Summary A larger ratio of Nose-Length to Philtrum-Length is considered as feminine feature, while a smaller ratio of Nose-Length to Philtrum-Length a masculine one. Research by Sforza et al. (2011) found that as infants grow, their nasal dimensions change, with the philtrum length increasing more rapidly than the nasal bridge length in the initial months. […]

Summary A shorter chin length is typically perceived as a feminine trait, as opposed to the larger, more pronounced chins generally found in men. Men often exhibit more pronounced lateral tubercles (bony areas at the chin base), contributing to a broader chin appearance, identified as a masculine feature. Thus, comparatively, a shorter, less broad chin […]
Summary A larger positive Eye Canthal Tilt is considered a feminine feature, while a smaller Eye Canthal Tilt is a masculine one. Penčić et al. (2019) suggest that a “positive canthal tilt”, where the outer corner of the eye is higher than the inner, is perceived as a feminine feature. This is because it is […]
Summary Studies by Jung et al. (2018) and Moradinejad et al. (2022) suggest that the dimensions of the lower face play a significant role in perceptions of female attractiveness. The research revealed a preference for a smaller bi-gonial width (width across the jawline), typically equal to or up to 10% narrower than the bi-zygomatic width […]
Summary Sexual selection and male mate choice favor females with features such as neotenic faces, high-pitched voices, and big eyes, as they trigger a primal male impulse to protect infants. Many scientific studies have shown that a woman’s eye size significantly influences her overall facial attractiveness. A woman’s eye size along with the nose size […]
Summary Chin length is distance from the lower edge of the lower lip to the base of the chin. Research from the University of St Andrews shows that attractive female faces typically possess more feminine features such as a smaller chin and higher cheekbones. A study suggested that broader and longer chin, often seen in […]
Summary Interpupillary Width is the distance between the centers of the pupils of the two eyes, while Bi-Zygomatic Width is the distance between the most prominent points of the cheekbones. A greater ratio of Interpupillary Width to Bi-Zygomatic Width results in the appearance of the eyes being larger in proportion to the rest of the […]
Summary The blog explores the significance of the mouth-to-nose width ratio in perceived female attractiveness. Several studies are discussed, including the “Differences in Horizontal, Neoclassical Facial Canons” study, which suggests that an ideal mouth width is approximately 1.5 times the nose width for enhanced attractiveness. Farkas et al.’s “Geography of the Nose” study found that […]
Believe it or not, scientific studies find facial fat deposits are one of the strongest determinants of attractiveness in a female face. Reduced levels of fatty deposits in the face can signal “health, youth and status” (Thornhill & Grammar, 1999). Researchers from the University of Pretoria and Sefako Makgatho Health Science University in South Africa […]
Believe it or not, scientific studies find facial fat deposits are one of the strongest determinants of attractiveness in a male face. “The relationship between facial cues and perceptions of health and attractiveness in others plays an influential role in our social interactions and mating behaviours.” (Jager et al, 2018). These researchers describe that “facial […]
