The Swedish one is the prettiest, IMO.

Do those faces in the picture look above-average to anyone else, or just me?

The 'average' girl is not that attractive, at least not where I live… is the "average" marker misleading?

an average morph does not connote an "average" girl. rather the science of attraction says that we are attracted to those who display the most "average" (tehnically, the mean) facial metrics within a population, that is to say, the one that possesses the mean inter-eye distance, nasal length, philtrum length, etc is one we find to be most attractive. the problem is though, very few within a population actually possess the combination of all these average facial metrics, therefore, the "average" girl is much less attractive than the "average" morph, which is given to be mean of the all metrics w/in the population.

I guess it's official; the Welsh are the darkest in the Isles.

english and scots arent that much lighter at all.. natural blond girls are much more common in germany than anywhere in the UK, let alone anywhere else in northern europe

swiss morph isnt that bad either, nothing alpine about it..

Welsh looks to me very close to spanish morph, nothing like swedish morph though....

That makes sense; that must be the reason why the girls in the pictures look "above-average" in appearance, due to the morphology of sexually attractive features into a standard mean.

Are the females randomly being sampled, and are "ugly" women considered into the samples?? Because all a scientist would need to do, is, cherry-pick women from the particular population at the start. Or is this not 'scientific' but just focused on morphology (computer) software?

it's possible that the author cherry picked only good looking samples to make his morph. i don't actually know the source of this image.


however, there is poster, Herauscorritse, who does these morphs (for now, they're mostly european). He looks for faces of people with surnames endogenous to a particular region and does morphs of them, and he seems to be fairly unbiased in regards to the attractiveness of the faces in his sample (indeed, some of them are quite unattractive). but the results always seem to look more or less quite attractive.


his european morphs

and the ones he has done for various departements of france

pretty interesting to peruse, though i warn you, you may lose many hours on this site.

It looks like some of the pictures' aspect ratios have been squished (see Iranian, Indian, Greek, German, Centra African, African American, Thai...)

Also, the fact that these morphs look attractive is probably not only due to the morphin process. The ones for several countries, especially European ones have unusually angular features which makes me think that at least a significant part of the sample is made out of models.

As of personal favourites, I'd have to say Indian, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, South African (lol though) and Greek. The Hungarian also has something going on about her, in a more old school kind of attractivity.

[Amomiamup]

The peruvian woman is far too caucasian, giving that the population is 15% Euro, 37% Mix, 45 Indian

[mikajuise]

My top ten:

1) Peruvian
2) Swiss
3) Uzbeck
4) Greek
5) Polish
6) Russian
7) English
8) Israeli
9) Italian
10) Indian

[paypaltoegold1]

For me, the prettiest are (not in order):

Uzbek
Greek
Peruvian
Finnish

There are of course differences between peoples: Spanish more often have long nose and short gap between the nose and the mouth (like Penelope Cruz); this I find unattractive. In Northern Europe, nose is more often shorter and the gap between the nose and the mouth longer than in Spain. Probably our own face also determines which type we find attractive...

Or differences, at times. People seem to like what is most similar to them or what is a bit exotic. The Spanish average was too plain for me. There was nothing about "her" that stuck out to me. Perhaps she was too familiar to me.

[DoctorIrokezov]

I get a similar thing, the French one is easily one of my least favourites.

[t78VPkdO]

I like puertorican(obvious)mexican, peruvian and west african

[aliceingoogs]

Welsh,Italian and Polish are tappable,on the rest I agree with solkiM,in general europeans didn't show up that well.

[SAUNDERSAN]

My only comment is that the Filipina "woman" doesn't look Filipina to me (looks more southern Chinese). The Cambodian one looks more what I think of as Filipina.

[Vobomei]

The facial features of the Israeli and the Italian morphs look very similar, but the Israeli has a longer and narrower head. The Finnish morph and the Swedish morph look very much alike, despite the impression I got reading these forums. My favorite overall, is the French morph.

I agree, I would like to know where they got those samples from.

[juyrett]

they maybe got them from Arequipa.

No, the Italian morph is closer to the Greek morph.

[AALee]

No, the Italian morph is closer to the Greek morph.

I don't think it looks like either, really, but in particular I think it looks nothing like the Israeli. Definitely more like the Greek. That's why I suspect it may be a southern Italian average. So, yes, it would help to know where they got it from...
