Now some faces with very good symmetry:
“Studies have shown that facial symmetry is one of the best observational indicators of good genes and healthy development and that these traits are what we mean when we say someone is attractive.” Says a website.
So is symmetry everything?
Well, I don’t think so. It may make a given face more attractive on a computer but its not the only thing that makes someone beautiful. Scientists have been able to prove that it is the most factor is beauty and that’s because its the only thing that can be measured by the computer unlike clear complexion, beautiful eyes, smile etc
You take an average face with a huge nose, small eyes and small lips and make it symmetrical. The face will be easy on the eyes but it wouldn’t be considered beautiful or gorgeous. On the other hand take deep set bright blue eyes, full lips, clear bronze complexion, you add a crooked nose but the face would still be considered more attractive than average.
Symmetry plays a role in models where the facial features are already attractive. Symmetry just gives an edge over other faces. But in the real world it doesn’t play much of a role. When you look at someone you look at their pretty eyes, lips, smile, complexion, hair and other things. Very few people are so asymmetric that they are unappealing to the eyes. Minor asymmetry is present in every face and our eyes have learnt to overlook them.
So I would say symmetry is like a cherry on top of a cake. If there’s no cake, there’s no point of having the cherry. Beautiful facial features make a face attractive. Symmetry only makes it more pleasing to the eye.
Here’s a woman with perfect symmetry but do you find her attractive (according to scientists you should):

What do you feel? Is symmetry as important as it is made out to be by scientist?

Interesting post. I’ve saved this page to check back later.
I like this!
Thanks for your post.
Actually new and more serious studies indicates that symmetri is not related to beauty, so let´s enjoy our wacky faces without complexs and not to worry about photos that exagerate defects.
This is a great little post. I totally agree. I have a slightly assymetrical face but I don’t always look the same in photos and I am not boring. I feel it makes me interesting. Elvis is another very assymetrical face who women just loved and fawned over.
“Here’s a woman with perfect symmetry but do you find her attractive (according to scientists you should)”
no, wrong. what a stupid statement.
she(? i’m not even sure, could also be a boy) has a symmetrical face but it’s also about the golden ratio and i can’t really see it.
besides that, dear author of this thread, don’t act stupid: raccoon attack + no eyelashes + narrow lips + creepy blank stare + slighty too much bodyfat = unattractive face
…and my answer is YES, symmetry is important but it doesn’t matter how symmetrical your face is if it’s components are just plain ugly.
on the other hand: as you said, you don’t need a 100 percent symmetrical face if you have some pretty features.
it’s more than just math, it’s also about people’s individual taste but that doesn’t mean scientists are wrong.
duh!
don’t think dis post is stupid! I personally don’t think symmetry is all that it takes to make a face beautiful.. some people are just brain fed into buying into the symmetry crap. I’m a doctor and I know how researches work. many of them exaggerate facts or trick people into believing their theories. but we are usually attracted to facial features rather than pure symmetry. its rare to see a face that is so asymmetric that it looks ugly. everyone has a little asymmetry to their face.
