everyone wanted, it had to be something that SOME people wouldn't be into, which would make you be into it more. They predicted it had something to do with being able to desire a mate that not everyone was competing for.
Assuming we're thinking of the same thing.
[–]mjd 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Also because the averaging process smooths out all the little skin imperfections.
[–]Merrydol 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
That's really neat! I'm a European/Chinese mix and found myself looking for my own features in there. (With limited success, but it was still interesting).
I think symmetry is contributing a lot to their attractiveness, quite possibly an artifact of averaging. Anyone know how many faces they used to make each image?

Oh, beautiful girl, what a gorgeous creature. Beautiful girl, let me call the preacher. What can I do, but give my heart to you ...

Germany looks to have a head shaped like a grape. Why is it that they're so much more...squished?

Where's American? Oh wait, we're mutts. I guess just mash them all together.
[–]Metatron 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
We're the mixtape of ethnicity.
[–]Pituquasi 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Most of the nationalities on that chart are mutts, even if you have to go back several hundreds of years if not thousands. Notice there were even a few "New World" nationalities thrown in there so I don't see why they didn't include Americans.
Did you notice how they included African-American? Compare their features with the other Africans. Notice the difference? That's because most of them have some Caucasian descent.
[–]Overgoat 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
We're the composite of all those others.
[–]for_realzies 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
TIL that south africans were white.
[–]Notaweasel 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Hi! white South African here, Both the Dutch and English have lived and fought each other in South Africa (The Boer War). Indeed, back in the day it was very controversial for a Dutch and English person to get married. Take my family for example, my grandfather on my mother's side was English and fought in WWII, whereas my grandfather on my father's side hated the British and refused to fight with them. I was born in Cape Town but moved away when i was young.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Being a former British and Dutch Colony, there are large numbers of Caucasian people. Charlize Theron is South African.
[–]help_me_comprehend 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
About 80% of South Africa's population is black. Only about 9% => white

[–]for_realzies 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
perhaps it's my ill-conceived notion that races developed over extended periods of time due to climate, etc, not the few hundred year domination of Europeans.
did you see the link? it's actually an Argentinian.
Ah, the link didn't show up in my mailbox

[–]HurricaneFloyd 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
There is a significant minority population of White South Africans. Apparently the cross sample was a bit towards the white.
[–]ysangkok -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
it's actually the argentinian average. explanation

My my my... I have to say: Welsh
[–]hideogumpa 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Greeg & Italian could be twins. Hot twins.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I don't look like any of these chicks. I'm my own little UN of ethnicities though: Italian & Scottish on my mother's side. Italian & Japanese on my father's side.
[–]macjeeves 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
And they're all smoking hot...
[–]Fabjance 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Welsh, Puerto Rican, Thai, Burmese, English, Filipino, French, Israeli, Russian, and Swedish. Mmmmm.
[–]Sir_Meowsalot 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I call shenanigans on South Africa.
Ah! Thank you. :)
Someone should organize this geographically, starting with the most northern latitudes at the top of the list, so we could compare similarities due to proximity.
[–]rogue_ger 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'm not believing this is real, at very least not real enough. All the faces look too... "individualistic". If it is a composite, the sample size is likely too small.
Also, apparently the sample size included only hot women.
[–]bucknuggets 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I think someone could be a woman from the age of 18 - 110.
I suspect that they excluded women over the age of 40.
[–]zyzzogeton 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I was expecting South African to be somewhat blacker.
