So, here are the ratings each face received on average, the highest being a 6 and lowest being a 1.
On average, men rated faces .12 points higher than women. You can take a look at your favorite face's ranking and see which ones did best and worst from these numbers. We found that characteristics that were considered attractive in women’s faces were also usually considered attractive in men’s faces, and that men and women tended to view the same faces as attractive and unattractive. We also found that men were almost universally nicer in their ratings than women, and that while the more attractive women were considered, the more men and women disagreed, the more attractive men were considered, the more men and women agreed, which means that men and women tend to disagree a bit on what is attractive in women and what is unattractive in men. Also, we found that people over 30 tended to be much nicer in their ratings of both men and women that people under 30 considered unattractive.
