The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
averageness is really what people are looking for. And that doesn't on the surface that doesn't sound so attractive to be average. But if you take a 100 faces of men, 100 faces of women, and average them all down to a single composite, you will um, average someone who has a little bit of a big nose or a small jaw or some aspect of their their forehead shape. And all that gets averaged down into a composite that is considered universally beautiful across cultures.

Averginess is really what people are looking for. On the surface, that doesn't sound so attractive to be average. But if you take a hundred faces of men, 100 faces of women and average them all down to a single composite that is considered universally beautiful across cultures. And again, that sort of unconsciously in the mating pool from an evolutionary standpoint is conoting healthy genetics.
Um, in fact, um, to to go a little deeper into that, um, averess is really what people are looking for. And that doesn't on the surface that doesn't sound so attractive to be average.
