Don't really have to spell it out, but things get obvious when you freeze frame on Angelina Jolie's picture he gives as an example.
You know, Nazis had the same idea of 'ideal look', and they went around the world measuring people's nose length and cranium size categorizing them to be superior or inferior.
No such 'pretty face ratio' exists.
I won't downvote because it shows you some photoshop tips. But I hope nobody buys into this bullshit.
Da Vinci is the one that showed how the human body, not just the face is symmetrical with the golden ratio. You might recognize the images below...

In a study they found attractiveness comes down to simple averages, which in turn fit more closely to symmetry of the golden ratio

Da Vinci's ideas and the what people think is beautiful is not Nazism...
A man drew a chick with no eyebrows. Whoa, so beautiful, eh?
If you want a REAL scientific research paper done on this subject, I found this in JSTOR:

The 'Golden Section': An Artifact of Stimulus Range and Measure of Preference
Michael Godkewitsch
The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 87, No. 1/2 (Mar. - Jun., 1974), pp. 269-277
Quote from Abstract:
"The conclusion is that preference for the golden section is an artifact of its position in the range of stimuli presented and of the measures of preference rather than of any intrinsic aesthetic quality."
I do admit that there's some type of 'universally ugly' or 'universally pretty' face do exist in this world. But I'm pretty dang certain that golden ratio doesn't apply here. Basically almost everyone on this earth who looks 'normal' will fit within that graphed mask.
Besides, it's no rocket science that you'd find a man with 2 feet of jaws and a cranium the size of Jupiter not fit for 'pretty ratio'. Duh.
That's a 9 page article asking 3 groups of 55 people to chose different rectangles that appeared in some magazine!! What does THAT have to do with beauty? The golden ratio has also been applied to music. Heck even Zelda Music uses the golden ratio.

Da Vinci was the first to identify that the proportions of the human body have the golden ratio occurring over and over again. I'm sorry but this picture:

is a little more famous than your articles about people's preferences selecting rectangles.
> Basically almost everyone on this earth who looks 'normal' will fit within that graphed mask.
no. Symmetry between the right and left side of the face is a big part of beauty. The more healthy people look, also the more beautiful. I can give you a source if you want but seems like common sense.
>Besides, it's no rocket science that you'd find a man with 2 feet of jaws and a cranium the size of Jupiter not fit for 'pretty ratio'. Duh.
??? Yeah the more disproportionate the more people are generally considered ugly. Similarly the more in perfect proportion the more good looking. I don't see why you say duh, because that's just supporting the golden ratio, which you call BS and compare to nazism in the first comment... how upsetting too. This vid shows people how to have fun with gimp, learn a little more about the structural differences between a male and a female (the main point), and on the side teaches people about how the golden ratio corresponds to the face. I hope people don't look to your comment as a review for the video -_-.
Okay i'm done here... This whole conversation is starting to remind me of a recent debate i had against a religious fanatic.
Mathematical proportions and symmetry relating to beauty is not BS or nazism. I hope the way you cited that article without reading it will haunt you at night.
Phi is just the positive solution to X^2 - X - 1 = 0. It has nothing to do with symmetry, an altogether separate concept.
Of course it's a 'real' ratio (as opposed to i/2, which is an imaginary ratio), but then so is every other real number; there isn't anything mystical about ratios.
As for Da Vinci's discovery... the golden ratio is approximately 1.618; e (a much more important constant) is approx. 2.718; maybe the 'real' proportion is e - 1 (approx. 1.718)? I bet if I look hard enough, I could find e - 1 all over the place.
