I applaud the effort, as it's an interesting topic...but it won't work here. I estimate your responses as follows:
"There is no such thing as 'average, beauty is too subjective" (50%)
Argument addressing someone else's post (20%)
Comment that doesn't address the topic (15%)
Reference to self/how husband or bf views the poster (5%)
Actual responses (5%)
Other (3%)
Numerical estimations of expected responses to the OP (2%)
You left out "Unexpected responses quoting the numerical estimations of expected responses to the OP." Or does that fall under "other?"
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.
That's average?
Maybe it's me but the women all look above-average!
Wow.

It's an average created by a computer.
I didn't think of it at the time, but there is speculation (or maybe real theory) that real attractiveness is "average." So while an attractive face is an average of most faces, average attractiveness isn't.
There are a number of hypotheses on why we find certain faces attractive. A new study published last month in the journal Psychological Science, offered a new explanation why average faces (mathematically average, not average-looking) are judged more attractive. The researchers, Piotr Winkielman of the University of California, San Diego and Jamin Halberstadt of University of Otago in New Zealand, said that we prefer average faces because they are closer to our mental prototype of a face. In other words, average faces are more "face-like."
So the faces in the picture I found (I think) would be "mathematical averages" not average looking. So maybe my post isn't really in the spirit of the OPs real question (now that I think about it). He's talking about "average looking" not an "average face."
I think a woman like Katie Holmes is average, but thats my type. She looks like the girl next door (and played one). There's plenty of actresses that are way below average, such as Sarah Jessica Parker. I gravitate towards Latin women, so Jennifer Lopez (not so much anymore, but in the past), Penelope Cruz, and Salma Hayek do it for me.

I want to live where you live if those are examples of "average".

No, they are not all examples. Maybe Sarah Jessica Parker, which I never understood. Who's the actress married to Chad Lowe (Rob's brother)? She's below average, way below average. I'd have to do a more extensive search on the internet to find better examples.
