Experiments have shown that we perceive our own face as more attractive than it really is. When presented with a series of morphed pictures of their own face, from less attractive to more attractive, people tend to not pick the unmodified picture as the real one, but one morphed slightly more towards attractive (where “attractive” mostly means “symmetric”, IIRC).



Sounds interesting, but I hope the study was done both with photos and photos flipped liked in the mirror.
