Abstract:

In general, women are much more concerned about their appearance than men. The key reason for this is that their appearance is central to how they are evaluated by others. That phenomenon is often rejected as appearance but giving it an unpleasant name is not going to make it go away. According to a recent study both men and women perceive facial symmetry as attractive in females, but facial averageness and facial maturity also affect men�??s perception of attractiveness. There are several anthropometric traits that have been associated with attractiveness, especially focusing on the face in great detail. The face is considered to be the most important part of the body in social interactions, since facial features become more important causes of overall attractiveness, according to a 2013 study published in the journal Psychological Science. Moreover, from a biological perspective, facial features hold a biological signal that informs us how healthy we are, meaning attractive faces signal different things in men and women. Physical attractiveness has been measured using facial symmetry, which implies that the more symmetrical an individual�??s facial features are the more attractive the perception of the individual.
