How Your Face Shapes Your Economic Chances
By Derek Thompson
Beauty,closely studied,seems nearly indistinguishable from quick math.Men seem to prefer women in a low waist-to-hip ratio.Women prefer men with optimally long jaws.
For reasons we don't entirely understand,humans find symmetrical faces consistently bewitching.A 2005 study und women can accurately guess the symmetry of a man's face just by smelling his tee-shirt.These calculations are made with breathtaking speed.
We decided whether we like a face in no more than 13 milliseconds,according to a 2005 study.
That's 30x faster than an average blink.The quick math of judging beauty has long-term consequence for the judged.tractive people simply have an easier time with life.
