Yeah, this is actually what I was going to post - all the scientific work I've seen done on attractiveness suggests that it's in fact balance and symmetry that matters "most" on the whole.
This would perhaps indicate that a balanced (middle-toned) complexion and 'mixed' features that do not sway wildly toward any extremes would fit within the 'symmetry' model (if we allow it to extend to balance as well, which I think is reasonable) - but that seems like a side note of sorts to the actual phenomenon.
This is why the citation is interesting to me - it's a causation/correlation thing, I'd like to see how the study was performed and what the conclusions were. It's a very interesting topic.

Yeah, I'll find it if I can  Everything you're saying is spot on, and I agree that it might be the balance of features between extremes. Perhaps also an indication of a well mixed gene pool? I wish I could remember off the top of my head.

There was an article about how they'd proven that symmetry was wrong. I can't find the link and I don't remember where I read it but it's out there.

--I think the link between blowjob enthusiasm and beauty is definitely clear and valid.

OK - I'll look when I have a minute.
Also, enthusiasm =/= looking up at you, amirite? AMIRITE?

AlphaFrog - pulling the adorable children card, eh? Not scientific, but too, too cute. My daughters had dresses like that one once upon a time - I'm going to my room to cry about my 17 year old daughter leaving next year . . .
