I read somewhere that for men, the shoulder to waist ratio is 1:7. Don't quote me on that though, it was a while ago.

Publish a paper on that. McDonalds will be ecstatic.

EDIT: The article Holy Assassin links to is the perfect example of what I am saying.

So, again, where's your scientific proof that's evolutionary perfection and biological preference?

I meant 1:0.7.

1:7 would be... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldTtAURFwSg...

I mentioned that earlier. It's trial and error. Each set of humans has their own golden ratio. I'm sure that neanderthals had their own ratio of beauty in reference to their faces and so do we. In a billion years, so will those humans. It changes, here is no end to this system, only when that species of human becomes extinct.

This is what I mentioned earlier about primal beauty. I am not factoring in societal factors and such. I know all about the bodily ratio though, there is a separate ratio for that as well. Same as the face but on the body.

This is going to bother you, but I reject this ratio. Want to know why?

Because I simply refuse to. Hahahaha. There will be no ratio Agent Smith.

Not to mention plenty of examples in real life where things don't conform to the golden ratio, or even their own ratios. I feel like face desking right now. *sigh* -_-

When I said we needed more science on this board, I didn't want pseudo science philosophers that try and bend the forum to their will.

Well, the picture of the pyramid doesnt really support you. Neither does the page giving examples of the Golden Ratio in basic geometric shapes...

Really, if you're going to try to 'prove' the Golden Ratio has some application to physical attractiveness, you're going to need to do a little better than throw up a Google Search of "Golden Ratio".

Millions years of evolution to the human form has shaped us to what we are today. Every human form has a ratio of beauty to fulfill. This is where the line is drawn. There is no "ugly" when i comes to fat, thin, thick, faces. It's about proportion. So, a big nose must be paired with big eyes in order to fulfill the ratio of beauty properly.

So, are you saying you can challenge evolution? The process that has formed perfect cheek bones, perfect eyes, the perfect jawline, perfect proportions, over many years of trial and error?

Alcohol is the great equalizer. As long as people get smashed they will breed at random.

I see the word 'proof' confused you. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/proof

It's science, just google it. Even in the images you get tons like mine.

The second one is more of a plastic surgery approach to the golden ratio, but still talks symmetry and proportion. Those are just three examples of all of the near perfect faces in existence.
