Summary Narrow eye shapes in males are often linked to perceptions of attractiveness. A study focusing on cultural differences revealed that Caucasians tend to prefer a “Western-type” eye shape, characterized by a narrower appearance, which contrasts with the preference for larger, rounder eyes in some Asian cultures. In addition, research suggests that narrow eyes are […]
Summary Research According to a study by Zebrowitz et al. (1993), due to the aging process, natural changes in skin elasticity often lead to the development of hooded eyes. For males, this transition can enhance a rugged and mature aesthetic, which is often associated with wisdom and experience. Reference Zebrowitz, L. A., Olson, K., & […]
Summary Close-set eyes, where the distance between the eyes is less than one eye width, are considered an attractive feature in men, as suggested by several studies. Bochan (2006) categorized eye spacing into close-set, normal-set, and wide-set eyes, emphasizing their influence. Adamson and Galli (2009), in their study published in the Journal of Plastic and […]
Summary Deep-set eyes are widely regarded as a hallmark of masculine attractiveness, with several studies highlighting their significance. Holzleitner and Perrett (2016) identified deep-set eyes as a “masculine” trait linked to testosterone-driven facial morphology. This characteristic, combined with a pronounced brow ridge and angular features, signals strength, dominance, and attractiveness. Similarly, Adamson and Galli (2009) […]
Summary Average mid-face height is considered attractive for males. A recent observational study with 500 participants measured various facial dimensions, finding an average mid-face height of 66.8 mm for males. This measurement aligns with prior research by Sadacharan (2015) in “Facial Proportions of Indian Americans and its Clinical Applications,” which reported an average mid-face height […]
Summary A larger bi-gonial width is attractive for males as it contributes to a strong, masculine jawline. Research supports this trait’s association with masculinity and attractiveness. A study by Sandhya Nagolu et al. at Garden City University found that the mean bi-gonial width for males was 176.53 mm (6.95 inches). Similarly, a study by D. […]
Summary Research shows that bi-zygomatic width, or the distance across the cheekbones, is generally larger in males, highlighting it as a masculine trait. Velemínská et al. (2012) found that during puberty, higher testosterone levels in males promote the lateral growth of cheekbones, resulting in greater bi-zygomatic width. Similarly, Lakhiani and Somenek (2019) confirmed that wider […]
The five-point scale is a widely used method in medical and psychological research to assess facial adiposity with greater nuance than the basic low, moderate, and high categories. This scale provides a more detailed gradation, allowing for a finer analysis of facial fat distribution and its correlations with health indicators. Detailed Explanation of the Five-Point […]
Summary Nose Length to Philtrum length ratio is larger among females. Yadav et al. (2018) found that females in Nepal have a slightly larger Nose-Length to Philtrum-Length ratio (3.76) compared to males (3.55). Similarly, Nwe et al. (2024) found that among Malay and Chinese university students in Sarawak, females had slightly larger ratios than males, […]
Summary The jaw angle, also known as the gonial or mandibular angle, is where the lower jawbone meets the back edge of the jaw’s vertical part. A study by Mommaerts and Claymaet (2023) identified Model #63, with a jaw angle of 122.3°, as the most attractive for white females, with the average attractive jaw angle […]
