No, I didn't.

I posted that in response to an online plot recap, there seemed to be no consensus between factions arguing whether she was "plain" or "pretty."

Ergo, attractiveness ---> a matter of individual opinion ---> subjective.

My own opinion wasn't even stated.

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.
Um, no. Again, I look like that particular actress in the sense that we both possess two X chromosomes, hair, skin, and all four limbs.

These are the irrefutable facts on attributes of an average woman:

The statistically average woman in America has the following attributes:

34% body fat (every decade men and women have been getting fatter)

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 144 lbs

Size: Between 12 and 16

Ring Finger Size: 6

In terms of a distribution curve, 72% of women wear size 12 or above

So, I'm not sure how this will work, but guys post your impression of what the average woman looks like. I'm guessing you can only use movie stars and photo stills, which is tricky since most of them are not average.

Here's one I found. She looks better in some pics than others, but I think this is a pretty fair representation of god-given average.

I find this woman very unattractive and way below average.

Even when she has alot of make up on, she looks just almost average. That means, on an every day basis without professional make up artists going crazy on her, she is very unattractive.

Those don't seem to add up to me. At least not for ME, personally. A woman 5'4" and weighing 144 pounds wouldn't wear between a 12 and 16 and wouldn't have 34% body fat. And the other pic - with the women in their underwear - I have a hard time believing they are the sizes that they say they are. The size six woman looks really, really skinny. Are those American sizes or are they from another country? If they are from another country - that would make sense since, for instance, I think in New Zealand, a size 6 is like the equivalent of a 2 or something like that.

I've always wondered what people consider average as well. Most of these pictures on here are above average in my opinion. I'd like to know the difference between ugly and average. I've been told I am ugly all the time offline, and a few people online have asked for my photo online because of my blog and they tell me I am extremely average. Not ugly and not pretty. Someone they wouldn't look at twice in the street. So I'd like to know the difference since everyone offline has a different opinion than people online. Either that, or people online are just being polite.

Going through her photos, I personally, sum her up about average. The pictures where she's gain some weight puts her a notch or two below, on a physical aspect, however, her personality could bump that number up to above average.

Someone who's 5'4" and 144 lbs. is not likely to look ike anyone in the lower picture. Most will look chunky, plump, not curvy/attractive. But these photos also raise the question: what kind of figure are we talking about in relation to "average"? Small boobs? A-B cup is what I think of as average. That only describes the first two or three women on the left of the bottom photo.

"I'd like to know the difference between ugly and average."

Personality and attitude?

"I've been told I am ugly all the time offline"

You need to hang out with better quality people.

The girl pictured at size 6 does have some hips.
