Why Men Prefer Pretty Faces

"...the preference for pretty faces over less pretty ones is embedded in our brains from the moment of birth and possibly prior to birth."

Uh yeah....well what is a "pretty face"? This is different for everyone. To some, a pretty face is high cheekbones, big eyes, nice full lips...to some, it's a cute little turned up nose, thin lips, high forehead, (to some that's ugly), small eyes, slanted eyes, eye folds, no eye folds, I mean I could go on all day with this shit.

Attractiveness is subjective. Meaning it depends on the person viewing the face, and the person owning the face.

Beautiful face combined with a self centred, selfish attitude the beauty tends to fade fast. The average face with an amazing personality, sexuality and a zest for life I bet will hold the longer attention in the end.

Of course perhaps as an average bbw, I am talking myself into believing that lol.

I think you can find beauty in everyone, and I have always been told, it's not what's outside that counts, it's what's inside. Just my two cents.

I'm pretty and my relationships fail constantly lol. And YES I do usually see them somewhere after "engaged" to a woman who is rather plain looking. If this face crap were true I would be replaced with super models and that has yet to happen.

And even if you are not the best to look at, that doesn't mean he didn't dump a "pretty face" to get to you. That blows all the theory about the necessary pretty face to crap don't it?
On the flip side, all my favorite guys were not pretty lol ..The pretty ones seem way more superficial to me.

JAT; did the study mention the impact of ugly parents on their babies?

Pretty faces may initially lead to an attraction, but without substance behind them, the face fades fast. Inner beauty often makes the person far more beautiful than the prettiest of faces.

Your study does not mean babies like "pretty". It means they like shapes arranged in a certain way. Many artists will tell you that "beauty" is just symmetry, shape, color, light...
Beauty concept changed with Picasso's "Demoiselles of Avignon". Besides males are programmed by their "selfish genes". They are breeders, they go for the ones that would make the species go on.

You left out a very important part of that study, which is babies are attracted to symmetry in faces...symmetry= beauty(?)/interest to babies.

You know I've dated some 2 Bager's before but having said that they had a pretty smokin bod. Otherwise don't think I'd have been interested.
