Ultimate Symmetry Guide: How To Fix Asymmetry & Why it is ESSENTIAL For Looksmaxing

[Bread&Butter]

Hey guys, Bread&Butter here!

This is my first thread and I have decided to discuss the topic of symmetry and how it plays a role in attractiveness.

Sit back, grab a snack, and enjoy!

Why is having a symmetrical face important?

The preference for symmetrical faces is often linked to evolutionary psychology, suggesting that symmetry is an indicator of genetic quality and health, which makes symmetrical individuals more attractive as potential mates.

Face symmetry reflects developmental stability, meaning that an individual has developed without significant genetic or environmental stressors that could lead to asymmetries. Studies have shown that symmetrical faces are generally perceived as more attractive across cultures and even non-human species. This preference is believed to be an adaptation for mate selection, as symmetry signals good genes and overall health.

Here are studies:

This study, available on PubMed Central, discusses various facial characteristics that influence attractiveness, including symmetry. It provides an evolutionary perspective on why symmetrical faces are often perceived as more attractive, suggesting that symmetry may be an indicator of genetic quality and developmental stability.

This study, published in the journal Behavioral Ecology, also explores the role of facial symmetry in attractiveness. It supports the idea that symmetrical faces are generally preferred, as they may signal good health and genetic fitness, which are advantageous traits from an evolutionary standpoint.

Ok, so now that we have gone over why having good symmetry is important in signaling good genes and health, I would like to show you a clear example of a symmetrical face in comparison to one that is not.

(I believe we can all agree that the girl's face on the left has the best symmetry out of the three variations)

Now, let's look at why our faces are asymmetrical and how we can reduce the effect.

[Key: Explanation (blue) & Solution (red)]​

What is the root cause of facial asymmetry?

The asymmetry in your face is not due to sleeping on your side or having larger bones on one side. Instead, it’s likely caused by tightness in your connective tissues, including muscles and fascia. This tightness can even create visible imbalances that extend down to your lower spine. One of the most common sources of this issue is tightness in the chewing muscles, especially the Pterygoid and Masseter muscles. If you habitually chew more on one side, it can make the connective tissue on that side tighter, leading to asymmetry.

Another key factor contributing to muscle tightness and, consequently, facial asymmetry is the lack of a protein called Calcium ATPase. When a muscle contracts, calcium enters the muscle cells. Calcium ATPase is responsible for removing this calcium to allow the muscle to relax. Without sufficient ATP (the energy required for Calcium ATPase to function), calcium remains in the muscle cells, preventing them from relaxing. This leads to increased muscle tightness, greater asymmetry in your body, a higher likelihood of storing trauma in tissues, and even reduced strength when the muscle fully contracts, affecting athletic performance.

Interestingly, it takes more energy to keep a muscle relaxed than to contract it. To achieve a more symmetrical face, you should focus on increasing the chemical energy in your body. Here are some simple ways to reduce excess calcium in your muscle cells:

• Use a sauna

• Practice grounding (barefoot on earth)

• Massage your masseter muscles

• Take Epsom salt baths

• Engage in light movement of the muscles, such as chewing when it comes to facial muscles

• Ensure you’re getting enough minerals:
  
  • (indulge in oysters, swimming in ocean water, organ meats (liver, heart), raw milk, nettle tea, bee pollen, shellfish, shilajit, seaweeds)

(RIP Alain Delon)

Consuming more calcium (except for calcium oxalate from greens like spinach or kale) can help reduce calcium buildup in your soft tissues. This is because calcium intake directly affects the levels of hormones like Calcitonin and PTH, which regulate calcium in the body.

Now, let's cover other areas that can be overlooked
​

Power of grooming - you should consider getting your eyebrows threaded or touched up with some tweezers and an eyebrow razor, you can easily achieve symmetrical eyebrows which could help your eye area's symmetry (will go more in-depth later). Look at this example of a before and after:

(If your eyebrows are too thin, consider using a derma stamp with some castor oil or beef tallow afterward to promote hair growth.)


Fix your posture - If your posture is really bad then you should read this:

The PSNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) and SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System) are two states of your autonomic nervous system.

• The PSNS is active when you're in a "rest and digest" mode.
• The SNS kicks in during "fight or flight" situations.

The PSNS is linked to back-chain dominance, which is crucial for good posture. This means that being in a PSNS state is essential for maintaining proper posture.

