Informal essay explores visual metrics of attraction in males through two proof of concept tests.
A short informal essay discussing the results of two small proof of concept tests on ten male subjects to attempt to identify an algorithmic or mechanically visual basis for human attraction in the choice of a female partner. One test involved choosing the most attractive female facial image from a random collection of twenty different beautiful female faces, comparing its metrics of thirteen attributes to those of facial images of past relationships of each male subject, to identify an algorithmic or Bayesian foundation for attraction versus choices assumed to be based on free will. The second test was the presentation of an image of hidden female outlined forms to ten men and ten women as a proof of concept for how to possibly identify how the human male brain identifies female forms and fitness intimating an epigenetic grammar of forms.
