Believe it or not, this isn't the first time we've seen software created in order to determine whether a subject is drop-dead gorgeous, but scientists at Tel Aviv University have seemingly concocted a program of their own that can "interpret attractiveness in women." Before you ask, the researchers have yet to perfect the art of computing the beauty of males, but they're attributing said omission to the difficulty in "defining" attractiveness in dudes. Nevertheless, the software was purportedly able to reach nearly the same conclusion as humans about how lovely (or not) a hundred different ladies were, as it broke down features like face symmetry, smoothness of the skin and hair color. We're told the development could eventually be used in "plastic and reconstructive surgery and computer visualization programs," but c'mon, this is totally meant to automate the grueling Hot or Not process.[Via Physorg]
Their logic is not that hard to figure out actually...
A rough model would be ({bank account}x{occupation}) ^{perceived desirableness by other females}
This reply system is like a mac, someones going to have to hack it so we get full functionality.
you are like a fanboy, you drag in unrelated comments that cause flamewars
I don't need software to tell me if she's attractive, how long before she puts out, if she's a goldigger, if she's a nag etc. I need somethinf that'll tell me if she has a disease.
all our work is done.
Pointless! I hate comparing myself to others. My statement as goes: "If you don't like the way I look, don't fucking look at me. If you think I am annoying or something, stay the fuck away from me." Thats it. Point across. I can't stand people who think they are "All That" because they happen to look good. Its better to be ugly and smart then to be good looking and really stupid.
But I guess however, this technology could be used for plastic surgery, but as to rate someone on how they look, screw that!
I wear Stetson Cologne; therefore, I am attractive to the female species.
Da'ling... You have perfect bone structure... You are GO"GEOUS...
Id like to see the fatties when they demand to get their money back.
I just patented a system that can do this for male subjects. A subject merely enters a special card into a conveniently located machine. The male subject is then asked to enter a Private Identification Number. Moments later, after the Automated Teller Machine runs a complicated algorithm a number directly corresponding to the male subject's relative attractiveness is printed up on a convenient receipt.
lol @ novaland
What if hooters invests in the machine ... and this software gets infected with a virus ! Who will be serving up the half-done wings the next time you go there ?
Well there should a manual mode button to toggle between HOT and DUD.
like , when some one asks if they rlookin gud and they actually look crap..
u can push in the manual mode....
Saves the trouble

This machine is dumb, attractivness is subjective. For example some countries of the east prefer big women whereas some Americans like anorexia make-up clowns. And some places like a curvey womanly woman.
Wait a minute, are you really gonna tell me there just developing this. I get rejected all the time by girls, maybe its the simple pick up line, "Hey, wanna have monkey sex?" or the "You wanna do it?" This software will prove them wrong, I win this round!
