What do you mean by rejected?
Looks like I can make threads without them being checked now...so I will begin.

A huge part of what makes us ugly and beautiful is hormone levels for the sexes. So high testosterone for men, high estrogen for women.

Signs of high test in men...

Wide jaw...think Brad Pitt
Muscularity
leanness
Brow..very important and very masculine trait
More assertive

Signs of high estrogen in women

Longer face
Bigger breasts
More hourglass figure

Now those are fairly genetic, same with stuff like nose, philtrum length(thing between your nose and lips), ears etc etc...

Now the biggest thing that affects/effects beauty that you're in control of is diet and breathing. Do you ever wonder why loads of people all of a sudden need braces yet all skulls that we dig up from 100's and 1000's of years ago have perfect teeth? It is because western food is too soft...this is because we eat a lot of grain food now and processed food. Before we would eat tough meats, nuts and even chew on things like leather to make clothing. This means the jaw doesn't develop properly and it effects the amount of space we have for our tongue, also blocks off airways meaning people become mouth breathers rather than nose breathers. This causes the face to become elongated which isn't desirable.

Example of mouth breather



The thing is after the bones have developed there is little you can do. But basically your parents are to blame if you have an elongated face and are a mouth breathing...this is for two reasons, they should have gave you a better diet and also stopped you from mouth breathing. My mom would say to me 'stop catching flies' then tap my mouth shut. My diet wasn't great which meant I had wonky teeth and a brace...but I think me grinding on my brace causing my jaw to develop well.

So to sum it up...you can't really be beautiful if you haven't got the right genetics...but if you do have the right genetics you can definitely mess it up. Western food is doing this...also happening in Japan...even more so. I actually thought the reason why men in the west and Japan were looking less masculine was due to capitalism and women choosing richer men rather than more masculine men...but that isn't true at all, it is down to diet.

I am new and mods check over new threads from new members...looks like I have passed the threshold of trustworthiness though.

My views on my other post isn't complete...but I prefer to discuss things as I go along rather than putting a tl;dr post.

Did you read anything about large eyes being attractive as they resemble those of a child? Bit weird, but that's why so many women wear eye liner.
An example what mouth breathing will do to you. This lad got put in a room or something where he was allergic to something...I cannot remember the specifics. But basically he got a blocked nose and became a mouth breather. Look at how it ruined his looks. He was going to be good looking...then became ugly instead. Mouth breathing and soft food retract the jaw and stop it from developing giving a gormless look. It also makes the middle section of the face collapse giving those haunted eyes. I see it loads in the UK.

Yes, this is true.

Men are noncies. Big eyes are attractive to men due to their child like qualities and that is why women focus a lot of their makeup attention on their eyes and make them bigger. By far the most googled porn by men is 'teen'...i genuinely think they would go younger if it wasn't for legal reasons...but obviously not pre-pubescent. But 15-19 range is the range they find most attractive.

If mouth breathing is caught early by caring parents.

Link to other threads, please. I am new.
How does mouth breathing cause an elongated face? I had to have a brace because I genetically have a small jaw but as I have tiny wrists and ribs and don't have a long face I don't think that's because of mouth breathing
Well this thread hasn't been done before.....

:rolleyes:
marlon brando had a ****ty jaw, but he was like the sexiest guy way back when
Hahahahahaha how can one be so obsessed with 'mouth breathing'? I've never even ****ing heard of it. Get a life.

It is.

You probably have all the classic signs. Nose sticks out more, forehead slants backwards.



It is nurture and not nature that has caused this. I gave examples of what mouth breathing does and what stopping mouth breathing does. I guess your profile is similar to the mouth breathers.

Post pics or send them me and I will tell you.

No I literally have none of that. I just have a very tiny jaw but like I said I'm tiny everywhere.

I'm curious HOW mouth breathing makes the face elongated though?

He has a great jaw.



See how far it goes back. With mouth breathers that part is really short.

Can you see in the before pic how his jaw is really weak. Brando is the opposite. Thanks for further proving my point. Marlon Brando is a great example of a nose breather and a good looking guy.

By your mouth being open.

Also it stops the jaw from developing causing less width. So your face is longer and narrower. It also causes problems with mid face and eyes....also makes your nose appear bigger due to tilt of their head.
Napolean Dynamite is a classic mouth breather. Mouth breathing makes you look weak and geeky.
