Da Vinci

In order to show this, Da Vinci traced out golden rectangles on the face of an average human subject. One could suppose, that the more golden rectangles that could be traced out, the more aesthetically pleasing a person’s face was.

Obviously good looks are associated with an aesthetically appealing face. According to Luca Pacioli and Da Vinci's propositions, the more closely one's face adheres to proportions dictated by the golden ratio, the more aesthetically appealing a person is. Gee, now math is connected to sex appeal. How strange and curious this subject is! Yes. Sex appeal and math. You've got one, you've definitely got the other.
