Have you ever seen a face in the front of a car or in the clouds? ndaviden explains why you are likely to assume these faces are male.

, we constructed an"average face silhouette" by morphing together a set of 24 male and 24 female face silhouettes. Even though the morph was composed of the same number of male and female faces, 72 percent of participants judged the morphed as being male. When asked to judge the gender of individual faces as male or female, 70 percent of judgments were male even though only 50 percent of faces were male.

The results from the gender ratings were striking: participants judged the face-like objects to be male much more often than female . Moreover, this effect was comparable across male and female observers.Wardle and colleagues considered several potential explanations. First, they considered the possibility that the photographed objects themselves may have had implicit gender associations. To test this, in a subsequent experiment, the same objects , were modified to remove any face-like features.

Venn diagram illustrating the overlap between a set of high-variability male faces and low-variability female faces.Based on differences in variability, most male faces will appear to be clearly male, while a smaller proportion of female faces will appear to be clearly female. As a result, the region of ambiguity consists of mostly female faces.
