The Mathematics of Beauty The Rules Revisited | November 28, 2011 | by Andrew ------------------------- The other day I was reading the blog for OKCupid.com [http://blog.okcupid.com/] (which is extremely interesting by the way, I highly recommend it) and came across a study that, based on a large data set, concluded a point I made in a post about male taste and female attractiveness [http://therulesrevisited.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-am-strongly-convinced-that-it-does.html]. While I won't pretend that I am being humble about the affirmation, I still think it is worthwhile noting it here, in case there were any cynics: [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G1Q_VwkAG5Q/TtWL8e7svcI/AAAAAAAAAFg/h64WkKHIRJ0/s1600/Agreement+on+OKCupid.png] Sounds pretty comparable. For those of you that didn't read the original post on here, the implication is that you shouldn't be concerned if a particular guy seems more interested in your seemingly better-looking friend, or even is a guy makes an unfavorable comment about your looks, because other men you are interested in may very well consider you beautiful. While there are limits to this phenomenon (e.g. a two on a particular guy's ten point scale [http://therulesrevisited.blogspot.com/2011/08/10-point-scale.html] is essentially ugly to everyone), there is a suprising variance in male opinion when it comes to feminine attractiveness [http://therulesrevisited.blogspot.com/2011/09/feminine-beauty-is-highly-controllable.html]. Anyway, check out the OKCupid article, it's a good read.
