Heard some people say that you need high cheekbones to be attractive. But I always thought what mattered more was that they’re defined, well-shaped, and chieseled etc. being high on the face is more of a bonus. Am I incorrect? Examples would be cool.

High - ideal
Low - will make u age like shit
 
Well, high set cheekbones tend to be more defined, eh?

Yea. High set and prominent (good amount of forward projection is good). I think too much lateral projection can look odd.

Survivorship bias, low cheekbones looks like shit 90% of the time for a man and quoting one isolated counter-example doesn't change that fact.
Low cheekbones is a feminine trait and a major failo for a man, moreover the lower the cheekbones the rounder they tend to be.

Also Depp's cheekbones are mid-set, not low-set.

High set round cheekbones are good too.

it look good if u have bone mass and angularity, if u have a shitty round jaw then ofc it’ll look shit

depp and drago both have low set, if not then post exemple cuz idk how it can be lower than that
 
High cheekbones are more ideal, but forward and lateral projection (to some extent) are more important. There is lots of chads with low cheek bones e.g. meeks

Meek's looks good because they are defined, plus they extend up a decent amount.

Now, if you took Meek's cheekbones and raised the top region of the cheekbones to be closer to the eye and increased infraorbital projection, but kept the same round/defined shape they'd be great.

Essentially, higher set Meek-style cheekbones + more infraorbital projection.

This pic doesn't have them higher set, but that level of projection is great

You are still unable to disprove the fact that it looks like shit on 95% of mens and as i said the lower they are the rounder they tend to be and thus the more likely they are to looks like shit.
This is actual low cheekbones :

jesus christ. Low set (touching below the nose) looks like shit.

The meeks ones above look great tho
Meeks don't have low-set cheekbones, he is in fact oftenly used as an example of high-set cheekbones.
The highest point of his zygomatic arch is right under his eyes and high comparatively to his nose.

Most mans don't have sharp cheekbones nor prominent zygos at all jfl
It's not an ethnicity question, the lower they are the rounder they tend to be and thus the more likely they are to look bad on a man, you can find some exceptions it doesn't change that fact which was my original point.

Also the guy that you posted indeed have sharp zygos but he looks like he have short face syndrome and i honestly don't find his zygos striking nor aesthetic.
Take a look at him :

Good shape, good ogee curve and yet his zygos aren't aesthetic at all.
 
@mrriceguy has low cheekbones with good projection. higher would look better for sure but projection and sharpness also matters (not as much tho)

if anything this is only proof of how much of a failo light eyebrows are

It'd still look bad imo, his eyearea is weird also (most of the methhead vibes comes from his weird autistic stare i think).

His eyebrows aren't even that light and they have a good shape and most importantly they are decently long (short eyebrows = death sentence), even with darker eyebrows he would still look bad, less bad but still bad.

Just hide the most important part of the face theory lol
Also without his eye area his zygos cannot appear even high or low-set since we don't have a comparative point between his eyes and the highest point of his zygos
Obviously he looks like shit not only because of his zygos but despite a good ogee curve i don't find his zygos aesthetic at all nor striking

bro youre a retard you said his cheekbones and zygos are not great. i blocked his eyes and all of a sudden they became good. we weren't questioning if he looks good overall, obviously he doesnt. his methhead eyes fooled you

this alone looks great objectively there is no denying that, and this was the part in question

but no one look like the guys you’ve linked jfl it’s just extreme case of super round and proeminent zygos, obviously it look subhuman


yes it is an ethnicity question, native (the guys that uve linked) tend to have rounder zygos, your original post is about 90% men who got low zygos look shit which is simply not true, it depends of the shape and bone mass etc

and yes his zygos are aesthetic jfl he just have bad eyes area
