what the average girl looks like...

Currently each area is divided into a combination of country/region based on population and other factors. This research is to be used for

From the website:
We're interested in how people read faces and the ways in which this relates to experiences they have during their life.

We carry out tests to assess the characteristics people find attractive in faces and voices. We use the answers to the questionnaires to see how things like lifestyle relate to your preferences for the faces and voices. Summaries of our findings will be posted on this website after we have finished collecting data for each experiment.