The higher your CO2 tolerance, the better you can handle stress. A higher CO2 tolerance keeps you more in the PSNS state and less in the SNS state since the SNS is triggered by stress. Low CO2 tolerance, or an underdeveloped upper jaw (Maxilla), can cause your body to adopt a forward head posture as a way to compensate. By improving your CO2 tolerance, your body won't feel suffocated, helping you eliminate forward head posture. One way to train CO2 tolerance is with Buteyko breathing (click link).

Eyes and ears: Your ears and eyes are part of the sensory system, which is essential for your body to feel gravity and maintain an upright posture. If your hearing or vision is asymmetrical, it can lead to an imbalanced posture.

Here are some ways to improve symmetry in your eyes and ears:

• Limit wearing headphones
• Massage facial nerves
• Spend time outside
• Train your eyes (below)

Eye Exercise: This simple exercise can quickly level your shoulders and correct other asymmetries:

1. Grab a pen or pencil.
2. Hold it at arm’s length.
3. Focus on the tip with your eyes.
4. Slowly bring it closer to your nose.
5. Repeat several times.

NB: Never force your posture. Instead, gently guide your body. Don't walk uncomfortably—your body knows what’s best for you.

Ok, that is all to be discussed. Leave your thoughts below!

Low CO2 tolerance, or an underdeveloped upper jaw (Maxilla), can cause your body to adopt a forward head posture as a way to compensate. By improving your CO2 tolerance, your body won't feel suffocated, helping you eliminate forward head posture. One way to train CO2 tolerance is with Buteyko breathing (click link).

Eyes and ears: Your ears and eyes are part of the sensory system, which is essential for your body to feel gravity and maintain an upright posture. If your hearing or vision is asymmetrical, it can lead to an imbalanced posture.

Here are some ways to improve symmetry in your eyes and ears:

• Limit wearing headphones
• Massage facial nerves
• Spend time outside
• Train your eyes (below)

Eye Exercise: This simple exercise can quickly level your shoulders and correct other asymmetries:

1. Grab a pen or pencil.
2. Hold it at arm’s length.
3. Focus on the tip with your eyes.
4. Slowly bring it closer to your nose.
5. Repeat several times.

NB: Never force your posture. Instead, gently guide your body. Don't walk uncomfortably—your body knows what’s best for you.

Ok, that is all to be discussed. Leave your thoughts below!

nice effort and formatting useless thread

nice effort and formatting useless thread

Interesting, what makes you say it’s a useless thread?

 

[lordgandy2000]

SQUISHY SQUISHY!!!

 

[Bread&Butter]

nice effort and formatting useless thread

The info may seem a like a long shot but I’ve been doing these things on the side, a couple times a week like epsom baths, training my weaker eye, grooming my eyebrows properly, massaging my masseters etc. It’s really been helpful. It does look like it makes no sense but it falls into place once u actually start doing it. Anyway bro have a good day.

Hey guys, Bread&Butter here!

This is my first thread and I have decided to discuss the topic of symmetry and how it plays a role in attractiveness.

Sit back, grab a snack, and enjoy!

Why is having a symmetrical face important?

The preference for symmetrical faces is often linked to evolutionary psychology, suggesting that symmetry is an indicator of genetic quality and health, which makes symmetrical individuals more attractive as potential mates.

Face symmetry reflects developmental stability, meaning that an individual has developed without significant genetic or environmental stressors that could lead to asymmetries. Studies have shown that symmetrical faces are generally perceived as more attractive across cultures and even non-human species. This preference is believed to be an adaptation for mate selection, as symmetry signals good genes and overall health.

Here are studies:

This study, available on PubMed Central, discusses various facial characteristics that influence attractiveness, including symmetry. It provides an evolutionary perspective on why symmetrical faces are often perceived as more attractive, suggesting that symmetry may be an indicator of genetic quality and developmental stability.

This study, published in the journal Behavioral Ecology, also explores the role of facial symmetry in attractiveness. It supports the idea that symmetrical faces are generally preferred, as they may signal good health and genetic fitness, which are advantageous traits from an evolutionary standpoint.

Ok, so now that we have gone over why having good symmetry is important in signaling good genes and health, I would like to show you a clear example of a symmetrical face in comparison to one that is not.

(I believe we can all agree that the girl's face on the left has the best symmetry out of the three variations)

Now, let's look at why our faces are asymmetrical and how we can reduce the effect.

[Key: Explanation (blue) & Solution (red)]​

What is the root cause of facial asymmetry?

