Two quantities are in '''golden ratio''' to one another if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
The '''golden ratio''' is the supposed mathematical equation to beauty. In humans the golden ratio is sometimes correlated with attractive proportions of the human body, such as a man's shoulder width to waist ratio. <ref>http://www.fitocracy.com/knowledge/a-brief-discussion-of-the-look-and-how-to-get-it/#:~:targetText=From%20there%2C%20the%20aim%20is,easily%20reduce%20your%20waist%20measurement.</ref> <ref>https://www.fitmole.org/perfect-male-body/</ref>

Psychologists, starting with Gustav Fechner (1876), have proposed that humans could somehow recognize this ratio in all kinds of proportions and experience it as the most aesthetic proportion.
The few men that actually have faces that match the golden ratio, such as singer Harry Styles, actually do have a hi [[SMV]] and are known as [[Pretty Boy|Pretty Boy]]'s. <ref>https://worldofwonder.net/science-reveals-harry-styles-handsome-man-planet-knew-already/</ref>

Even in populations where the women select the men only for their looks, the men '''heavily deviate''' from the golden ratio in attractive ways. For example, the most desirable men always have striking, hunter eyes, more prominent cheekbones etc.
 
Harry Styles most recent male ancestors, since at least 1893 have had very low status non violent, careers. <ref>https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/one-directions-roots-revealed-varied-2272716/</ref>
 
All of that suggests [[Pretty Boy]]s and by extension [[cutecel]]'s are "genetic flukes" or "mistakes", essentially by products of [[Betabux|non dominant looking men]] reproducing with women whom have golden ratio faces (conventionally beautiful women).
 
== Further criticism ==
 
Studies by psychologists, starting with Gustav Fechner c. 1876,[103] have been devised to test the idea that the golden ratio plays a role in human perception of beauty. While Fechner found a preference for rectangle ratios centered on the golden ratio, later attempts to carefully test such a hypothesis have been, at best, inconclusive
 
Some specific proportions in the bodies of many animals (including humans)[98][99] and parts of the shells of mollusks[3] are often claimed to be in the golden ratio. There is a large variation in the real measures of these elements in specific individuals, however, and the proportion in question is often significantly different from the golden ratio
 
but sometimes with the claim that each new chamber is golden-proportioned relative to the previous one.[100] However, measurements of nautilus shells do not support this <ref>claim.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio#Disputed_observations</ref>
 
Others argue any attractive proportions associated with the golden ratio are by pure coincidence. <ref>https://www.fastcompany.com/3044877/the-golden-ratio-designs-biggest-myth</ref>
