This is the thing that makes your skull robust. This is the thing that TRULY identifies how big your skull is. Head circumference is a cope for dolichocephalics, what you really need to measure is your temple-to-temple width:
Total width

It truly is the base for your skull, since cheekbones just follow the temples. Someone who mouthbreathes their entire life with wide temple width will still have a high fwhr because temple width cannot be affected much if at all by environment.

Average temple width is 127mm (medium fit glasses width)

What if my cheekbones are wider than my temples?

what matters is your temple width measurement, not how your cheekbones look in relation to your temples

Narrow temples + small neurocranium is truly what makes someone look ethnic tbh. It's an insanely subhuman combo

They should be wider, but only slightly

How to accurately measure this with nose and lack of a clear end of the temple?

where tf did you get the average male temple length Is 145mm. The only shit I can find is eyeglass length which is completely different

"On the temples, you'll see ''4 1/2 – 5 3/4'' or sometimes just ''7'', which is the longest temple I've found. The longer temple number is the full length, so if it says ''4 1/2 - 5 3/4'', they're 5 3/4'' temples. More contemporary frames may be in metric, in which case they'll be 135, 140 or 145, something like that. The photo below shows a 5 3/4 inch (145 mm) temple, the average length for most men's frames."

its the same thing really

And the photo below shows temple length on a pair of glasses. The article even shows very clearly wtf they mean by temple length, which is not at all what you described.

I believe you, temple width is vital to having a good skill I’m just not so sure the measurements you provided are accurate.

Narrow temples are such a massive falio. There's no ideal haircut. If you have wide masculine jaw you will look like an idiot. If you have narrowish gonions you will look like a potato. Wide zygos don't help as well. There's nothing you can do about it to look good.

Damn this is why i always see something off with my forehead. It's same length as lower third but narrow af Looking like an alien. Truly over for me

Exactly. I have it but never noticed it till now . I always thought it might be because of my large forehead. Bomer have equal facial thirds but because of his narrow temples his forehead looks big. My parents both have it. I think there are custom implants for temple width? Is it possible?

I think people here talked about implants like that.
