Yes, neck insertion matters. I don't know why this is not talked about more, I've only seen one made by @thecel
Let me explain, Ideally, you want your neck, or your foramen magnum(the hole in the bottom of your skull), to be moved forward enough to where your head will align not straight with your back. Somewhere between your shoulder blades and front delt. I made a diagram to help understand
And no, this isn't the shape of their skull. The right person's foramen magnum is located closer to their chin than the left person
Look at this diagram, this is an example of a normal foramen magnum, you can see how it curves forward at the end, whereas a bad insertion would have much less of a curve. Now, on its own this actually isn't the worst thing ever, the issue is what this causes which is usually a neck that hangs forward. Basically nerd neck. Because naturally you aren't going to stand completely straight all the time, and with this type of insertion you would look recessed if you did, so what happens is people usually hang their neck forward a tiny bit. Which for normal necks is fine, but not for this though. You end up looking like you have horrible posture
I think it also somehow causes a bad bidelt, or vice versa. I've never seen a good bidelt have issues with their neck and posture. Doesn't exist.
This guy is a perfect example, very tall long neck, and if you can imagine him leaning forward even the slightest bit from the side he would look like a hunchback.
Again, also has narrow clavicles with the appearance of low-set shoulders. This makes a literal world of difference, let's look at Alex Eubank
Also has now set shoulders, and a somewhat short bidelt, but why does he look so much better? It's because of his neck insertion, his traps don't look like they're sitting behind his neck, and his chin is at a better angle when looking straight forward, aka posture.
