Title: pretty face= good potential for an aesthetic body?
Post by: cqfd on April 20, 2006, 04:52:47 PM
There was a thread a few weeks ago where somebody said that there could be a relation between the prettiness of the face and the aesthetics of the body.

Usually people with a very aesthetic body don't have an ugly face.
Think tito raymond, reeves, paris, betancourt.

Are there examples of (fit and with some muscle on them) pple with a very below average face and a very aesthetic body or the opposite?

No such correlation exists.  First of all, what one person considers a pretty or attractive face is not uniform.  We were just talking about that in thread on Gustavo Baddell; some say he is ugly, others say he is among the most handsome guys out there.

From what I’ve gathered, most people on here think Pavol is ugly (I differ), but most agree his body is nearly flawless aesthetically.

I agree. All girls look my puffy cheeks so that and my rugged beautefully shaped face with awesome features makes my body just as great.  :o

Don't pull the relativistic stuff.  Let's consider attractiveness based on averages of opinion.  I guarantee you that Bob Paris or Gunter Schlierkamp or Richard Jones would be polled as being far better looking than Branch Warren.  Although specific individuals disagree, on the whole that would be the case.

I'm willing to give $100 to Ron VIA paypal if you wish to make this bet.

Yes, some may disagree but this post is about what the overall averages would be.

Pavol is an example which differs from our theory.

I don't think there's any correlation between a pretty face and nice body, but without a doubt there is a correlation between breasts and glutes. The best asses I've ever seen are on women with small breasts, and the flattest asses have been on women with gigantic breasts. I'm saying on a genetic level, and it has nothing to do with working out.

Maybe they just get more credit for their physiques with a good looking face.  The whole appreance kind of thing.  I don't know that they are tied together.  Cerntainly not with women.  There are a lot of ugly heads on perfect bodies.

wouldn't most women agree that arnold had a hideous face...well most say he had a hideous body too.

i think it comes down to conditioning...most of these "non aesthetic" guys are on whatever drug causes palumboism that it distorts their faces too... most of the "more aesthetic", usually smaller dudes aren't doing the drugs...or haven't been as long around to have the years of bodily/drug abuse show on their faces.

This is Matt's whacked out theory , facial beauty is way to subjective and take Thierry Pastel I don't consider him a great looking guy but his physique is OUTSTANDING aesthetics wise , the same can be said about Serge Nubret , John Knattyshack , etc all of these guys are known for great aesthetics but not so much great looks .

i totally agree with the ass and tits theory.  3/4 of the time the girl will have a bangin ass and a chest like a prebuescent boy, or have casava mellons for tits and a flat old woman ass.  i dont know if someone can truly classify handosomeness.  everyone is someones type, but noone is everyones type.  that being said, there are certain characteristics that are considered universal for handsomeness.  symetrical features, strong jaw, strong chin, and a straight nose.  but then you have to look at guys like vin diesel.  he doesnt fit that classical ideal of good looking.  he looks very ethnic israeli or italian, but every girl i know thinks hes hot as hell.  this could be because hes a rich movie star, but i dont think that has everything to do with it. agree or disagree?

Actually there beauty is something that can be measured.  There is a formula for it.  It involves the distance of body parts in corlation to the others.  People that have this are considered handsome/beautiful.  I say it on the discovery channel a couple years ago.  They showed pics of "ugly" people and beautiful one to babies and the babies alway like the beautiful ones more.

I'm sorry that 90% of you look like mudducks.  But not all of us can be good lucking.  Hope you have alot of money, big c0ck, or a decent body to compensate.   ;D

I saw that exact same episode, it was very interesting. You are correct, the distance between the two eyes, the distance between the mouth and the nose, etc, all come into play to make a person attractive.  Although you may fall into that perfect formula, the fact that you have a lazy-eye and 13 teeth kinda excludes you.   ;D

most of those gigantic boobs and flat asses are white chicks who get the "fake" rack and it throws their body all out of wack....

no, I'm talking about women who have huge breasts naturally. Fake boobs don't count. What I notice is the structure of a women with huge natural tits almost always means a wide, flat ass. Many a white girl has a fantastic ass, maybe you just might like them extra thick. Personally, I'll pass on the ghetto booty.

