People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn't mean average on the "scale of beauty/attractiveness". But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

It was tested already several years ago that people tend to like faces made by merging a lot of faces together and "averaging" them. Most of the time rating them more attractive than the individual faces used.

I don't find the source anymore... I'll check better later.

It more likely means 'like faces that were called average in the dataset' rather than an actual average.

That seems like an extremely chiseled jaw line on the guy for all the features to be averaged.
