Oh dear! I do look French, don't I, according to the chart. I never much thought about that. People have told me that I look exactly like my mother, but i didn't equate that with looking French. It didn't matter in France, because I lived in Paris, where just about anyone can find a niche, and no one really bothers to tell you whether you look any way but bad... :) Maybe I just got on with the wrong crowd. In Antony, I fit in because I'm small and short and a bit dark. As for the asexuality: how could I make that less obvious? I don't go around wearing long dresses and shirts that go up to my chin. I dress comfortably, but my college has a dress code, and I follow it. I've been taken in as people's "projects" time and time again, but I get bored, and/or don't enjoy the clothes or makeup. Besides, to me, looks were not important until a few days ago. Thank you everybody for your input!

Also just to point out, if you have travelled to various countries, you can usually tell how people differ in nationality by their facial structure. There may not be a great difference in some nationalities but there is enough difference to be able to discern which country they are from.

It's a surprisingly good chart. Finnish, Swedish and Russian as well as the Asian women in the pictures have many of the stereotypical features specific to their areas.

Here, i guess this 70% of your problem.

I know, because it's probably mine.


It's in your inability to show sex appeal, since you're asexual then you're normally unable to show it.

I am heterosexual, but women (and people in general) often don't see any sex appeal in me, i know that from their remarks. Back to the school days, I was often thought to be "sexually dysfunctional" or gay, once i was asked by a colleague in high school whether I am able to get an erection or not.

I once overheard my guy trying to convince a girl that I like girls, when i showed up, he was like "tell her that you like girls!", I said yes I do but she didn't sound so convinced! I dunno, maybe I should have grabbed her ass back then? lol


Even to this day, I am still projecting a similar first impression, recently i flirted a woman and she was like "so you can be naughty after all!" in a surprised tone.

So I dunno what to say, what I figured that it's a very unattractive trait I have, maybe next time i should walk around and show my boner to them? lol.
You certainly are not alone ,I would speculate the majority of Aspie men have similar issues.I haven't got a clue how to flirt with a woman or show my interest.

Well I wouldn't worry about how you look as I did this with my weight, was only a little over my ideal weight range and I pretty much didn't eat, only now after a couple of years I found my appetite and my love of food. =] Oh lovely food.
Oh dear... I believe most of my messages appear flirty so I'm gonna cut that out.

Flirty's fine. It's not like I'd notice! Goodness. That could be taken as flirting, too.

Were these women selected because they have faces considered statistically normative for their countries?
Curious.
I was thinking, it'd seem I could probably make a similar chart just with the faces of 50 randomly-chosen women from all the states

J'aime vous... am I saying that right? It's been like 6 or 7 years since I did french and well I assumed that you grew up learning french? I could be wrong of course.

You look normal. Don't try to get in other people's heads and work them out, you'll only get in yours and mess yourself up.

I like west African girls with full lips.

I think those are morph images. A large number of faces blended together to create a single face with average features. That's why the hair and background appears so blurred. But it's hard to tell if they used a sample group of 5 or 500 people for each image. My guess is closer to 5, and I think the creator used a biased selection of attractive women within a certain age group and with stereotypically ethnic features.

I mean, it's clear to see that all women used for the Swiss and German morph images were blond. In reality, only about 20% of all German people have light-to-medium blond hair (source), so a statistically relevant selection of photos should lead to dark brown hair when morphed together. But the selection bias is even more apparent in the South African image. Last time I checked, there were still some black people living in South Africa :)

Yes :) I hope you can post it here when it is complete.
