what was the significance of the post a...@dienekes<br /><br />what was the significance of the post and results from "which of these two women are more attractive". Someone else pointed hot that the woman on the left is more masculine. Have men's preference in women's faces (not just facial expressions) changed over the last 50 years? And do the prefer a slightly more masculine face (adventurous, sexy...)? Also why did the women choose differently from the women? <br /><br />can you refer me to studies that answer this.princenuadhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165977957244158593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-12898737781477566462010-06-16T19:57:38.643+03:002010-06-16T19:57:38.643+03:00"The nose is too averaged.

And some Greeks have a opposite wide nose."<br /><br />Yes there are Greeks with a narrow nose (by comparison to the average) and Greeks with a wide nose but the averaged Greek nose is not the odd result of averaging those two. By the normal curve the average nose is the most popular and as you move away from that average the noses become less and less common. <br /><br />now if you remember the extremes more clearly and think the average nose is not representative then that is just your own distortion of what Greek noses are like.princenuadhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165977957244158593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-89806946269511448872010-06-16T07:50:33.254+03:002010-06-16T07:50:33.254+03:00http://s1.zetaboards.com/anthroscape/topic/3425796...http://s1.zetaboards.com/anthroscape/topic/3425796/1/<br /><br />some "greek" faces are same as shqiptar faces.anavenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472575675005827801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-59651280264620912402010-06-16T00:50:14.369+03:002010-06-16T00:50:14.369+03:00princenuadha:

I seriously doubt that. It would be like saying people are short or tall but rarely average, categorically speaking.<br /><br />as for other comments when considering the eyes nose and overall face the Greeks form a very good continuum with the Turks, its like there was no barrier (Aegean). And of course the Eastern Turks would start to look different from the Greeks.<br /><br />on a side not, man the Greeks are in trouble for the WC. Someone should do an average face of the Spanish, they'll probably go far.<br /><br /> I think it would be fun to do an average face matching with all the Mediterranean countries at once.princenuadhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165977957244158593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-21263038051745927672010-06-14T23:11:41.899+03:002010-06-14T23:11:41.899+03:00Here is another photo of the Turkish man Achaean l...Here is another photo of the Turkish man Achaean linked to:<br /><br />http://www.eksiduyuru.com/files/1243410327.jpg<br /><br />Here is him from side-face:<br /><br />http://i.ensonhaber.com/news/219923.jpg<br /><br />And this is his childhood photo:<br /><br />http://www.cemdavran.com.tr/nd/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cem-davran-paso.jpgOnur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-3452656864046637142010-06-14T22:54:46.348+03:002010-06-14T22:54:46.348+03:00Regarding Greek eyes:

I reduced the tan and also looked at it in black and white by using Photoshop.<br />In all three cases I think the face has only a, let's say, 25% chance of being from Southern Italy (portion of Italy South of Rome). Not typical. Let's say that if someone told me the person is an Anatolian Turk I would believe it more easily (70% chance guesstimate).
