It's well-known that humans are programmed to find symmetrical faces more attractive. Some think that this is because it's an indicator of good, strong genes ideal for passing on to your beautifully symmetrical offspring. Although some studies have cast doubt on the "good genes" hypothesis by failing to find a link between symmetry and health, it would still appear that humans definitely find symmetry sexy.

Whilst this is good news for the well-aligned amongst us, it is somewhat disheartening for the wonkier folk. Never fear though, you can always fake it if you're dedicated enough, with careful shaping of things like eyebrows and facial hair, as well as clever makeup to create the illusion of symmetry.
