Rank the most important facial bones

[Methylate]

my list
1. Zygomatic (cheekbones): high set, wide, projecting cheekbones are extremely rare. Only a select few men have that vertical placement or the cheekbones right next to the eyes like massive shields and it makes you extremely striking. Determines your FWHR/facial width, canthal tilt, cheek hollowness, PFL. stretches out the skin around the cheeks so you look leaner.
Extremely dimorphic because women have lower, rounder cheeks than men.

impossible to augment on a male face because implants/ZSO wont give you the high set zygos but instead feminine ones. Only fillers can help and you need tons high around the arch

2. Maxilla: not dimorphic but a health indicator and covers the entire midface. Can cause so many flaws if its not properly grown such as nasolabial folds, bug eyes with scleral show

3. supraorbital ridge: most dimorphic region, females rarely have a large browridge. Gives eye hooding, can determine canthal tilt, determines vertical narrowness of eyes

4. Mandible: mostly dimorphic around the chin/mid mandible. Important but tons of guys have good chins/jaws and they are still ugly. How many guys have perfect hunter eyes or zygos?

5. temples: wide set temples are dimorphic with good temple points. Not a huge dealbreaker.

GL having good eye area without a big low-set browridge.

 

[SpearOfOrion]

Brow ridge is very important, how many people do you see with a ridge like this?

Maxilla > Mandible > rest

 

[Aesthetics_III]

Agreed, but I don’t think zygos are the most important, but instead the most rare. As far as I know, the only person to have truly high set zygos is O’Pry, but his aren’t very forward projecting and prominent

 

[AutisticBeaner]

completely agree with your #1 except for the last part. it is inarguably dimorphic but in the same way as it is for women. i dont see women having particularly lower cheekbones than men. theirs might be more round and delicate but high ones are just as attractive on women as they are on men. it's a big health indicator, just like the maxilla.

 

[Phillybeard1996]

Prominent meaning larger then average right?

max henhappels might be a tiny bit higher; look at his fantastic under eye support

 

[Aesthetics_III]

not necessarily larger, but they pop out more relative to your other features

 

[Phillybeard1996]

not necessarily larger, but they pop out more relative to your other features

Well if you have very large zygos they are noticible unless you store alot of fat on your face

 

[Viro]

shit thread all of them are important missing one is a major failo no matter what

 

[Aesthetics_III]

Yes, larger zygos generally lead to more promient zygos, as well as lower and rounder ones. It’s why it’s really rare to see high, prominent zygos because they’re usually quite small, and therefore not very prominent.

 

[Methylate]

Henhappel only has #1 and maybe infraorbitals and hes the midface god

 

[Aesthetics_III]

mirin, for some reason they look lower than O’Prys although they’re not. they look round though

Then why do so many guys have good mandibles yet are ugly af whereas almost no one has good zygos/maxillas.

 

[Aesthetics_III]

You can’t really see since his cheekbones aren’t protruding, but this is an example of high set.

 

[Deleted member 2846]

Because more good looking people have good mandibles. Mandible/chin is one of the most masculine facial traits.

1 orbitals
2 mandible
3 cheekbones
4 maxilla

 

[Methylate]

Because a good mandible is much, much more common than a good zygos/maxilla. Good zygos alone can make you extremely attractive regardless of other features, see Henhappel or andreas eriksen. They also make you age better because it stretches out your midface

Attraction is not based in how rare or common a trait is

Yes, I agree with the cheekbones. I don’t even see 2 people a day with good cheekbones but I see more gl dudes with good jaws. V

If tons of guys have good mandibles and are still unattractive then how can it be the most important trait? i see so many guys with good chins/jaw width with shitty midfaces and they look horrible from the front. Trade that good jaw for good zygos with PCT and they would look much better.

jawline is bluepill cope, tons of guys get jaw implants and they still wont get attractive because they dont have a good midface.

when you look at someones face, you look at their eye area. Thats why the midface is the king.

Orbitals are more important than mandible

1 orbitals
2 mandible
3 cheekbones
4 maxilla

canthal tilt, PFL.

It doesn't, this is a myth from Lookism.

He is a low version of Jordan

 

[Pietrosiek]

maxilla is the most important

 

[Deleted member 3593]

Zygos. You can’t have a bad eye area with high set and wide zygos and it’s an extremely striking feature in motion.

 

[Methylate]

Orbitals are more important than mandible



It doesn't, this is a myth from Lookism.

Orbitals are 3 different bones, and zygomatic (lateral orbital rim) determines PCT because its LATERAL meaning high set zygos will press up the lateral canthus giving PCT.

 

[DianabolDownie]

He is a low version of Jordan

in his prime professional pics sure

But in his newer unprofessional pics hes the ugliest fucking 200 ml of filler, transitioning to male, lesbian, Lord of Bloat

 

[Gunna]

few men have that vertical placement or the cheekbones right next to the eyes like massive shields

post an example of this boy

Nope

 

[DianabolDownie]

Would mine be considered medium set?

Zygos. You can’t have a bad eye area with high set and wide zygos and it’s an extremely striking feature in motion.

you cant have good zygos without good maxilla

 

[Eduardo DOV]

1. Mandible
2. Maxilla
3. Orbitals
4. Cheekbones

orbitals comes before mandible.
maybe maxila comes even first since it is difficult to change it.
both are important, but if you could not change it, I'd go with good orbitals and bad maxila.

you're right. I have a terrible jaw (short ramus, slight recessed chin/small chin) but I have excellent eye area and girls find me attractive. The eye area like brow ridge, eyebrows is most important
