A '''compact midface''' has been argued to be attractive for both [[men]] and [[women]] on [[lookism]] forums and related online spaces | A '''compact midface''' is a [[midface ratio]] which has been argued to be attractive for both [[men]] and [[women]] on [[lookism]] forums and related online spaces. The midface is considered compact when the maxilla that is short relatively wide which tends to mean that the face has a high [[Facial width-to-height ratio|width-to-height ratio]]. A very long and narrow midface (sometimes called a ''horseface'' or ''long face syndrome'') is sometimes argued to be unattractive.<ref>Sandra Kahn; Paul R.
