Before you think about blasting roids or getting eppley browridge implants in an attempt to escape cuteceldom, check if you have narrow lips first.
The effect that stretching my lips for a few minutes has when i look at my face again in the mirror is insane, instantly makes lower third so much stronger. While it technically has a weaker relation to sexual dimorphism compared to other traits like bigonial width, chin size etc. What it does have a correlation to is making you look like a boy (cutecel) or a MAN (fuckable). narrow lips are a FALIO but wide lips are not a HALO, it should just be seen as normal, no adult male should have narrow lips if they want to be taken seriously.
The guy on the left looks like he could be the guy on the rights younger brother, and yet all that was changed was the width of literal soft tissue.
It's also especially crucial to have wide lips if you have a narrow jaw, if you have both a narrow jaw AND narrow lips then its over. If you have a narrow jaw but wide lips then there is at least some width in that region. you NEED width on your face (water).
This study explains how mouth (lip) width affects your physiognomy: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022103115300251
"Mouth width, which correlates with the propensity for physical combat in primates and could therefore be linked to one's perceived dominance and achievement of greater social rank".
In case you didn't know we (homo sapiens) are primates so this applies to us, this alone should be enough to book your marpe appointment if you're already on the fence about it, forget about the off-chance that your zygos or ipd might widen, if you can even get noticeably wider lips that alone is worth it.
as for harmony, narrow lips of course ruin your nose to lip ratio but further than that they have an impact on your perceived midface ratio and face width in general. wide lips can compensate for a slightly narrower ipd if the commissures reach the pupil, as this makes your midface look more "squared off" and compact, additionally narrow lips make your philtrum look longer, i thought i had a long philtrum but after temporarily stretching my lips i realized i have a normal philtrum length but it just looks giga narrow because of lips and narrow = long.
inb4 you say water, lip width has been talked about a lot on this forum in the past with regards to harmony but not enough emphasis is put on the damage narrow lips have on your dimorphism.
TLDR; narrow lips are very much contributing to you looking like a CUTECEL, finding a way to widen them should be your number 1 priority, The only three methods that can widen lips (that i know of) are Palate expansion, stretching appliances and commissuroplasty.
