Striking features are not attractive

[VampyrMaxx]

Averaged and dimorphic features signal developmental stability, indicating good genes.

Striking features are selected AGAINST, because they indicate developmental instability, caused by deleterious alleles.

An example would be a wide set IPD compared to a normal IPD. People with this feature are often avoided.

Normal

Striking

Maximally striking

As a looksmaxer, you want to look AVERAGED, not average nor striking.

Biology, sure, but in terms of what's considered socially striking it's usually very high canthal tilt, low set brows, very bright colored eyes, large jaw, pouty lips, etc.

Youre confusing yourself.

Those arent striking features inherently, if they don't go into the extremes.

drake maye is extremely masculine

Masculine but he has a couple striking features that take away from his attractiveness.
