Short philtrum is one of the best traits that there is, it’s a feature of a highly evolved looking human.

Long philtrum/short nose is a dimorphic trait. It depends what the Rest of the face Looks Like, a prettier face will benefit from a short philtrum while a very masc face can benefit from a Long philtrum.

Long chin + short philtrum is dimorphic not vice versa

I'd say almost always short. It's consistently a trait every gl person has.

Long chin + short philtrum is dimorphic not vice versa

short philtrum is a feminine trait, masculine traits≠attractive, big nose, long philtrum, thin lips are all dimorphicaly male features but they aren’t necessarily attractive, philtrum lengthens with age so a shorter philtrum is more attractive as it’s neotonous but short philtrums are not masculine dimorphism

A long philtrum (as long is the chin is within proper ratios) will make you look unique/exotic

 

[Whatever]

Why

Because long philtrum is a Neanderthal trait. Humans (all races) are evolving to have more compact faces.

A long philtrum can look masculine but you need a big chin to balance it out. Whereas short philtrum basically always looks good, it’s a feature of a forwards grown and compact face.
