A '''compact midface''' | A '''compact midface''' has been argued to be attractive for both men and women on [[lookism]] forums and related online spaces (see also [[midface ratio]]). | ||
It involves a midface/maxilla that is short and wide and tends to involve a high [[FWHR]]. | |||
A long midface (sometimes called a ''horseface'') is sometimes argued to be unattractive in men, though a short midface (in particular a high ratio of upper and lower facial features) is actually a [[neoteny|neotenous]] feature and since women tend to be more neotenous, it may be even more important for women. Indeed, women's [[philtrum]] is shorter than men's.<ref>https://www.facebase.org/facial_norms/summary/#phillength</ref> A long distance between nose and mouth appears gerontomorphic, even apish and brutish as various great apes closely related to humans, e.g. Chimpanzees, have strong forward growth of the maxilla, presumably owing to less self-domesticated nature, consumption of raw rather than cooked meat, and using their mouth as a mechanical tool like many other animals do to eat their prey (rather than using their hands like humans). Of course, a ''very'' compact/wide or very elongated/narrow faces look unnatural and bad in both sexes in accordance to the [[goldilocks principle]]. | |||
There is evidence that faces have become less compact and more elongated in modern societies.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> | There is evidence that faces have become less compact and more elongated in modern societies.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> | ||
