<:> Physical attractiveness

Considerable evidence that people have essentially universal standards of beauty, including large eyes, `baby face' features, symmetric faces, so-called average faces, and specific waist-hip ratios.

But this doesn't seem to get even close to the kinds of extremely delicate discriminations that people make between `attractive' and `not attractive'.

It's tempting to dismiss differences in response as purely subjective/culturual/social.

But the consistency shown in making context-free judgements suggests some more objective basis.