There was a thread a few weeks ago where somebody said that there could be a relation between the prettiness of the face and the aesthetics of the body.

Usually people with a very aesthetic body don't have an ugly face.
Think tito raymond, reeves, paris, betancourt.

Are there examples of (fit and with some muscle on them) pple with a very below average face and a very aesthetic body or the opposite?


  Fascinating topic. "Pretiness", as you put it, is the ultimate standard of gentic fitness. All the other things, it seems, such as high testosterone, intelligence, athletic skills, musical skills, artistic skills, etc, are ony means to achieve what everyone really wants:genes for pretiness. It is the ultimate indicator of genetic quality. Who was the only guy who was above the jocks, both in high school and college? The good-looking guy. "Beauty", it seems, is the evolutionary "candy", which we all want. Before, it was believed that "pretiness" was only an indicator of value in females; it has now been shown to apply to males as well.

  What is beauty? In one word, symmetry. Symmetry indicates superb genes, which weren't altered by mutations or diseases, thus remaining the true expression of Human beauty. The actor, Jude Law, who posseses the most perfectly roportional and symmetrical face ever, once remarked how much better teated he was in relation to his brothers and sisters. We worship beautiful people:they are what we would like to be and, more importantly, they posses the genes we would like to give our children. Symmetry indicates "pretiness", but it does not a great man make! A man excels by being big and violent, even if he has poor genes; such is the secret of Dorian's and ronnie's success, and hy huge men win bodybuilding contests.

I agree.  I was just talking to my daughter about this.  I don't believe that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" line.  There is subjective beauty and objective beauty.  I think people can be objectively ugly and beautiful.

perhaps if by universally, you mean segments of Europe and North America.   I doubt if people in China or Tibet or hundreds of other places on the planet could tell Brad Pitt apart from any other westerner.

culture plays a big part in what is considered beautiful

Actually there beauty is something that can be measured.  There is a formula for it.  It involves the distance of body parts in corlation to the others.  People that have this are considered handsome/beautiful.  I say it on the discovery channel a couple years ago.  They showed pics of "ugly" people and beautiful one to babies and the babies alway like the beautiful ones more.

I'm sorry that 90% of you look like mudducks.  But not all of us can be good lucking.  Hope you have alot of money, big c0ck, or a decent body to compensate.   ;D
I think mudducks are beatiful.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that since I can tell a hot Asian from a not-hot Asian, that Asians are able to do the same with other races.

Blad pitt is huge in japan . . . so is geolge clooney.

I saw that exact same episode, it was very interesting. You are correct, the distance between the two eyes, the distance between the mouth and the nose, etc, all come into play to make a person attractive.  Although you may fall into that perfect formula, the fact that you have a lazy-eye and 13 teeth kinda excludes you.   ;D

You got me.......bastard!!! ;D

  Fascinating topic. "Pretiness", as you put it, is the ultimate standard of gentic fitness. All the other things, it seems, such as high testosterone, intelligence, athletic skills, musical skills, artistic skills, etc, are ony means to achieve what everyone really wants:genes for pretiness. It is the ultimate indicator of genetic quality. Who was the only guy who was above the jocks, both in high school and college? The good-looking guy. "Beauty", it seems, is the evolutionary "candy", which we all want. Before, it was believed that "pretiness" was only an indicator of value in females; it has now been shown to apply to males as well.

  What is beauty? In one word, symmetry. Symmetry indicates superb genes, which weren't altered by mutations or diseases, thus remaining the true expression of Human beauty. The actor, Jude Law, who posseses the most perfectly roportional and symmetrical face ever, once remarked how much better teated he was in relation to his brothers and sisters. We worship beautiful people:they are what we would like to be and, more importantly, they posses the genes we would like to give our children. Symmetry indicates "pretiness", but it does not a great man make! A man excels by being big and violent, even if he has poor genes; such is the secret of Dorian's and ronnie's success, and hy huge men win bodybuilding contests.

but what you think is a hot Asian is not necessarily what an Asian will think is hot.  preferences for roundness of eyes, size of nose, lips, etc., is a cultural thing, and changes in a culture over time.   Look at Playboy from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, etc.  Or pin-up poster girls, or high fashion models over all those years.
