Example: Positive vs Negative Canthal Tilt
Example: Strong eye area carrying the face
You can have a fairly symmetrical face and still be mid or low tier if you have neutral or negative canthal tilt.
Meanwhile, guys with worse symmetry but strong positive tilt and good eye support often outperform them.
Why?
- Canthal tilt controls eye area dominance
- Eye area is the first thing people subconsciously read
- Negative tilt = tired, weak look
- Positive tilt = striking, dominant, masculine look
If your eye area is weak, symmetry just makes you a symmetrical mid.
Reality check
- Symmetry only starts to matter once your eye area is already solid
- A symmetrical face with droopy eyes still reads as low status
- A good canthal tilt can hard-carry even with flaws elsewhere
Eye area > canthal tilt > everything else
Symmetry is secondary unless you’re already high tier normie
If you have negative canthal tilt, it’s basically over. The only real solution is canthoplasty,
Without it, even great genetics won’t fully carry you.
