Pick the best models on a Latvian casting site (choose 25)

[Komintasavalta]

I didn't count them while choosing, and didn't look at the numbers chosen by the others.

ended up with these 17 ones:

4, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 40, 84, 86, 87, 96, 97

Compared to a morph of all models, the morph of your picks shows most of the same traits that I mentioned for Travv's picks. It has a more round face, a shorter and less downturned nose, a wider and lower nasal root, and a lower nasal bridge. Because of the wider nasal root, your picks also clearly have a longer distance between the eyebrows and higher interpupillary width.



Your picks have an even wider nasal root than Travv's picks:



I didn't know you were such a nasal root maniac...

[Komintasavalta]

Need more votes.

[Insuperable]

21 30 31 61 71 95

I'd waste too much time for 25 of them.

[Celestia]

Hard to pick 25 but the ones that stood out to me for being pretty were

4, 16, 24, 31, 42, 71, 78, 94, 96

[RatCat]

I'll pick 20 for my harem.

2, 5, 13, 15, 21, 26, 30, 31, 34, 35, 38, 41, 42, 45, 51, 61, 69, 71, 75, 81

[Dorian]

6,12,13,15,21,23,25,26,30,31,35,41,42,43,49,61,62, 63,64,69,71,74,76,78,94

I picked this Latvian casting site, because it's the largest collection of photos I know where the photos are taken under relatively standardized studio conditions, and where the photos are coupled with data about attributes like age and nationality.

I might do some sports league or tournament next. For example there's high-quality photos taken under fairly standardized conditions for Swedish soccer leagues (https://www.svenskfotboll.se/serier-cuper/elitfotboll/) and for hockey world championship tournaments (https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2019/wm/teams).

Compared to a morph of 25 randomly selected models, the morph of your top 25 picks appears to have a shorter and less downturned nose, lower canthal tilt, and a longer chin, but it might partially be because the photos of your picks were taken at a lower angle on average. I think your picks look somewhat Germanic, which could be partially because of the fairly long chin.



Here your top 5 picks have a more narrow and elongated face shape than your top 25 picks, and your worst 2 picks have a bigger face than your top 5 picks. For me it's the opposite.

Great stuff.

The top 5 morph wound up looking better than all the individuals, save for maybe 71. Imo, my top 5 morph looks Dutch/Hanover/Nordrhein/East English to a lesser extent, while the top 25 general Scandinavian. Your top 5 definitely looks Finnish, while your top 25 looks more generalized pan-NE Euro or even pan-Baltic sea.

I think both our worst 2 look Italian.

[Komintasavalta]

Here are morphs of the picks so far. I think me and travv and Nurzat have most Uralish or the most extreme NEE-looking morphs.



I have now classified the models based on a total of 19 facial traits, so that for example for the trait of the height of the nasal bridge, I picked the 25 models who I estimated to have the lowest nasal bridge and the 25 models who I estimated to have the highest nasal bridge. The table below shows how many votes the models in each category have received. In the first column, the fourth column is subtracted from the second column.

Difference	Votes	Trait	Votes	Trait
35	50	Most concave nose	15	Most convex nose
34	59	Lowest nasal bridge	25	Highest nasal bridge
34	58	Most evenly distributed soft tissue of cheeks	24	Most unevenly distributed soft tissue of cheeks
33	58	Most round face shape	25	Most elongated face shape
30	49	Lightest eye color	19	Darkest eye color
27	56	Biggest facial skeleton	29	Smallest facial skeleton
26	53	Widest nasal root	27	Narrowest nasal root
25	44	Most upturned nose	19	Most downturned nose
23	48	Most oily skin	25	Least oily skin
23	48	Lightest hair color	25	Darkest hair color
19	45	Least protruding eyeballs	26	Most protruding eyeballs
18	47	Most prominent cheekbones	29	Least prominent cheekbones
18	43	Highest prognathism	25	Lowest prognathism
16	50	Least prominent lines of lower eyelids	34	Most prominent lines of lower eyelids
15	46	Thickest lips	31	Thinnest lips
13	47	Shortest chin	34	Longest chin
12	50	Lowest upper eyelid exposure	38	Highest upper eyelid exposure
12	44	Widest nose	32	Narrowest nose
1	39	Least protruding chin	38	Most protruding chin

So based on the votes so far, traits that seem to be the best predictors of attractiveness include how concave the nose is (35), how low the nasal bridge is (34), how evenly distributed the soft tissue of the cheeks is (34), and how round the face is (30). However particularly last two traits are somewhat subjective, and I might have been biased in my attempt to estimate the traits from photos.

The table below shows how much different voters value a trait, where the voter's valuation relative to the average valuation is shown within parentheses.

For example travv values roundess of the face shape and lowness of nasal bridge the most (both .5), but relative to other users, he values low upper eyelid exposure the most (.34).

The trait I value the most is how evenly distributed the soft tissue of the cheeks is (.58), but the trait I value the most relative to other users is how non-prominent the lines of the lower eyelids are (.4).

XenophobicPrussian, Insuperable, RatCat, and Dorian generally value different traits than other users, because their relative valuation of most traits is negative.

I think both our worst 2 look Italian.

Actually I think the other chick in my worst 2 (number 70) was South Asian, because she even has the dot on the forehead.

These are models? If this is how models from Baltic states look like, than they are extremely overrated. I struggle to find truly beautiful woman among them. Lot are cute though.
I'll pick 42 as prettiest.
