Maybe a bit of a redundant question as I'm sure most people would answer "Yes", but do you really?
I'm personally a man of science, I'm a fucking nerd and proud of it, I like to say all of my thoughts and ideas regarding nutrition, exercise, attractiveness, living a better life, hell even my career and life plan are based on scientific research, I follow what has the highest probability of working.
In the realm of facial beauty there's, of course a lot of research and discussion, but my question is, how many of you guys actually are about this stuff, for example, the jaw being 89-90% the width of the cheekbones or the face being 1.35x longer than it is wide, these are very objective measurements which the scientific literature clearly suggest are ideal for attractiveness (regardless of race or gender). Yet still, having a lot of ideally appropriate ratios for facial features there's some prevalence of people in these spaces overly glorifying have wide jaws, even when they're out of the ideal proportions, having overly developed cheekbones even when they mess up facial width-to-height ratio, this is specially true for dimorphic features, people seem to think "the more masculine the better".
Intuitively and logically we all know that's not true, of course, but if we all know and accept that reality, why don't people speak and make suggestions accordingly? If you're one of those people, do you think it's just a matter of YOUR personal preference, or that the literature is wrong and actually having heavily dimorphic features is more ideal? Or do you just think this way subconsciously?
