Sexual Dimorphism - This is a set of visual signals formed under the influence of sex hormones.
These traits do not merely indicate sex; they are unconsciously perceived as indicators of fertility, dominance, and genetic quality
Key aspects of dimorphism
ZYGOS
The zygomatic arches need to be thicker and project forward (rather than just outward) to achieve good sexual dimorphism
MANDIBLE
Arguably the most important feature.
The jaw should be substantial - large and high - with good proportions when viewed from the front, ensuring distinct sexual dimorphism
FOREHEAD
A straight (not rounded) male hairline, with a forehead of proportional length and width, is a mandatory requirement
BROWS
The eyebrows should be thick and set low relative to the eyes, and they should extend beyond the width of the eyes
CHIN
The chin should be high and broad, creating a square shape
PROPORTIONS (Frontal)
Neck-to-jaw width ratio: 90–100%
Jaw frontal angle (JFA): 84.6°–95°
Midface ratio: 0.95–1.01
Jaw-to-cheekbone width ratio: 86%–92%
Facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR): 1.85–1.9
TFWHR (total facial width-to-height ratio): 1.33–1.38
Inner canthal tilt: positive tilt of 5.2°–5.8°
Lower facial third proportion: 30.6%–35% of total facial height
Chin-to-philtrum ratio: 2.05–2.55
Facial thirds harmony: each vertical third of the face (forehead, midface, lower jaw) should be balanced, ideally constituting 31.5%–34.5% of the total height
Eye aspect ratio: 2.8–3.6
