Gay alien phenotype: Difference between revisions

'''Gay Alien Phenotype''' is a specific look many male models have, to the point its become a meme. Forum users on looksmax constantly debate the actual defining factors of gay alien phenotype but rarely come to any consensus other than that this look constitutes ranking at high tier on the PSL scale (around a [[Decile|PSL 8]] despite the odd appearance). The name itself implies that people with GAP have such a distinct, striking look that it would be inaccurate to call them human in appearance. The gay part might be [[physiognomy]] relating to the [[homochad hypothesis]].

Australian model Jordan Barrett is often held up as prime example of the Gay Alien archetype by PSL users. His extremely compact midface along with his high positive [[canthal tilt]] and extremely sculpted and lean face may contribute to this characterization.<ref>https://looksmax.org/threads/wow-jordan-barrett-is-looking-like-a-literal-gay-alien-these-days.575528/</ref>

Some have suggested women can also be "gay aliens;" for example, the Swedish supermodel and [[Gigastacy]] Elsa Hosk has been referred to as such.<ref>https://looksmax.org/threads/what-the-fuck-is-a-gay-alien.289883/</ref> Hosk has extreme PCT and a very compact midface, which give her a highly [[neoteny|neotenous]] appearance. Neoteny may also contribute to the "gay" part of this archetype.
