World Averages: How Average are You?

Off Topic
1

Pretty cool blog where a guy has combined thousands of photos of people from a given country/period to produce the “average” face. The link is to a set of Random Averages (US Presidents from Ford to Obama, Old time/modern movie stars), but to the left there are links to different regions.

The English female is surprisingly fit, after a recent trip to Budapest it seems the beauty of Hungarian women is more than the sum of its parts, and I want to marry Peru.

All of the faces seem oddly familiar. Check it out.

Surprised the average English female doesn’t have a face full of vomit and vodka with an overzealous usage of eyeliner.

I can vouch for Spanish Male and Female, that’s reasonably damn accurate.

Swedish Female looks considerably less hot than I would have liked to see.

Surprised Scottish isn’t there.

x2 Looks very Brando-Newmany, maybe even a little young Charlton Heston thrown in there for fun.

I was thinking the actor who played the elf from Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Carribean.

The median doesn’t look like that. The average smooths out all the features into something that is “not ugly” and therefore looks pretty good.

Orlando Bloom? At least it doesn’t look like the other elf, Hugo Weaving.

Orlando Bloom. It looks like him.

The ‘average world’ look very philipino/indonesian/thai.

12

English women, those who look after themselves and are naturally good looking are not as common as I’d like to think.

The same goes for American women.

I am guessing for some of the faces there was not too many actual separate people used… maybe like combining a few different faces for a reference guide in average based appearance.

This. I was thinking that the faces are way too attractive.

Then I was thinking about how all the asymmetries (inherent in most faces) would combine to form a face quite symmetric.

Seriously wondering how anyone could expect anything else to be produced

Average modern actor looks a bit like a younger Pierce Brosnan to me.
