Is that with or without makeup? There are plenty of actors and actresses who are very average without, but have good bone structure or unique features for makeup artists to work with. Google any celebrity and the words "no makeup".

I'm not sure what average even means in this context. Is average attractive? Is average not attractive? Is average meaning the type of person you see most often around you? Even people that I think are "average" - I still think they are fairly attractive. For instance - I guess I would say that I think someone like Lena Dunham is average - but I still think she can be attractive.

So I thought she was trying to get me to say "What are you crazy? She's hot." maybe because people tell her they look alike.

Somebody has done that to me before.

They did one for men too



How the average woman and man look like, in different countries | iLyke

The one about woman is featured all over the place (and you can see them better here/bigger pictures) The Average Woman's Face Around The World (PHOTO). for some reason, the no one cares as much about what the average man looks like. I don't find articles on that.

I always said I think I am average.
Hmmm... I think a lot of these women and men are above average. Interesting.

I think you need to read her post again. That's a strange assessment.

Leggo my uggo! (Just kidding, mine is a 10 on my scale and probably about a 7 rated by others.)

I think "average" means a face that wouldn't stand out in a crowd. The women guys walk past every day that they never notice. If you stopped and took a closer look at one, you might think, "Yeah, she's kind of cute", but most guys would think "meh..." .

It's hard to come up with images of people that you never notice. I guess if you showed me pictures of a bunch of different women - I could probably tell you which ones I thought were beautiful, average, and so on - but it's hard to think of an average looking person just out of the blue. And like I said - I think most average people are somewhat attractive.

As for Sarah Jessica Parker - I think she can look beautiful sometimes and not so good other times. My husband thinks she looks like a horse. And she's played the "hot" girl in many movies. Oh - but beauty isn't subjective...

If you believe beauty is objective, then what is the point of your thread, because we should all have the same answer.
