Title: Composite attractiveness? Ethnicity?
Post by: ItsMyLife on February 27, 2015, 07:37:27 PM
I was wondering.. do all indicators work together to give an indication of whether someone looks normal? or has good proportion? ie, you can have a low wingspan versus height but if all other indicators are good, u might pass off as a natural tall guy? not the best in terms of proportion, but passable?

Also, I realise there is a huge range for many ratios. The only constant appears to be femur-tibia ratio, its  always around 0.8 even for Asians(there was a Korean study). so... for most ratios which have a huge range, lets say you are Asian and you end up with a Black American ratio  or a white American ratio, or an Australian aboriginal ratio... is it gonna look OK still, since we are all humans? I mean, if another ethnic group can have your ratio, it must be within the realm of human-ness right? and there is  a good chance another guy in your ethnic group would have a similar ratio.......

How you look isn't that scientific, watch yourself in a mirror and/or ask some of your friends what they think?

Long legs are actually a sign of a healthy, attractive adult. It might look weird if they're too long, but if you lengthen a reasonable amount I wouldn't worry about it.
