You're all lovely, don't let a bunch of self-indulgent little girls tell you otherwise. ;) … the women who rated the four men in the photos as being “unattractive” up there, are morons.

Will they even need to post a picture? Wow what a boring world that will be. Most women aren't very attractive. Thus, what's most attractive to me these days is if they don't have an STD. More men need to think like myself. What happens when the human race blends into a single shade and look? Will they even need to post a picture? Wow what a boring world that will be.

I guess we know your type. I prefer the darker hair with olive complexion also. Not the same for the guys in the pictures though, each of them has a different look as though you were more random.

I would pay to find out where you guys have me ranked. Heck I would pay a monthly fee if there was a feature on this site that can let you search by ranking I am insulted that I was not one of the dozen asked.

Also, comparing beauty standards by how the opposite sex rates them says nothing. You have to consider how much work went into those photos. The guys could easily have woken up, ruffled their hair, and shot a pic. For women it's a lot different. You'll get called out for "looking like a man" if you don't wear enough makeup, do your hair, or shave your legs. THAT is the discrepancy in beauty standards, and it's very real.

Doesn't strong statistical results imply people have accurate self assessmnent of their own looks? "In the upcoming posts in this series, we’re going to control for attractiveness.." Does wearing a papier mache mask actually work? For some user-insight, let's interview Pat Robertson...
