QOVES Beauty Podcast Ep. 12 - Why Averaged Faces Are Not Average | Koinophilia
🕑 Added 2021-09-30 09:49:44 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to assessing facial attractiveness, 'Facial Attractiveness: Evolutionary Based Research ' by AC Little has proposed three tenants: Symmetry, Dimorphism and Averageness; it is the last point that is seldom discussed and even less understood.
An averaged face is one produced as a composite of many other faces. If we were to get many faces, all of a similar ethnic or racial group and overlay their faces together, then the Averageness Hypothesis suggests that the produced face will be more attractive than the sum of its parts, i.e. more attractive than those faces by themselves. This is because averaged faces have greater symmetry and clearer skin, but then the real question to answer becomes is averageness (koinophilia) desired because it is attractive by itself or is it desired because it makes the faces more symmetric (is symmetry the real driving force for why we prefer averageness)?

Hi Johann, this would be best answered over at r/.qovesstudio (https://www.reddit.com/r/QOVESStudio/) However to answer your question, the best solutions to asymmetry are generally dermal fillers (if the asymmetry is minor) and cosmetic implants or a full orthodontic realignment (if the asymmetry is major and has been left untreated for a long time). Asymmetries of this scale also have severe health implications such as causing sleep apnea, but most of the time, if you asymmetry is this bad chances are you are already seeking professional help.
What kind of soultions are there to fix facial asymmetry?:)
Is there anything in particular from the manosphere that you're interested in?
Hi, I’ve been watching your content for some time now & have recently heard you mention the “manosphere” & red pill” communities, would it interest you to someday make a video/podcast about their main ideas of attracting women & your opinions of their material with evolutionary psychology in mind? thanks & interesting podcast as always👌🏼
