An interesting field of study utterly ruined by the internet.
A shame we'll never see more of those old OkCupid studies because of people drawing overarching conclusions from a tiny dataset from one specific part of the world speaking one specific language.

Also very Interesting how primitive the 2016 tech is by comparison. Anyone's mobile can do a far better job Feminizing or Masculinizing a face these days.

Many parts of Latin America are heavy on mustaches compared to the 'West', etc., etc.
I.e., move on; nothing of value to extract from this study.
