God, yet another insignificant study without enough information.
96 models, and a sample set of 94 (plus some number in the Hong Kong group).

It, of course, can't take into account moods, personal history, etc. Like, the most beautiful woman in the survey could look just like my exgirlfriend/exwife. It's very likely I'd immediately score her lower.

Are you referring to that old "Angle of the dangle, mass of the meat something, something" calculation?
I always thought it was "heat of the meat"...
