[AccessD] Friday OT: 10 ways to indicate you are a geek

Ratios definitely play a part.  Different cultures define pretty and
handsome differently.  As the world cultures blend, those differences
modulate, but they're still there.  And if you think all kittens look
the same, consider the Cornish Rex vis-a-vis the munchkin.

>>look beautiful and the other ones ugly

Well, that very much depend on "the eye of the beholder".  One man's
meat is another man's poison.

What some person might find attractive, others may not.

But, that said, we could all, probably, find consensus in saying "She is
pretty" or "he is handsome".  

We all have a built in "idea" of what constitutes Good Looks. I am sure
Ratios play a part in that.

Can this "feeling" be measured/quantified?   

Probably not, but that is not to say that there is not some academic
somewhere in the World obtaining a grant from Max Factor or similar to
try to find out.

It probably has a lot to do with early development of course, whereby
the baby is used to seeing facial features of those around him/her and
find difficulty later in life when they encounter people of different
races and cultures - particularly those with dissimilar facial features.
But once we have been around these different people for a long time, we
start to subtly notice and differentiate between the facial features.  

Do all kittens look the same. Yes, unless they are yours and then you
know the difference.
