It’s basically just surgeons and orthodontists trying to turn 'good looks' into math. They took thousands of X-rays (cephalometrics) to find the average 'perfect' jaw for surgeries, and then the looksmaxxing community ran with it.T
he 120° gonial angle or the nasolabial angle are just indicators of high testosterone and development.So you look more masculine.

They pick a group of people, show them two exact same faces with one ratio being different and notice which one gets rated more highly, that's how they figure out the range

so for example they’d show a guy with a 110 gonial angle and another with a 130 and see who gets picked as more attractive?

Yes, they do that for basically everything, that's how they figure out which features is generally more attractive or more desired too

It's not two guys tho it's just one guy edited

It is true from experience and yeah there are studies on it

Plus it makes sense, women are statistically attracted to men 2 year older so most young women would be attracted to most young men, who don't look that dimorphic
