Humans universally prefer good looking people and agree fairly consistently about who is attractive.<ref>Di Dio C, Macaluso E, Rizzolatti G (2007) The Golden Beauty: Brain Response to Classical and Renaissance Sculptures.

People agree less about people of average attractiveness, so here individual preferences play a greater role. Even babies prefer attractive faces over non-attractive ones long before culture could have affected their preferences,<ref>https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6355-babies-prefer-to-gaze-upon-beautiful-faces</ref><ref>http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/dev-dev0000734.pdf</ref> And even blind men have the same preferences about women's hourglas shape as sighted men. Also, among widely different cultures, universal standards for beauty exist<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/</ref> and women universally prefer tall men to short men.<ref>https://research.similarminds.com/romantic-height-preferences-in-men-and-women/227</ref> | ||
People also associate physical attractiveness with various positive traits to unreasonable degree, e.g. a good personality, humor, morality, intelligence and health.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_people_are_perceived_much_more_positively_than_they_really_are</ref> | Taken together, these research findings strongly suggest that the preference for beauty is largely innate, likely evolved by [[Fisherian runaway|sexual selection]] and rather than a social construct. | ||
People also automatically associate physical attractiveness with various positive traits to unreasonable degree, e.g. a good personality, humor, morality, intelligence and health.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_people_are_perceived_much_more_positively_than_they_really_are</ref> | |||
This affects even parents treating their good looking offspring better.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/03/health/ugly-children-may-get-parental-short-shrift.html</ref> | |||
