It also seems unclear as to whether or to what extent a higher FWHR is associated with facial masculinity. Researchers in 2015 has found no positive link between FWHR and rater's evaluations of men's facial masculinity.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513814001640</ref> | It also seems unclear as to whether or to what extent a higher FWHR is associated with facial masculinity.

Very likely the extremes are regarded as unattractive as it is the case with nearly all aesthetic features, i.e. very wide, e.g. adipose, faces in the one extreme, and a very flat face, sometimes called "horseface", in the other extreme. There is evidence that faces have become elongated, i.e. more flat in modern societies, which may have increased the occurrence of horsefaces.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> | Very likely the extremes are regarded as unattractive as it is the case with nearly all aesthetic features, i.e. very wide, e.g. adipose, faces in the one extreme, and a very flat face, sometimes called "horseface", in the other extreme.
