The best facial attractiveness study that I have found

Hello to everyone.
I would like to present the best study that I have found on Internet, which supports my intuition that for me is over due to the narrowness of my face and the big dimensions of my nose. This Italian study examines the faces of forty-six attractive boys selected by a casting team, and compare the position, angles, volumes, and areas of different landmarks of their faces with those of 141 healthy and normal boys. These are the conclusions of the study:
Considering the components believed to enter in the perception of attractiveness,3,4,11,13 attractive adolescent girls, and young adolescent boys, analyzed in the current study maintained several characteristics of youthfulness and neoteny. In contrast, the oldest boys had some initial characteristics of male adult attractiveness, with a relative increment of the facial lower third (a facial marker of increasing testosterone levels).
attractive subjects had wider, shorter and less deep faces than reference subjects, with relatively larger upper and middle facial thirds, and a reduced mandible relative to the maxilla. Lips were larger and more prominent; vermilion height was a larger percentage of mouth width than in reference subjects,
The "wider, shorter" part confirms our attention on facial width to height ratio and midface ratio, because wider faces tend to be more attractive according to this study.
Lips were larger and more prominent; vermilion height was a larger percentage of mouth width than in reference subjects
It seems that taller lips are better than short and wide lips.
Also, the nasolabial angle was reduced in girls and younger boys, but in older boys the effect was reversed. The prominence of the soft-tissue profile, and of the maxilla relative to the mandible, were larger in attractive boys, but smaller in attractive girls than in their reference peers.
In the horizontal plane, attractive children and ‘‘young’’ adolescents had flatter faces (typical of newborns), but the trend reversed in the ‘‘old’’ adolescent subjects, with a relatively more prominent chin.
This feature is consistent with current reports on adult male attractiveness: high prenatal testosterone levels, and high circulating testosterone produce a more prominent lower face.

Does this support the idea of the anteface as a good feature?

Nasal volume was smaller in attractive adolescents than in reference subjects, as previously found in adult women, but in contrast with the patterns observed in attractive children. Even if the reduced nasal volume in attractive women may be an effect of surgical interventions, the current finding seems to depend upon actual esthetic preferences.
This is obvious
Total facial volume significantly increased with age in both sexes ; it was larger in attractive girls and in attractive ‘‘young’’ adolescent boys than in the reference subjects, but smaller in ‘‘old’’ adolescent attractive boys than in their reference peers. Overall, volumes were more homogenous in attractive than in reference adolescents. Sexual dimorphism (boys larger than girls) was present in both age groups. The forehead (facial upper third) occupied a significantly larger part of the face in attractive boys and girls than in reference subjects. The ratio significantly decreased with age (older adolescents had a relatively smaller forehead than younger adolescents), and, in each age group, it was larger in girls than in boys.
Instead, this is in contrast with our theories: it says that smaller faces are more attractive (in older adolescents) and bigger forheads are better than smaller ones.

In attractive adolescents, the mandible was significantly reduced relatively to the maxilla. In girls, the ratio significantly increased with age, with a relative larger mandible than maxilla; in boys, the ratio increased in attractive subjects but decreased in the reference ones (significant group age interaction).
In attractive adolescents, the facial area/volume ratio was significantly smaller than in the reference subjects, with a relatively more rounded face. The effect was reversed in the ‘‘old’’ boys (significant group age interaction).
Older attractive adolescents have less rounded faces. It seems obvious.
Attractive adolescents had a wider upper face than reference adolescents; additionally, attractive girls had a significantly wider middle (t-t) face (Table 4). In both sexes and in both age groups, facial height (total, n-pg; upper, n.sn; lower, sn-pg) was smaller in attractive adolescent than in their reference peers, with statistically significant differences for n-pg and n-sn. Reduced upper (n-t, p 0.004 in girls) and middle facial depth (sn-t, p 0.001 in girls), and mandibular corpus length (pg-go) were observed in attractive adolescents. Age and sex influenced all measurements, with wider, longer and deeper faces in males than in females, and in ‘‘old’’ than in ‘‘young’’ adolescents.
Differences in facial dimensions were coupled with differences in facial shape: attractive boys had more acute soft tissue profiles than reference boys, with smaller angles of facial convexity
Attractive adolescents had relatively more prominent lips (except the ‘‘old’’ boys),
The conclusions:
Wider, shorter, and less deep faces with relatively larger upper and middle facial thirds, and a reduced mandible relative to the maxilla; • Larger and more prominent lips, with a reduced nasolabial angle; • Smaller noses; • In boys, more prominent soft-tissue profile, and maxilla relative to the mandible; • In older boys, a more prominent chin.

What are your opinions about this study? I hope that it can help who wants to looksmax.

That is to say: The most attractive, fertile girls would choose Liam Hemsworth nearing his 40s over 20-something Chico Lachowski any day, but the fever pitch of ugly young women (the same ones who push Kpop) drowns out the attractive girls easily.
