Sky Watch and Hidden Messages in Facial Beauty Lore
A long obscure column blends a mid September sky map with speculative science on gendered facial beauty. It cites Joe Rao and researchers from Scotland and Japan, noting preferences for feminized male faces and ultrafeminized female faces, and discusses how biology, age, and hormones may shape perceived attractiveness.
Science on beauty and the gendered face bias study
A study uses computer composites from 20 men and 2 women per ethnicity to define masculine and feminine facial traits. Judges in Scotland and Japan rate feminized female faces as more attractive, with masculinized male faces seen as dominant but less warm, while average-looking faces are often deemed most attractive overall.
