The funny thing is, I wasn't even really thinking about this stuff until a few years ago when the whole "lookism" movement started blowing up. 😬
Then it hit me—most of my fellow Americans with my specific heritage actually have that horse-like (or maybe donkey-like, if we're being honest) facial structure, myself included. It’s wider at the top and tapers down into a distinct 'V' shape. Sometimes it actually looks decent, maybe even somewhat harmonious, but it is definitely a specific look. Sure, there are some terrible extremes out there, but most people seem to fall somewhere within a certain "normal" range—whatever that means these days.
P.S. Has society just entered an era of "pretty little mice"? 🙂
I have that kind of face too. Generally speaking, I think those features look more dignified than those ridiculous pear-shaped faces where the jaw is wider than the rest of the head. To me, a V-shaped face feels more predatory—sort of like how an eagle's beak is shaped.
Interestingly enough, I actually measured my own face once, and by my own math, my jaw is technically the "widest" part, even though it doesn't look that way from the front at all.
Honestly, I think the obsession with massive mandibles is just some weird coping mechanism for people who aren't actually high-tier. No true apex predator looks like that.
