I also seem to remember seeing some study on the news where they gave people images of peoples faces and people actually found the "non-perfect" ones more attractive. If someone's face was dead on perfect (each eye in line, mouth exactly right, etc) then they reported the image actually gave off a "creepy vibe". I wish I could find that study ... and my keys ...
