Oh there's a spectrum like anything else. I'll try to find it when I get home, but it was one of those attractiveness studies... Similarly you're more attractive if your face is more symmetrical.
(And I mean you in the general sense and attractive in an on the average statistical sense.)

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.

most people i know are attracted to people who look (generally) like them. tall people and tall people, light eyes with light eyes, etc. it makes sense but at the same time it's kinda gross. i have a good friend who is dating a girl that they could honestly go for brother and sister. yuck!

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.
-Rudey
--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 . . .

As a wise woman once said... If you've got it, flaunt it.
