1 Averageness. https://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~schaller/308Readings/NOBA-Franklin.pdf When faces averaged as a composite the faces tend to generally look better. This is due to fact humans tend to move towards the average that being said the most attractive faces didn't exhibit full on averageness it's deviations from the average that exhibited the most attraction from women.
2 Sexual dimorphism covers a whole variety of facial traits which deviate from the average the main exhibited traits are (Broad chin,longer more prominent jaws,Projecting brow ridge,Robust Cheek bones with less bulk on it meaning a more of an Asian kind of cheek bones it's to bulging and it's unaesthetic,and last part having less fat around the upper part of the neck.
3 Symmetry this relates to your facial ratios. The biological reason for this all this is symmetry relates more pathogen resistance and they act as a useful indicator for for sperm quality or mates of high phenotypic value ( Note not all EVO BIO's takes this approach but a lot do and this model has more predictive power as we can predict certain things to be true if this theory was true like the halo effect like a commonality between cross culturally civilizations pointing towards an agreement.)
(Link to the study for Putative Ratios of Facial Attractiveness in a Deep Neural)
4 Facial adiposity (Low body fat) was found to be the most attractive at 12 percent Body fat a lot of things change when you lose weight you eyes loose the puffiness effect you loose the crease on your maxilla and your hyoid fat reduces significantly.
5 The final 2 point what is the last part that creates attractive faces ? browner skin,a narrower facial shape. So doing a review of all this it would appear attractiveness is very objective it's cross cultural and chad is a deviation from the norm.

All the studies Used.
1.https://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~schaller/308Readings/NOBA-Franklin.pdf (Link for averaged faces)
2.https://sci-hub.se/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-2494.2005.00286.x (Sexual dimorphic characteristics.)
3.http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.295.7989&rep=rep1&type=pdf (This study included some more traits than the other study such as brown skin and having a less fat around the necks that deviated from the norm.)
4.https://www.businessinsider.com/body-fat-linked-to-male-attractiveness-and-immune-system-2012-11?r=US&IR=T (This study showed the ideal facial fat ratio is around 12 percent roughly.)
https://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakul...ypen.htm#:~:text=Characteristics of the male "Sexy,Less%20fat (And this study is an amalgam of all these other studies)
TLDR.
1. Sexual dimorphism.
2. darker skin (and I don't mean the curry kind just a slight tan.) or beta carotene skin.
3. Averageness.
4.symmetry.
5 Low Body fat.
6 your facial hair a light stubble is ideal.
7the quality of your skin I:e pores acne.
7eye colour.
Essentially water is wet kinda stuff but no 1 on this site seemed to be providing citations for why each trait was attractive.
The issue with most these studies in how they work is that they prototype an attractive image then they then get a female participant and then they ask them to rate then from this correlation they say roughly this trait correaltes with sexual attraction these studies never put a causation factor.
The very last point I think there is 1 thing that does drive sexual attraction what is it ? Hetrozygosity within a population this helps with fighting pathogen resistance. This study i listed below showed generally there wasn't an own race preference for males quite on the contrary there was a preference for peoples of different descent a reductionist view would simple be to say that's just cause asian's are ugly however i think that's simplistic a better explanation is that we tend to find those genetically different from us more attractive cause it aids in pathogen resistance.

A Man With 12 Percent Body Fat Is The Best Mate, Evolutionarily
12 percent body fat, not a masculine face, is ideal for telling a good mate from a bad one: these men had the best immune systems and were the most attractive.
