Why is a chin like this attractive? What is the scientific explanation?

[.*my*.]

Why are softer chins not as attractive?

 

[Deleted member 9380]

softer chins are more feminine

 

[.*my*.]

softer chins are more feminine

Yes that’s right, we perceive softer chins as more feminine. But why is that?

 

[.*my*.]

That's not even a large chin

The chin you're comparing it to must be tiny

I’m comparing it to this

that's still decent , this is more like it

because females have them way more often than males do

men typically have taller, wider and more square chins

 

[Deleted member 5583]

From what I just read, not really much of a functional reason than "iT iS dImOrPhIc" "because it is"
Interesting question

I didn’t necessarily mean the size of the chin, I was talking about the chiselness and the sharp edges.

 

[.*my*.]

Not a big different honestly

Still noticeable

That’s true, but I don’t think that’s a deep enough analysis. Is there any correlation between masculine chins and testosterone or health?

Testosterone, definitely

Nobody really knows, niggas like to say that is because its muh dimorphism, muh evolution, but those explanations are all pseudoscience

Well there’s still a reason why chins like that are attractive. Everything that we find attractive has a survival reason.

Ofc there is, but im not sure if thats true, evolutionary psychology is mostly pseudo science, I dont see how a square chin or Hunter eyes would be significantly important for survivoring in a pre-historical environment

 

[Taylorswift]

What looks attractive is attractive and there is no deep scientific explanation behind it other than the fact that humans find a certain combination of features attractive.

Hunter eyes are (partially) the result of a prominent brow bone. The more prominent the brow bone, the more protected the eyes are from... claws, fists, arrows etc. So for hunter eyes there is an explanation.

I have no idea about square chins though.

Tbh, there are definitely some influences.

You don't get fucked if your punch, and you can chew like bones and shit.

Yeah, but how significant is that? I mean, if someone hits you in the eyes with a rock many times you will go blind having hunter eyes or not, for me its very hard to imagine a scenario in which having Hunter eyes instead of cuck eyes would be the difference between going blind or not, thats why Im telling you this is pseudoscience
They see an attractive feature, Hunter eyes for example, and then proceed to make up an explanation who fits their theory that attractive features are the ones who are better for survivoring
Im sure that if cuck eyes were attractive, they would quickly make up some other delusional explanation on why cuck eyes are better for survival
Its just bad science with no empirical evidence

 

[.*my*.]

Look at it like this: broad shoulders are attractive in men. Why? Because you can hold more bone, muscle and fat. You can kill and survive easier.

Same goes for height.

A defined, good looking jawline is a sign of a healthy childhood and the absence of allergies that cause mouth breathing.

Good skin? A sign of health.

Good hair? In part, also a sign of health.

Wide hips in women? Easier labor.

In my opinion, if we study the subject enough there will be a survival explanation for everything.

 

[johncruz12345]

A lot of this shit doesn't make sense, like why are certain proportions on the face attractive. It' just sensory organs. And why is face the most important thing. Its such a small part of our body.

[.*my*.]

Good proportions are a sign of health, in my opinion. For example eyes too close may be a sign of inbreeding, which is a red flag in mating.

Yeah, it doesnt make sense cause its total bullshit
Evopsych is a meme, just a joke that has gone too far at this point
The truth is that we dont truly know.

The theory that simetry correlates with health was debunked a long time ago

There is some truth, especially in female features, like hips, breast size, age, but for males it doesn't make that much sense, especially the hunter eyes, jaw stuff.

 

[.*my*.]

The theory that simetry correlates with health was debunked a long time ago

I have no idea who debunked it. According to studies that theory is still very close to the truth.

 

[6’1cel]

Why are softer chins not as attractive?

because softer chins are easy to break, women are biologically wired to look for men with the best genes so their kids have better chances of survival (nowadays sucess not just survival)

 

[Rabbi]

I can punch myself in the face and not get hit lol.
Also we learned that the browridge acts as a stressor antagonist of the jaws forces

 

[Rabbi]

OP is that really ur eye area in the avi?

If you get punched in the jaw does it hurt.

never thought of it that way. Yeah I guess that could be true. Also the reason why thick necks are attractive, for example, is because it’s harder to knock someone out who has a thick neck. That is common knowledge in boxing.

 

[.*my*.]

OP is that really ur eye area in the avi?

Lol no. It’s a guy I know.

what do you mean?

Despite the widespread assumption that symmetry might be a sign of good health, studies have turned up little evidence of a link between the two. A few small studies have linked facial asymmetry with some short-term health woes, like scratchy throats, but many others have found no links at all.


However, those studies were generally small, relied on people to accurately report their own health and focused on participants' recent health.


In the new study, researchers examined 4,732 British 15- and 16-year-olds whose health had been tracked since birth as part of the United Kingdom's Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.



The researchers analyzed three-dimensional scans of teens' faces, looking for symmetry, and compared those findings to health measures including birth weight, childhood health problems, body mass index (BMI) and even IQ at age 8.




The results showed no links between health and facial symmetry. Asymmetry was not related to more childhood ailments, nor to a lower birth weight or higher BMI, Pound told Live Science. Low birth weight and high BMI have each been linked with numerous health problems.

Why Is Symmetry So Sexy? It Has Nothing to Do with Health

Do healthy people have attractive, symmetrical faces? New research suggests there is no link.

Ive never got in a fight so idk but I think it would help.
Side not studies of contact sports have shown that athletes with a larger neck circumference suffer less concussions with a lower one

 

[Uglybrazilian]

symmetry means health is such a meme LOL, it was never proved by any serious empirical evidence, 2020 and there's still niggas falling for this shit

Now look at this one

 

[AutisticBeaner]

protects your teeth from punches bruh

Finally. A reasonable theory. Thanks.

 

[AutisticBeaner]

if you're asymmetric then something in your development went wrong, it's not complicated

 

[Uglybrazilian]

Now look at this one

As you can see, those studies were based on self reported health. On the second screeshot, they used women's complains about pain etc as indicators of health. You dont need to be High IQ to see that this is not scientificaly valid. Its just bad science and has been debunked.

 

[Uglybrazilian]

there's not reliable empirical evidence for your assumption

 

[AutisticBeaner]

it being the case with all the other species is not enough evidence?

 

[.*my*.]

it being the case with all the other species is not enough evidence?

Best reply tbh

 

[Uglybrazilian]

it being the case with all the other species is not enough evidence?

I dont know if thats the case with all the other species, does more symmetrical lions have better health or something? I dont really think so

I have high standards to believe in a theory, no empirical evidence no party

 

[.*my*.]

The fact that women can spot a high T male by only his smell and the fact that he happens to have a symmetrical face is pretty solid evidence if you ask me.

if a lion is asymmetric then something in his development went wrong. but you never see any. humans are so asymmetric in comparison because nobody is perfectly developed since we all grow up in shit environments.

 

[Uglybrazilian]

The fact that women can spot a high T male by only his smell and the fact that he happens to have a symmetrical face is pretty solid evidence if you ask me.

I dont think a women can spot a high T male by only his smell, never seem reliable empirical evidence for this too, let alone if high t males tend to have more symmetrical faces

This conversation is getting tiring, I wont change my mind and you wont change it too, so just believe in what you want

have a nice day

Google it. There are several studies that prove that, and none of them have been debuked.
