If you sees a crowd of several people, you would probably not find everybody good looking regardless of taste.
I think that this is somewhat determined by puberty, and the rate that the person goes through it. I see that you're 19, and generally around our age people still aren't done developing. Their noses are a little too big, or their cheeks are still a little chubby, making them appear awkward rather than gorgeous or handsome.
Also, take into account where you live. If you're in a smaller town, or maybe a less-inhabited state, the gene-pool is not as wide as it would be in a bigger town, or more inhabited state. You see, I used to live in Florida where there were a lot of attractive people, and then moved to Kansas where the hottest guys at my school would be considered average if they lived in Florida. Florida is more diverse than Kansas, and I think this might play a major role in the level of attractiveness of people.
Regarding the fact that pretty girls are more common than pretty guys, girls wear makeup, which is basically a second skin. Any girl that is half decent at applying makeup can go from a 4 to an 8.
I live in Norway in Norway's second biggest city. Now I lives in a area where it's fewer people. But I knows it's more diversity in certain parts. Especially in these area there is many immigrants. Anyway, in Norway it's only 5 000 000 people in total. So Norway have a low population and diversity compared to the US. There are many benefits with that like easier to give justice to the people and to run a welfare system. But the disadvantage is when it comes to dating.
I think it also depends on our mood. Sometimes i find more people attractive and sometimes just nobody.
It's normal, if everyone looked awesome it wouldn't be fun.
Why are they rare? Cause they look different than other people and it makes them unique. It's not something you see daily.
From the last i do find the girl in maroon dress quite bit cute. But makeup can do everything. She's not awesome but she's cool. 👌
I have to say that it depends on your definition of gorgeous/handsome. People have different taste.
So what's beautiful to you, might be ugly to other people and vice versa.
There's good looking people everywhere, you just have to pay attention to them.
I thinks people (This is celebs I mention) like this are gorgeous/handsome: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aidan Turner, Orlando Bloom, Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth.
Yea, but it's still not many of them.
It may be to do with everyone's perception or definition of beauty. As overplayed as it is, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Something/someone is beautiful because we think so.
Obviously, many "beautiful" features for humans often have more archaic, primal and deep-set reasons, such as the impression of fertility or fitness, but other things don't. I mean, look at hair styles. Do you think a particular hairstyle makes you think "Wow, I bet she could pop out a whole load of strong, genetically unblemished offspring" ? Probably not. Things like that come down to a matter of taste.
because average means the majority. if beautiful was average then the whole scope would change... know what i mean?
if the average person makes $30k. then the majority of people make that amount and those who are rich and poor are in the minority. if the average person made $300k then it would totally change the balance and what is defined as rich and poor.
You've a good point. So do you think the beauty standard would rise if there were more pretty people, so the average becomes below and pretty becomes the new average, so the new standard was the new beautiful?
yes i think so. if there were more "beautiful" people then the standard of beauty would just rise. i think that has probably happened. i feel like when you see paintings of people from the 1400s or photos of people from the 1800s they were not as attractive overall as they are now. you often see pictures of someone from early 1900s and they were called a great beauty and i think, really? but at that time imagine they were considered a great beauty
Actually it makes sense. I've also seen these pictures and the eras great beauties seems average for me; nothing special.

Female celeb: Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Nethalie Emmanuel, Caitrione Balfe.
I'm agree Mae West and Joan Crawford isn't beauties.

Every single person who is born has gene mutations, and we also have dominant and recessive genes, and so the combination of our parents' DNA and which dominant genes we end up with are what is responsible for the way we look.
Again, the combinations are astronomical, and then there are the gene mutations on top of that.
I think we chose what make someone handsome / gorgeous by the rarest things. Like in Korea they like the V shape but majority of people hadn't it and have a round face. It's the same for the skin, Asian prefer White skin even if they live in a sunny country (Thailand, Vietnam, etc..) and In Europe / America tan skin is preferred even though we're generally pale.
I think they just chose the people with rare feature cause it look cool or something like that.
because beauty lies in the eyes of beholder and some people are more genetically blessed than others
Average-looking people do look good, because average-looking means not ugly, just not a striking beauty. We tend to find good-looking people who also look exoctic or have some exoctic face trait prettier than simply good-looking people, that's why it's rarer. Better-looking people also generally have a better health/ had a better health growing up, and most people nowadays do everything they should do to have a better health/ have healthier children wrong.
You're from Brazil. Maybe that's the reason average-looking people do look good for you. For me the majority of people I sees doesn't look that good. Some looks decent, but some just doesn't look good. Not necessary ugly, but close enough. I'm from Norway by the way. Maybe my taste and where I live explains it.
But what I'm saying is average looks good because it's not ugly, so that apllies to any place. And when I say average-looking people look good, I mean good enough, and not that they are beautiful/ handsome, because that is obviously a superior kind of beauty, like that of most models. And that kind of beauty is superior because of what I said: better-looking people tend to look somewhat exoctic, and also generally have a better health than most people.

