If your opinions are strong enough (and let's face it most peoples are) then these would probably be more of an influence on attractiveness than facial symmetry alone. However, the research does make sense, despite being imperceptible to most people on a concious level.
There have also been studies (oft repeated and proven) that show women will, given the chance, pick a man most genetically dissimilar to themselves based on the odour of their sweat, which chemically indicates the genetic makeup of the individual. She'd pick someone of different genetics in order for his DNA to fill any gaps in the defences of her own immune system, so any offspring would develop better defences, having 'more bases covered' so to speak.
Of course, most guys would wear an artificial scent that masked this, but I can see how there could be some truth in the research and the reasons why.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
