As you all know, there was a study posted here some time ago about the contributions of face and body to overall attractiveness. It was found that face predicted about 2x more attractiveness variance than the body

I am going to debunk this study and show you that it doesn't mean what you guys previously interpreted it to mean.

Obviously on this forum people think facial attractiveness = dimorphism = wide jaw, wide zygos, big bones, etc...

But actually in reality the most dimorphic facial trait is being lean as fuck in your face. The biggest difference between men and women has always been body-fat, muscle size and height.

You can see that adiposity, but not independent facial masculinity is associated with attractiveness :

TL;DR
For the face:
Masculine dimorphic traits don't matter much, adiposity predicts your facial attractiveness very strongly.

For the body:
Body dimoprhism(muscles, wide shoulders) and adiposity both matter a lot for bodily attraction. Adiposity still has stronger correlation.

also doesnt it call al together? masculine face=wide jaw etc= lean face because androgens melt facefat away and create a dimorphic body etc
 
Not really. Better bones will stretch the soft tissue (also raise hyoid) and give face a leaner look even at same bodyfat.

See, this guy get djs and jaw implant, and now suddenly his face look way more leaner.

To get this sharp look without surgery he would probably be have to diet down to 5% bf which is absolutely impossible.

Total adiposity.
Forward growth makes your face look leaner, so it's important.

No it doesn't only show negative correlation, it also shows lack of positive correlation between facial dimorphism independent of adiposity and facial attractiveness.

That's not a masculine trait, that's proper facial growth. It's not unique to men. You basically proved my point, facial leanness is important, dimorphic facial traits independent of adiposity aren't. This facial leanness is achieved mostly by forward growth and lack of facial fat. Same forward growth that can be achieved by females.

Yes you're obviously correct, nobody except butthurt ogrecels think "muh dimorphism" is what makes a face attractive. Facial beauty/harmony is what's important and doesn't have much to do with facial dimorphism.

I should be swimming in pussy, I've never once got a girl seeming interested in about years of dating app. Yet I always get hit on in bars, female and guys alike touching me, initiating conversation.

Here's a great experiment showing why face doesn't matter, the guy had a great smiling picture of his face vs face-less body picture of his abs, you'd expect a face-less picture to not get any matches, yet:



r/Tinder - Tried a 5 day long experiment on my profile picture. Large difference in number of matches. Disappointed with results...


77 matches face-less vs 10 on a smiling picture with good frame and clothes. His body isn't even that good. I bet the only reason he got those 10 matches is because of how wide his shoulders seem in the picture with face.

My point is though that facial leanness is most attractive trait out there for your face, whether caused by gigantic forward growth or insane genetics, or just good health overall.

Also all this time as long as the face was at least a 3 every single Tinder profile experiment with good body and abs visible got matches and females seemed responsive. Face is really only a cue for men, not women.

Think about it, the opposite of looksmax(obsess over faces) is that female forum where they mercilessly attack females that gained even the slightest weight in their bodies, I don't think I've seen them discussing face much except for weight gain/loss in face.

Men obsess the most over faces and dimorphic traits, females obsess the most over adiposity and status.

THE MAN AND HIS BODY
As already described in detail, I take the opinion that a beautifully shaped body is the only permitted jewelry for a man, with the exception of the wedding ring and a beautiful watch.
The man was chosen to be a hunter by nature, so it's sexy when a man looks like a hunter too.

There is a well-trained torso with broad shoulders and a narrow waist on an equally well-shaped rear and matching legs. Of course I realize that a lot is inherited, but every man can try to make the best of himself. And then there are amazing successes as I can convince myself again and again in my practice.
Granted, some people find it easier to pursue their goals, others have a harder time (this has to do with their testosterone), but EVERY man will celebrate his success if he consistently tarines. And: quite apart from the beauty, a fat-burning and muscle-building workout is also healthy.

I feel like we men have the edge over women, we can always roid and get amazing looking bodies or at least way way above average, yet females can't change their faces.

Of course if you have a real bad looking face it's over, but if you have at least 4 IRL rating while being lean, you're fine.

Same, lean guys usually slay even with butter faces. I know a guy who has a reasonable girl, he's like about 1, maybe 1.5 PSL, like his face has just no bones. But he's 6'5 and about 15% body-fat so he has a decent girlfriend.

Are you retarded? You just posted two pictures of manlets and you're talking about face?

Also they'd both slay if they were tall, their face looks at least 3/10 which is enough for a good body.

I still don't see your point.

It seems like you have low IQ as evidenced by your lack of simple reading capabilities.

I claimed that face attractiveness is mostly a function of adiposity, not dimorphism. You're just posting manlets/old men with disgusting genes to prove what exactly? I never promised being lean will always make someone attractive. But it will be the variable responsible for the biggest difference in attractiveness and so far your pictures prove that.

Cope. Most western European girls around 18-25 adore K-Pop.

Also I don't think they are actually sexually attractive to women, it's obviously different behind a camera than IRL. Females don't like males that weight less than them or that are shorter than them.

To be honest, if you think about it, it makes sense.
Most of the time, people wanting to get surgery, etc or people who want to looksmax want to look more lean in the face.

High Zygomas and a wide jaw with hollow cheeks is definitely what a lean face would (or should) look like ideally.
Face is of course still important and not having a recessed jaw is also important, but what you are really striving for at the end of the end is a face that looks lean. It does make sense.

Good post OP.

You must have ridicilously good fat distribution to have good success on Tinder at 22% body-fat. Do you do sports? What is your meal pattern like(big dinner vs big breakfast, big dinner vs smaller dinner + snacks in-between)?

Also post face nigga.

Excercise daily. Lift. Cardio. Most fat goes to my waist and some to chest 😬. I IF cardio one hour am before breakfast. No food after 5 pm. Also, I was 17% BF on Tinder. Gained some BF back since.

No face doxy. Maybe in the future if I feel more comfortable here.

Bro ur routine is basically what I found to be scientifically best for good fat distribution.

1) Most calories during day, cause melatonin fucks up insulin sensitivity at evening. Also high adrenaline and cortisol prevent system fat deposition(visceral, facial, etc...) during day.

2) tons of intense sports pump that adrenaline and cortisol even higher.

3) no mixing carbs and fat together, eating either carb rich or fat rich meal

Do u do number 3?

Retard how does that prove that? If face matters over 60% of attractiveness, why does lack of face lead to higher match-rate? You're retarded. Also his face looks fine for a guy, he looks like above average normie.
