The Genetic Components for Beauty in Both Genders

💚Facial Beauty- Genetics?

I was looking at my old files the other day searching for ideas for my blogs. I found I have written a couple of articles on the genetics of musical/artistic talents but had never written if there is a genetic component for a person's attractiveness ( beauty) in both genders.   The websites below discus in detail the current knowledge of the genes that may be associated with being a beautiful person in both genders. 

" In females, the genetic variations that most closely related to facial attractiveness were linked to genes that affect body mass, or the measure of a person’s weight and height.  In males, the genetic variations were linked to genes that affect blood cholesterol levels.

The study authors point out that research has found blood cholesterol levels play a role “in the synthesis of testosterone and other steroid hormones.” That may help explain why attractiveness scores were tied to a cholesterol gene.

The correlation between a female’s body mass and attractiveness, however, points to one of the limitations of the study: Researchers don’t yet understand the roles of age, physical body shape, facial expression, and makeup in the perception of attractiveness".

Conclusion: Similar to many other human traits, there is not a ‘master gene’ that determines a person’s attractiveness,” Lu( author) said in a statement. “Instead, it is most likely associated with a large number of genetic components with weak effects.

Beauty standards varies from regions all over the world. What may be considered beautiful in Asia may not be necessarily beautiful in Africa or South America vice versa.  So  what is considered beautiful in Asia?  

Facial Features. Small and V-shaped Face: A petite, V-shaped face is often considered ideal in Asian beauty standards. Big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a delicate jawline contribute to this sought-after facial profile. Double Eyelids: In most Asian cultures, having a crease or "double eyelids" is considered attractive,

Additionally, large and expressive eyes with a double eyelid, a small and straight nose, and a small and full mouth are often prioritized in Asian beauty standards. Fair or pale skin is also considered attractive, as it is associated with youth, elegance, and wealth.

Finally here are the top ten most beautiful women and Men of the world for 2024. Do you Agree?



 Lastly to me beauty is not only the physical aspects of the person, but her/his mind and personality as well and as the spiritual side of the person. Again I agree on the saying that Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.

  1. "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." - Kahlil Gibran
  2. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

    Speaking of Beauty: I have resided here at THD for over 15 months now, but it was only last week, I saw this beautiful antique table at our Conference Room, just across our Lobby and Activity Room. Judge for yourself.


    Note to THD Management
    : Several residents requested that I write in my blogs that sofas be provided near the FirePlace in our new activity room for seating comfort and enjoyment of the Fire Place for the coming winter months. The Sofas do not have to be new!
