Misunderstanding on how to take a proper side profile picture.

[Hunter]

Disclaimer this thread is aimed at people using the rating section and how they can have a more accurate side profile rating.

The main problem that I would like to address concerning side profiles is very obvious but in my opinion not talked about enough. A lot of this information will be very obvious but something people don’t often take into account when asking for ratings.

Side profile- Side profile is a view of your head from the right or left
Not tilted up or down.

Your side profile Highlights features such as how lean you are nose shape and size, how prominent and how high or low cheekbones are as well as your Jaw.​

Ideally your posture should replicate the first diagram on the right or second. Diagrams other than the first 2 on the right could give of the illusion of a more down grown face or hide your jawline visibility due to skin, fat and soft tissue sort of bunching up and compresses.
This point is not worth an example and examples were to hard to find.

My main point of this thread is: How much a side profiles appearance can change based on which way your facing the angle of your head as well as many other factors. ​

The sharpness or prominence of features of your side profile can be influenced by the way the skin and soft/underlying tissues are stretched or positioned. When the head is tilted or turned, the skin can be stretched tightly over certain areas making bones and facial features appear more defined or sharper, Most noticeably your Jaw!

People will occasionally see your side profile with all the tissue and skin stretched like picture 1 and 4 but not very often. When your walking pass someone and they are attracted to you they most likely will subconciously look at you to gather visual information of how you look spiking their attention to you and dopamine when they see your side profile (Which would look like the 2nd and third picture.) This is a good video of someone talking about this concept and also inspired me to make this thread. ​

Unfortunately you gotta build up your forum rep so they take you seriously. Nobody really wants to hear advice from a greycel since they think "oh look another tiktok fag"

Most people will also choose the best photo of their side

Forgot to mention *

If there is a gap between ur eyebrows on ur ,, side profile picture,, then it doesnt count

u couldve just wrote have a horizontal frankfurt plane and only one eyebrow visible

 

[gigacumster3000]

Water to some individuals they will choose the best photo of their side and their head wil likely be tilted my thread is clear and simplifies it. People probably wont even bother finding out what the frankfurt plane is

 

[yussimania]

the reason why we standardise is so people can't fraud their recession

If i point my head up - draw a line from my nasion to menton (mandibular plane of recession) you will find that the the line goes forward tilted. Yet if you look normally in the FHP it should ideally be in line. This along with the orbital vector of the eyes and the forehead inclination (from glabella to hairline) will be affected

People who are recessed know this so they tilt their heads up to make it seem as if their jaw isn't recessed. This is why we use the FHP - the gonial angle remains the same regardless since it's fixed landmarks of the menton jaw angle and jaw condyle

good thread for awareness though except for the parts you mentioned about jaw a downgrown subhuman needs to tilt his head far beyond any normal range to appear normal - which cannot be frauded as seen in the below example

Post in thread 'Tiers of Facial Downgrowth. Which one are you in?' https://looksmax.org/threads/tiers-of-facial-downgrowth-which-one-are-you-in.1468468/post-21137397

Also the part you mentioned about skin stretching i think is false tilting your head a certain way wont make your features more sharper it just hides recession in the areas i highlighted above

yes but the end part no

 

[yussimania]

could you elaborate further on the skin stretching mechanism

 

[Hunter]

well tilt your head to the left or right and touch your skin on your neck you will feel it stretch out not to mention all the soft and underlying tissue and i think the pictures provide good examples and any other picture of a side

In the photo you used in the thread with chico looking down - technically tilting your head down would make your skin sag rather than stretch across the bone structure. The reason for the difference between the 2 shots could be due to lighting or soft tissue change.

Here I've found a side profile of chico and slightly adjusted by a few degrees for FHP (not accurate i took 10 seconds)

(original below)

when compared to the photo you used before it appears almost the same - ramus is visible and he doesnt look as flat as the one everyone seems to attribute to him calling him MTN

well find a model/influencer you like with a decent side and compare photos like the example i have shown or even try it yourself

 

[pptada]

Most people will also choose the best photo of their side

they are not wrong tho
