Attractive Faces

[Jhonny]

There are some faces let's say hollywood faces that are attractive to everyone (i personally think it is because of repetition of them. We saw those faces again and again and got conditioned to like them). But why one is more attracted to some specific facial type than other? One logic can be like attracts like. People with round faces like people with round face. But what is it exactly?? Any documentary on facial attraction. Please share.

Facial attractiveness is a great indicator of genetic fitness.

I dont agree with genetic fitness.

I think it is all about : what makes you attractive to a specific person.This has to do with how much you look like to a familiar/loved one/closest person. So Im gonna take Freud's approximation. Kind of.

And this applies to internal behaviours too. 

But As far as facial expressions/looks too. It is something you have already decided from a very young age and some type of characteristics you genuinely are attracted to.

Most of this is cultural based, so it's pretty pointless to ask unless someone gives some serious scientific study.
