That's all there is to it.

That's all.

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"? 🙂
Jesse Howard43 said:. I suppose that’s just some sort of desperate coping mechanism regarding oversized jawlines. No true apex predator would ever look quite like that.
Richard Sanders7 said:Exactly, the agepill. It’s one of those things you just can't dodge. I suppose if we're talking about the male experience, the dickpill might actually be the most brutal one out there. If you're dealing with being a dicklet, you can barely even handle basic self-pleasure, let alone anything else. At that point, I guess it feels like your only options are trannymaxxing or just opting for the rope.

maxilla > mandible
The maxilla is easily the most important bone in the human body, hands down.
Jesse Howard43 said:I honestly don't quite grasp what distinguishes a good maxilla from a bad one. I suppose there is some kind of distinction, but it has always struck me as somewhat esoteric. My gut feeling is that the eyes—specifically the entire orbital region—are actually the most critical factor. It seems to me that the eyes provide the most value when they are well-positioned, and conversely, suffer the most if everything else is off. I haven't spent much time dwelling on the specifics, but at first glance, that’s how it appears to me.
Jesse Howard43 said:I suspect that the eyes—specifically the entire area surrounding them—are perhaps the most critical factor. In my view, they likely provide the greatest positive impact when they look good, yet they can also be the primary element that detracts from one's overall appearance if they don't. I haven't spent an excessive amount of time dwelling on the finer details of aesthetics, but at a glance, that seems to be my initial impression.
The relationship between maxillary structure and aesthetic appeal is a subject I find endlessly fascinating, though perhaps a bit more complex than most people realize. It’s one of those foundational elements of craniofacial anatomy that remains largely invisible until something goes wrong, yet it dictates so much about the overall harmony of the face. In my estimation, the maxilla acts as the primary architectural anchor for the midface. When we talk about facial beauty, we aren't just talking about a single feature like eyes or lips; we are discussing the structural framework that supports them. A well-developed maxilla provides the necessary projection to support the soft tissue of the cheeks and the periorbital region. If the maxilla is recessed—what some might call a "flat" profile—it creates a cascading effect. You often see a loss of volume in the cheekbones and a certain lack of definition around the eyes, which can make a person look prematurely aged or tired, regardless of their actual age. Furthermore, there is the matter of the dental arch and lip support. A properly positioned maxilla ensures that the upper teeth and jaw align in a way that naturally supports the upper lip. This creates that subtle, youthful fullness that many people strive for through cosmetic fillers. Without that underlying skeletal support, the lips tend to collapse inward, which significantly alters the lower third of the face. I suppose one could argue that modern orthodontic trends are increasingly moving toward addressing this skeletal foundation rather than just straightening teeth. We are seeing more interest in how bone positioning affects the entire facial silhouette. It isn't just about a "perfect smile"; it's about whether the scaffolding underneath actually holds up the features we consider beautiful. Maybe it's an oversimplification to say the maxilla is the sole arbiter of beauty, but from a structural standpoint, it certainly plays a starring role.
It seems to me that one cannot overlook how much the maxilla—the upper jaw—dictates the overall aesthetic appeal of the human face. I suppose it’s easy to focus on individual features like the eyes or the lips, but if you look closely, the structural foundation provided by the upper jaw essentially sets the stage for everything else. It influences facial projection, the support of the midface, and even the way light hits your features. Maybe it isn't talked about enough in mainstream discussions of attractiveness, but from what I can gather, the underlying bone structure plays a far more significant role in facial harmony than most people realize. It reaches quite high, almost grazing the edge of the eye sockets. The structure extends quite deep into the cranial cavity. In fact, the specific dimensions, contour, and placement of the maxillae serve as the primary blueprint for where the nose sits on the face. I suppose I should probably address the matter of the eyes, though it feels like a somewhat abstract starting point. It’s an interesting topic to dwell on, if you ask me. There is something about the way we perceive visual stimuli that dictates so much of our interaction with the world around us, isn't there? Perhaps it is more profound than I am giving it credit for, but I find myself wondering how much our ocular perception shapes our very reality. It is a heavy thought, I guess.The sheer scope of the maxilla is something most people completely overlook. It isn't just some isolated structural component; it’s the foundation for your cheekbones, the shape of your palate, the positioning of your upper teeth, and even the alignment of your lower jaw. Once you truly grasp the profound anatomical significance of this single bone, it becomes almost absurd—perhaps even a bit foolish—how much emphasis is placed solely on straightening teeth. I suppose if you're dealing with a severe malocclusion, focusing strictly on dental alignment misses the entire forest for the trees. It is an interesting physiological observation, though I suppose one might find it unsettling if they aren't prepared for it. I’ve often wondered about the implications of having eyes of slightly different sizes—what we might colloquially call ocular asymmetry. From a strictly biological standpoint, most people possess some degree of facial asymmetry; it is arguably the norm rather than the exception. However, when the difference in eye size becomes pronounced, it can certainly alter how a person is perceived by others. I guess you could say it creates a certain visual tension. There is a subtle, almost phantom-like quality to it that draws the gaze, perhaps unintentionally. I suspect that from a purely aesthetic perspective, some might find it striking, while others might perceive it as a flaw. It really comes down to how much one values perfect symmetry versus the more organic, irregular beauty found in nature. Maybe it’s just a matter of perspective, but I’ve always felt that these small deviations are what make a face truly memorable. It isn't necessarily a medical concern unless there's an underlying issue, but it does pose a fascinating question regarding human perception and the way we process facial features.A deviated septum—it’s often just a byproduct of how the maxilla has shifted out of place. If you take a look at these photos, you can really start to see the domino effect the maxilla has on everything else, from the positioning of the cheekbones and the eyes down to the shape of the nose.
Given that the maxillae extend up toward the base of the orbital sockets, their elevated and forward projection essentially provides structural support for the eyeballs themselves. I suppose this explains why a face with significant horizontal development tends to yield much more attractive, vibrant-looking eyes, accompanied by smooth, taut skin in the suborbital region. Conversely, if a face is primarily vertically oriented with flat, downwardly displaced maxillae, the eyes can end up looking quite sunken and perpetually exhausted. Furthermore, when the maxilla is recessed, it effectively restricts the forward projection of both the anterior teeth and the lower jaw. This misalignment frequently results in significant crowding around the lower canines. Additionally, a recessed lower jaw almost inevitably leads to a rather unflattering, sagging chin profile.

Is this physique actually unmoggable?
