The Jawline - Analysing the Perfect Male Face (Part 1/4)

Summary

This video script delves into the mathematical aspects of facial attractiveness, focusing on the jawline as a key feature. The presenter breaks down ten specific characteristics that contribute to a 'perfectly attractive' jaw, assigning each an importance level on a scale of one to five. From tight hyoid skin to a well-defined mandible, the analysis highlights what is considered universally attractive and provides insights into how these features can impact one's appearance, with a particular emphasis on health, youth, and masculinity.

Takeaways

• 😎 The video discusses a mathematically derived 'perfectly attractive' male face, generated by computers, based on specific facial ratios and features.
• 🔍 There are 55 different features categorized into four parts that contribute to the attractiveness of the face, starting with an analysis of the jaw.
• 💆‍♂️ Tight hyoid skin, where the neck meets the chin and jaw, is crucial for attractiveness, indicating health, youth, and fertility, and is given an importance level of five.
• 📏 The chin to filtration ratio (ideal around 2.5:1) is important, with larger chins appearing ogre-like and smaller ones appearing babyish.
• 📐 The jaw should be divided into three equal parts for maximum attractiveness, deviating from this can result in less appealing jaw shapes.
• 👄 Chin projection is essential, with the ideal chin slightly jutting forward to avoid a flat appearance and add definition to the face.
• 🦷 A forward-grown mandible that aligns or overshoots the nasal bridge is more attractive, conveying strength and masculinity.
• 📈 The mandible should be near parallel to the ground with an ideal angle of around 10 degrees, avoiding a steep, unmasculine appearance.
• 🛡️ A straight mandible is highly important, conveying robustness and high testosterone levels, unlike a curved mandible which suggests the opposite.
• 🗝️ The gonian position should undercut the mouth when measured by a horizontal line from the gonion, affecting the perceived volume of the jaw.
• 🔢 A short gonial angle, ideally around 110 degrees, is more attractive than a steeper angle, which can detract from the jaw's appeal.
• 🦴 A long and well-defined ramus contributes to a masculine appearance, in contrast to a shorter ramus that can appear more feminine or weak.

Q & A

What does the video claim about the analyzed face?

The video claims that the analyzed face is mathematically perfect in terms of attractiveness, based on certain facial distances, ratios, sizes, and definitions.

How many features are considered in the analysis to make a man perfectly attractive?

There are a total of 55 different features considered in the analysis.

What is the first feature discussed in the video, and what makes it attractive?

The first feature discussed is tight hyoid skin, which is attractive because it is indicative of health, youth, and fertility, and adds definition to the jaw.

What is the importance level of having tight hyoid skin, and why is it crucial?

Tight hyoid skin has an importance level of five out of five because it is a crucial feature for facial attractiveness and can significantly affect one's appearance.

How does the video define the chin to filtration ratio, and what is considered ideal?

The chin to filtration ratio is defined as the size of the chin compared to the filtrum (the skin between the mouth and nose), with an ideal ratio being around 2.5 to 1.

What is the significance of having equal thirds of the jaw?

Having equal thirds of the jaw is significant because it contributes to an attractive jaw shape, avoiding a triangular or box-shaped jaw, which are considered less attractive.

What does a forward-grown mandible convey, and why is it important?

A forward-grown mandible conveys ideas of masculinity, strength, and power, making it an important feature with an importance level of four.

Why is a near parallel to ground mandible angle considered more attractive?

A near parallel to ground mandible angle is considered more attractive because it adds depth and volume to the jaw, avoiding a steep and unmasculine appearance.

What is the significance of having a straight mandible, and how does it relate to attractiveness?

A straight mandible is significant because it conveys strength and robustness, making it a crucial feature with an importance level of five, and is associated with higher testosterone levels.

What is the role of the gonian position in determining jaw attractiveness, and what should it ideally do?

The gonian position should undercut the mouth when measured by drawing a horizontal line from it. This contributes to the jaw's volume and attractiveness.

How does the length of the ramus affect the perceived masculinity of the jaw?

A long and well-defined ramus adds volume to the jaw, making it appear more masculine, while a shorter ramus can make the jaw appear more feminine or weak.

What is the importance level of the last three features discussed in the video, and why are they interconnected?

The importance level of the last three features (gonian undercutting the mouth, short gonial angle, and long visible ramus) is three. They are interconnected because they all contribute to the volume and shape of the jaw, affecting its attractiveness.
