Hundreds of years go, fans of physiognomy and phrenology used facial and skull size characteristics to guess who was a criminal - before they committed the crime. Racists and bigots and racists looks at people's faces to form opinions of intelligence and personality. Nazis used physiognomy to promote their horrific eugenics scheme.
Personal attractiveness is not based on judging the facial features of photographs of people we've never met. Yuck. What a disgusting, sexist experiment. The fact that this took place in Israel is even more disturbing to me.
