Yesterday in psych class we talked about what makes a person physically attractive. According to extensive research on facial features that are universally attractive across many cultures, here's what's up:
women= delicate features, large eyes, high eyebrows, wide smile, etc etc etc. the list goes on and on and on. Apparently it takes a lot to make a girl pretty.
men= a large chin
I'm not kidding. According to many studies, this was apparently the only universal characteristic for male attractiveness. A chin, really?! As a very scientific example, my professor had us stare at pictures of Brad Pitt on his Powerpoint to illustrate the point.
I'm not sure I buy it. And why do men get off the hook so easily?