People from norway are average looking? White people in general are average looking. The most beautiful women in the world are either mixed or Slavic.
@SwolDishWasher I think you're talking to him, anyway, I'd just like to explain that when I say average here I mean average in the sense of not ugly but still not beautiful/ handsome; I don't mean average in the sense of what's more common... if that makes sense.
Yeah he was belittling you and i can't have none of that. The dude is an idiot. All white people look the same.
Look up the most beautiful people in the world. Theyre all dark skinned or from Russia.
@SwolDishWasher Thanks, but I don't give a f*ck about what he thinks about me and Brazil. And in my opinion the highest proportion of good-looking people is in the middle east/ mediterranean countries.
Brazil has a lot of sexy babes.
I agree. Italian women are slim and have kind faces.
@SwolDishWasher I agree
I like muslim chick's too. I just watched Noah with Christian Bale. And his wife in the movie was beautiful, and she's middle Eastern.
@SwolDishWasher When I said I agree I was refering to Brazil having a lot of sexy babes. And yeah, I don't know what happens in the middle east, even when they're showing really poor people there's always someone with stunning eyes and such. Like, there was this girl that had red hair and amber eyes; her eyes were almost the same color as her hair, so beautiful.
referring*
I know babe. I saw that pic too tho.
@SwolDishWasher What pic? I saw that little girl in a tv documentary about Syria.
Nvm this is the girl i was thinking of.

@SwolDishWasher lol i know, but the one i talk about had red hair and amber (yellowish/ orangish) eyes, hun
Yes i was mistaken
People, I'm agree there's many good looking people from the Middle-east and the Mediterranean area. By the way, I've been in Rome once time on vacation. Most people there looked better than Norwegian ones. Even some of the average guys had better looks.
Yeah id say Italians are really good looking people. Its probably because of their diets or something. Their culture is really interesting too.
@SwolDishWasher, Life style do play a big role. But I do also think genes and the features they are born with do also play a role. I do like brown eyes and dark hair for instance. Many Italians do have it.
It makes sense that any extreme in anything will always be the rare event, with the majority being clustered around the average. The fittest, strongest, fastest, most attractive... and the completely sedentary, weak as a kitten, slow as a snail and hideously ugly... they are the extreme ends of the spectrum and everyone else is somewhere in between.
Average people are average by definition.
We probably are all better looking than thousands of years ago. But by today's standard average is average.
Cause if it became the norm, then everybody would be average. I think better looking people simply have better health..
If there were more good looking people, then good looking people would be considered average
I think this depends on where you live, in America people are not encouraged to put their best foot forward so they let themselves go
I live in Norway, a Scandinavian country. It's Sweden, Denmark and Finland's neighbor country.
I live in america, you don't know how good you have it lol. I have been to Europe
Are you seriously asking why average looking people are a majority?
smh
I've hoped for a serious answer. If you doesn't know the answer or think this question is ridiculous, I'm won't force you to answer it. That wasn't the plan at least.
Definationally. Average means approx half of the population in question is better and half worse than it. So if you look at 'commonness of beauty' then those who are above average are going to occur less than average...
I guess it depends on the person, I think the majority of females are good looking.
In my opinions people from both genders are average. But I thinks the female average is a bit better looking than the male average in general speaking. It really depends which place though. Most females doesn't look that bad as long they are young, healthy and not overweight.
I sees pretty and cute women more often than handsome men. Even where I live it's like that and in my country good looking people are few in my opinion. But after we got more immigrants, more good looking peoples came.
I agree that females do look better but I think that's because I'm straight.
But I'm not attracted to women, so I'm wondering why I thinks so... : o
I'm not sure.
Dude thing guys set a standard to consider girls as gorgeous at the same time don't mind setting a standard for men themselves. U don't have those hormones which will consider men cute. soo...
That all depends on the type of guy that you are looking for
eye of beholder, it's that type of thing.
They aren't. You just don't pay attention.
Yes, I do pay attention. I do study people in the streets. From what I've seen good looking people are rare. Maybe I'm just picky and you aren't?
Trust me, I'm a very picky person, but beautiful people are all around us. It takes something to notice that.
I've seen beautiful people in real life, but there's more average people. But why are average people more common?
I honestly don't know? Maybe some people go more out of their way to be beautiful? They make sure they're in shape, have the best teeth, good hair. Nice clothes.
Nice clothing, hairstyle, health etc. do help on your looks. But facial features makes a person good looking too in my opinion. I hasn't seen as many good looking people in real life as celebs. I doesn't see many who I thinks is as good looking as Chris H, Liam Hemsworth, Aidan Turner, Colin O'Donoghue, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Emilia Clarke, Emma Watson etc.
Cause that's what the definition of average is
sperm matters!!😂😂
genes
So why are the "good looking person" gene so rare?
