An imaging whiz has created composite pictures of women on the Hot or Not site to shed light on standards of beauty.

None of these women actually exist.

The one at the top left is a composite of faces that got a rating of 1-3.4, while the second from right at the bottom is a composite of the highest -- a rating of 9.5-10.

And what did the creator find?

First, morphs tend to be prettier than their sources because face asymmetries and skin blemishes average out. However, the low score images show that fat is not attractive. The high scores tend to have narrow faces.

Stop the presses!
