The title is polarising I admit but hear me out.
If you’re fat you’re fat. You will be unattractive regardless of how good your jaw itself is.
However if you’re very lean, majority of times you will have an aesthetic jaw. Your jaw has to be extremely recessed or narrow to look bad at low bf%.
Christian Bale for example doesn’t have a wide jaw yet it still looks good at low bf% due to the defined jawline.
In fact the wider your jaw is, the more important low bf% becomes. We’ve all seen Jordan Barrett and Tom Welling’s descension when they put on weight.
If you’re just slightly recessed, being at low bf% would help more than you think. This guy here has a bad jaw by PSL standards but because he’s lean it doesn’t hold him back that much and actually harmonises well:
If we were to rank individual looksmaxxes, low bf% is EASILY number 1.
