Facial leanness is in itself an attractive trait, and the more lean you are and are percieved* to be, the more attractive you are
Intro
This has been discussed before on this forum but a quick rundown is that having low facial adiposity (being lean in the face/no fat) is a great predictor of attractiveness, this is held true amongst men and women and across the races. Most of what is in this thread has already been discussed but this is a complete breakdown of facial leanness.
African Perceptions of Female Attractiveness
Little is known about mate choice preferences outside Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic societies, even though these Western populations may be particularly unrepresentative of human populations. To our knowledge, this is the first study to test which facial cues contribute...

Results show that youthfulness, skin colour, skin homogeneity and facial adiposity significantly and independently predict attractiveness in female African faces. Younger, thinner women with a lighter, yellower skin colour and a more homogenous skin tone are considered more attractive.
Predictors of facial attractiveness and health in humans - Scientific Reports
Facial attractiveness has been suggested to provide signals of biological quality, particularly health, in humans. The attractive traits that have been implicated as signals of biological quality include sexual dimorphism, symmetry, averageness, adiposity, and carotenoid-based skin colour. In...

male attractiveness was significantly and positively predicted by masculinity, symmetry and averageness and negatively by adiposity. Female attractiveness was significantly and positively predicted by femininity and negatively by adiposity.
In addition, being lean also shows off whatever bones you have. Being fat fucks up your face and covers most bone growth/definition which is why leaning out is the number one looksmax, and why every single attractive person is lean.
So far so good, everything discussed is common sense to most people here and is already known. Furthermore, low body fat by itself is attractive, even if you have weak bones you’ll still look better lean than fat.
Lean Bones Hypothesis
To sum it up, round, full bones will make your face looks less lean even when you are at low body fat.
This makes you look more feminine, as low body fat is a dimorphic, masculine trait; as is having big, round bones.
“Women generally have a higher percentage of body fat than men.” ~ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11706283/
So is being a boneless subhuman who is at 6% body fat ideal then? No. in order to have a really lean face that looks good like O’Pry, Gandy etc. you do need robust bones and you also need forward growth
But your bones can’t be huge and round like an eastern asian person or an native american. When Barrett slims down or uses photoshop his bones look a lot smaller and his face looks leaner and therefore more masculine and less like a faggot overall. (Barrett is also a confirmed homosexual.)