The asymmetry in your face is not due to sleeping on your side or having larger bones on one side. Instead, it’s likely caused by tightness in your connective tissues, including muscles and fascia. This tightness can even create visible imbalances that extend down to your lower spine. One of the most common sources of this issue is tightness in the chewing muscles, especially the Pterygoid and Masseter muscles. If you habitually chew more on one side, it can make the connective tissue on that side tighter, leading to asymmetry.

Another key factor contributing to muscle tightness and, consequently, facial asymmetry is the lack of a protein called Calcium ATPase. When a muscle contracts, calcium enters the muscle cells. Calcium ATPase is responsible for removing this calcium to allow the muscle to relax. Without sufficient ATP (the energy required for Calcium ATPase to function), calcium remains in the muscle cells, preventing them from relaxing. This leads to increased muscle tightness, greater asymmetry in your body, a higher likelihood of storing trauma in tissues, and even reduced strength when the muscle fully contracts, affecting athletic performance.

Interestingly, it takes more energy to keep a muscle relaxed than to contract it. To achieve a more symmetrical face, you should focus on increasing the chemical energy in your body. Here are some simple ways to reduce excess calcium in your muscle cells:

• Use a sauna

• Practice grounding (barefoot on earth)

• Massage your masseter muscles

• Take Epsom salt baths

• Engage in light movement of the muscles, such as chewing when it comes to facial muscles

• Ensure you’re getting enough minerals:
  
  • (indulge in oysters, swimming in ocean water, organ meats (liver, heart), raw milk, nettle tea, bee pollen, shellfish, shilajit, seaweeds)

(RIP Alain Delon)

Consuming more calcium (except for calcium oxalate from greens like spinach or kale) can help reduce calcium buildup in your soft tissues. This is because calcium intake directly affects the levels of hormones like Calcitonin and PTH, which regulate calcium in the body.

Now, let's cover other areas that can be overlooked
​

Power of grooming - you should consider getting your eyebrows threaded or touched up with some tweezers and an eyebrow razor, you can easily achieve symmetrical eyebrows which could help your eye area's symmetry (will go more in-depth later). Look at this example of a before and after:

View attachment 3110853
(If your eyebrows are too thin, consider using a derma stamp with some castor oil or beef tallow afterward to promote hair growth.)


Fix your posture - If your posture is really bad then you should read this:

The PSNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) and SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System) are two states of your autonomic nervous system.

• The PSNS is active when you're in a "rest and digest" mode.
• The SNS kicks in during "fight or flight" situations.

The PSNS is linked to back-chain dominance, which is crucial for good posture. This means that being in a PSNS state is essential for maintaining proper posture.

The higher your CO2 tolerance, the better you can handle stress. A higher CO2 tolerance keeps you more in the PSNS state and less in the SNS state since the SNS is triggered by stress. Low CO2 tolerance, or an underdeveloped upper jaw (Maxilla), can cause your body to adopt a forward head posture as a way to compensate.

WHICH IS BETTER CASTOR OIL OR BEEF TALLOW FOR EYEBROWS?

Apply both

 

[Always Stay You]

• Use a sauna

• Practice grounding (barefoot on earth)

And how can these these things fix a lopsided face??? Seriously??? You think were all retarded kids going to just believe this can fix our ugliness? This is just shit. Oh and I dropped it:

I appreciate your concern, but there's no need for rudeness. I've dedicated considerable time to researching this topic, and everything I've presented is backed by both scientific evidence and anecdotal experiences.

I've made the effort to compile this information in a clear, presentable manner for your convenience, with no personal benefit to myself. In this thread, certain techniques have proven particularly effective, such as massaging the masseter muscles and properly grooming eyebrows. Additionally, practices like sauna use, grounding, and Epsom salt baths collectively help reduce excess calcium in muscle cells, alleviating uneven muscle tension that may have caused asymmetry in the first place. These methods not only address aesthetic concerns but also contribute to overall health and well-being.

If you don't have anything constructive to add, it's best to refrain from commenting, especially when someone is genuinely trying to help. I understand that frustration with one's appearance can be challenging, but it's important not to project those feelings onto others who are offering assistance. Let's strive to maintain a positive and supportive environment. I hope you have a good day and apply the useful information I have given you to your life.

Tbh for her it doesent make a lot of a difference either way shes a ltb, in real life you wont notice any assymetrties in the normal range anyway, not that you could fix something like on the far right picture naturally too.
