Haha, well I'm glad to hear I'm no prude ;-)

Regards your post, I think guessing the age of people is something that could be gotten down to a fine art if a person put the time in.  Trouble is, even the head ratio thing won't help once the main bulk of development stops.  Once it gets to that point you have to look at other details in order to guess an age, and that means facial features.  After that, when people get even older you have to start looking at posture for clues, the way they stand and walk etc.  The older a person gets, the harder it gets.

Intersting stuff though, and the first part, the head ratio is something that can be learnt in minutes.  Only the other week I learnt that your eyes never change size thoughout your entire life.  That's why a child looks like it has large eyes, and why they seem to get smaller as we become an adult.  It's just that the eyes stay the same size as our heads grow larger, it gives that impression - weird.

Regards hips and the widening; that's something that desperately needs to be pointed out to teenage girls and young women.  They have obsessions with thigh gaps, but they don't seem to realise that only a mature woman can have a proper thigh gap.  They starve themselves because having narrow hips means that in order to get a thigh gap, they have to thin-out their thighs.  They end up looking like stick insects, not babes.

A mature woman with wide hips doesn't need to starve herself, she can have thighs and a thigh gap as well (as EClark is about to find out whe he starts pushing those polys) :-)

Regards the androgyny, I think one of the easiest tricks for getting that look is to remove your eyebrows completely.  Those two girls in the black gear from the "Embodiment of Evil" Blu-ray capture I posted, they have no eyebrows at all and there are parts of the movie where they look very androgynous because of it.  It's a powerful trick that works because both of those girls are actually very feminine, they have the wide hips (check out the girl on the right).

And yes, I think first impressions of a Poser figure works just the same on our minds as first impressions of a real figure.  It's very true, first impressions count!
