i think everyone has inward gonians

[oxymoron]

When we think of outward gonians, we often reference faces like Brad Pitt or Matt Bomer, but I’m starting to believe this has more to do with masseter insertions and the mandibular base rather than just the bone itself. What may seem like the bone sticking out is actually the masseter muscles protruding. This makes me reconsider the idea of an 'outward' mandible—it seems more likely that the mandible's width and masseter development are what create that structured, prominent look from the base of the jaw.

People who appear to have 'inward' gonians likely just have narrow jaws, which prevent their mandibles from being visible from the front, making them seem more inward. In reality, it's not that their gonians are positioned inward, but rather that their overall jaw width is too small to display prominence. A wide mandible combined with large, well-developed masseters is what truly creates that strong outward jaw appearance.

Additionally, factors like individual bone structure variation, genetic differences in masseter insertion points, and overall skull shape also play a role. Some people may have high or low masseter insertions, which can affect how prominent their jaw appears. Others may have a naturally wider or more compact skull, influencing how much the mandible contributes to their overall facial structure. While bone width is important, soft tissue development and genetics are just as crucial in determining whether someone has an 'outward' or 'inward'-looking jawline.

was scrolling through tiktok and it further proved my point take a look at pitts jaw and notice how his jaw curve

looks roundish and curve into his neck, also explains y a lot of the times he use to look bloated after a bit of fat, ur jaw appearence depends on being lean, good masseter insertions( ur ramus) and how much fibers ur masseters has genetically

anyways im bored now thats my theory

this is my most high iq post i have ever made

You're mostly right - many user claiming a 13+ cm jawbone width are likely exaggerating or including soft tissue in their measurements. A significant portion of perceived bigonial width comes from muscle and soft tissue, so a purely bony measurement that large would look extreme in real life.
For bone-only measurements, the average typically falls around 9.5–10.5 cm, though some individuals definitely have more flared gonions, although the soft tissue makes more of a difference

i will go as far as saying people with inward gonians if they have a wide enough jawbone it can look flared

does better maxilla development change your gonians?
