Yep, you're right Kwee...


I watch too much Discovery Channel so I've seen a lot of the same stuff, hehe. There is science behind what people find attractive& it does appear to be universal.


Women are prized for their youthful qualities which include big eyes &fuller redder lips, smaller petite noses (in comparison to men that is, shapes still vary, ie: Nicole Kidman), prominant cheeks & chin (not nearly as prominant as a mans, but not recessed), hourglass figure (regardless of weight), dainty extremities, etc.


The men seem to be found attractive with strong facial features such as a strong jaw, bigger, wider, & longer noses than their female counerparts, eyes that aren't too small or beady, large foreheads, an upside-down triangle shape to the torso with a slightly slimmer waiste than the hips (but not theminimum in-game setting, it's too extreme & cartoonish looking), stonger fuller arms & legs, & larger extremities.


I use these concepts all the time doing ID & people always like the new looks even though they may not always know why they like it. It's a subconscious thing that everyone sort of agrees on & people are amazed at how even the slightest changes using these concepts make their char look sooo much better.


This is why I was never worried about how easy it was to grind ID, hehe. You still have to really know what looks good & why it looks good subconciously to your customers. When you know your stuff your customers usually are amazed at the results & will give you enough word of mouth referrals to drive you off your server, lol.
