Hey guys. When I was way younger at 15, I had a fixation on the idea of having hollow cheeks. Despite that, I always had an underlying impression of hollow cheeks being somewhat overly-gaunt looking. Once my aunt said hollow cheeks are an awful feature, so not only I had this impression but now I had a woman properly said stating she dislikes it.

I don't think hollow cheeks look necessarily bad. Nevertheless, visible bone structure is a win for the most part, when you have a face so lean your chiseled (or not) bones are able to be seen, it's a positive. The catch is, hollow cheeks can make you look too slim, too chiseled, or with shadow-light contrast overly stark.

If you aim to appeal to the vast majority, then, you want to have some facial bone visibility while your cheeks are still covered by a very subtle skin/fat pad to keep you from looking skelletal-worth.

The solution to this is cheek dimples. I was fascinated over Tommy Lee's bone visibility and how it looked better than usual hollow cheeks and then I noticed: his dimples allow his bone structure to be somewhat visible while still retaining enough mass to make him look full, even, complete.

The difference between cheek dimples and hollow cheeks is mostly dimples being sunken, hollow areas over your maxillobucal complex, while hollow cheeks being sunken, hollow areas spanning from your maxillobucal complex to your zygomatic bones.

At sometimes Tommy Lee himself looks to be hollow-cheeked, but his case is very subtle and what stems most from it is dimples alone.

In my point of view, it is a major example of subtle vs overdone: dimples are subtle, hollow cheeks are overdone.

Sure hollow cheeks look more awesome, but more awesome isn't always more attractive.

Common sense, brother.
 
If ur cheeks are exceptionally hollow, yeah, it's going to make you look like a malnourished African child if u have shitty health indicators and a skinny neck. But if u have chad bones, thick neck, and generally good health indicators, slight hollow cheeks are ideal

Agree on that, but I think dimples are better than hollow cheeks regardless of other factors, I mean standalone properly said. Hollow cheeks are way better for modelling and for niche appeal, but for broader appeal I'd pick dimples since you have the best of both worlds (visible bone structure and women who like it specifically, while not being too visible to repel women who dislike it, but of course it isn't in any way a dealbreaker in 99% of the cases anyways).

True. Wish I had them

I think I lost touch with the blackpill for too long, honestly. In my own time (I'm from Lookism.net btw) everyone would disagree with this, I bet
Btw is Lookism.net not available anymore? I attempted to register but was never successful.

Common sense where? Dimples appear only when you are smiling. As a person with dimples I say.

And hollow cheeks are visible every time. You are mixing things.

Sorry for replying late, only logged in again now

Yeah, Lookism.net went through a shit ton of stuff mid-2019 (around July) and then again late 2019, which destroyed it all

I’m really glad it seems to be up again, but I don’t really know if it’s legit what it was before or if it holds up the same content
 
I swear not a single molecule was read

Maybe dimples isn’t the right word then. I’d say in my concept it is more prominent when you smile but visible in any expression nonetheless
