[OC] The Most Attractive Male Face - Composite faces from 64 different men from the highest voted posts in r/LadyBoners

I agree that there is a general consensus on aesthetics and that there is a mainstream concept of beauty that is supported by science, and I appreciate your input as I find this topic interesting. But outside of the average, outside of the mainstream, people do indeed have different preferences. For example, some women like hairy grisly men with big facial features while some women like a clean-cut face with chiseled features. Those two types of men look nothing alike, yet I'm sure you know women who appreciate one or the other more.

Secondly, different facial features are valued in different ethnicities, different parts in the world, especially if you look back historically, before globalization.

And there are certainly niches and people with different aesthetics and not because of low self-esteem. You can't say people like that don't exist. Just take a look at all the exotic beauty subcultures that exist (it's a beautiful phenomenon in my opinion!). I find it similar to sex -- most people like it the standard vanilla way and then there are some people who enjoy the kinky "abnormal" practices, and that's totally okay!

I'm sure you won't agree, and that's okay too. I just wanted to share my opinion.
