I think ethnicity does play some role too (which maybe works with the lighting hypothesis?).

I put pictures of really attractive Asian guys (specifically men who honestly have a lot of diehard female fans who are interested in them) and at best they got "Nice"

This is actually a very interesting effect -- it exposes opinions people are generally not comfortable at expressing, for fear of being labeled as racist or something.

Sadly, asian guys are considered much less attractive than our female counterparts in Switzerland.

On a more positive note, now I know if a swiss girl likes me, she's probably not superficial. lol
