This is my 1000th post which is a big personal defeat for me 
Got me thinking about the overall experience of being here and getting increasingly more obssessed with the BP mindset and viewpoint.
But instead of writing a thread about that (which I will one day for sure). I decided to pollute my mind a bit more with the blackpill. Some people misunderstand the topic of averageness so let me try to explain.
Averageness
The topic is averageness and why it is so important. Most experienced (and/or high IQ) users can agree that it is one of the most important aspects of facial aesthetics.
But what is it? It's just many average features.
"Possible evolutionary explanation for averageness is koinophilia, in which sexually-reproducing animals seek mates with primarily average features, because extreme and uncommon features are likely to indicate disadvantageous mutations."
Example of someone whose many features are above average (making him low in averageness) is Hernan Drago.
Even most users here can agree (and we are autistic as fuck, our subconcious is convoluted/polluted with the idea of attractivness; we can't be totally objective), Drago's face just doesn't click.
It isn't too appealing on first or a 100th look.
Where is the averageness? He has top 1% eyes,nose, cheekbones, jaw, eyebrows and hair. Perfect facial thirds and fifths, perfect symmetry.
There is too much going on here for a human mind to comprehend, it just overall looks too unnatural because you never meet people who look like this.
Drago suffers from too many striking features aswell.
His eyes are too distracting on their own (especially with his eyebrow and hair colour) - and they should be the striking feature. However he also has insane zygos, hollow cheeks, a perfect nose...
Making it too difficult to focus on one feature and making him look too unfamiliar, strange, dangerous (alien looking basically).
1 striking feature + high averageness is ideal
Look at this asymmetrical chad.
Easily appeal mogs Drago. Walker has high averageness and 1 striking feature which are his light blue eyes (eye area being the striking feature is ideal).
Walker also has above average zygos but that's about it. Nothing really striking except for his eyes which take most of the attention away.
If you were to ask people/women about him, they would probably remember he had blue eyes and was handsome (Proving my theory basically).
Walker from the profile view. Nothing really stands out in a black and white picture. Above average bone structure only because a regular human is recessed.
More examples of high averagness + light blue eyes being chad appeal
Chris Pine
Zac Efron
And almost every other actor who has light blue eyes + dark brows/hair combo
Another chad with a different striking feature is Brad Pitt.
What is the striking feature for Brad?
It's his insanely wide jaw.
You tell me are there any other features that stand out? His eye area is above average but his eyes aren't big or light enough, nor are his eyebrows dense, dark or low set enough to give them contrast needed for his eye area to be a striking feature.
Where is the forward growth (both mandible and maxilla are average)? Where are his zygos? Nothing special about his bone structure.
Brad is high in averageness which makes him relatable looking, with his striking feature being his jaw making him have that masculine rememberance about his appearance.
Another example is George Clooney.
Clooney's jaw is very developed giving him a masculine look in motion. Clooney is also a good example of how high averageness mogs from the front (even without any striking features) where his jaw/chin isn't as visible.
You can see his mandible better from this angle, and here it is - a striking feature.
Their collague Johnny Depp is a good example of hollow cheeks being a primary striking feature (jfl at copers hollow cheeks, are a huge halo).
Depp has decent zygos and eye area + average everything else.
Notice how much worse he looks in different lightning here
Huge appeal drop because his striking feature isn't visible here.
Striking feature is also a halo
Striking feature(s) is the first feature an average human will look at. When it's above average and it always is by default; it halos the rest of your face. People automatically (subconciously) assume other features are better than they are (people will always remember Paul Walker as handsome).
Low averageness almost always makes you look alien
Here are some examples of alien looking PSL gods that lack averageness and have too many striking features.
Elias De Poot
Average? Almost nothing
Above average? Almost everything
Striking features? Eyes, zygos, hollow cheeks.
Certified alien.
Sean O'Pry
Average? Forehead
Above average? Everything else (most features are too rare here, as much as they are desirable, it's simply too much)
Striking features? Eyes, hollow cheeks, jaw, chin...
Certified alien.
I could go on with more models but there is no point.
Hunter eyes can be a falio
Notice how hunter eyes make O'Pry, De Poot and Drago look malicious.
This is exactly what pushes them over the edge into the uncanny valley in my opinion.
I think all 3 would be weird looking anyway but those hunter eyes just seal the deal.
Averageness without striking features still mogs
These faces are relatable, relaxing and look familiar. People who look like this socialize (and slay) easier. This is all a factor for who mogs.
Robert Downey Jr.
Very high averageness with no striking features. Even some visible falios like nct but still looks good and has appeal. I would argue he mogs De Poot with how unpleasant De Poot is making me feel (looks evil fr).
Angelic appeal mogs all
The real ideal is angelic appeal. Although this is very rare (and hard to define).
Michal Mrazik
Not high in averageness, a few striking features and insane colouring (but not distracting like Drago or O'Pry) should make him uncanny.
His beauty is more subtle with emphasis on features being less sharp; all of which is making him look more approachable and human.
Vasily Stepanov
His features are not average, not even close. More robust than Mrazik but with a very favourable colouring. This works even though it is low averageness because he looks more approachable. The colouring makes him look divine/angelic.
Basically the difference between an alien who looks like a fallen angel (divine beauty) and an alien who looks like he is there to plot a world takeover (I wouldn't trust De Poot with anything) is colouring (and hunter eyes).
So in what category is Chico?
Lachowski is very high in averageness with his height and skull size being striking ; making him stand out like a giant in the best way possible. Keep in mind all of Chico's features are in the higher levels of average.
He is a weird and rare combination; which is why his appeal is so debated and polarizing.
Also a proof that height is a striking feature on its own.
I met a chad few weeks ago who had extremely high averageness, no falios and no striking features facially, but he was 6 foot 4 on a good frame. This combination is more than enough for giga chad appeal.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the concept of averageness is crucial in facial aesthetics, as it reflects evolutionary preferences for average features over extreme ones.
Striking features can enhance attractiveness if balanced with high averageness. Examples like Paul Walker and Brad Pitt illustrate how a single striking feature combined with high averageness can be appealing.
Conversely, those with numerous striking features, like Hernan Drago, may appear unnatural or alien.
Ultimately, the ideal balance involves high averageness with one or two striking features, which can create a more universally appealing and relatable appearance.
